Fashion designer Jeremy Scott has completely ripped off skateboarding in the name of fashion. In his A/W 2013 collection, Scott’s designs can be seen as blatant plagiarisms of classic artwork by Jim Phillips done for Santa Cruz Skateboards. The proof is in the pudding my friends. Let us hope that Jim Phillips and Phillips Studios take legal action to do skateboarding the justice it deserves.
As both a huge Jim Phillips fan (I have his Screaming Hand design tattoo’d on my forearm,) as well as an artist myself, I want this guy exposed as a hack. Crediting someone takes nothing away from your own creativity, providing you used them as inspiration and didn’t just blatantly rip them off. This guy obviously took Picasso’s famous quote a little too literally.
