“Wrapped in Plastic” ONE of TWO

We decided to create this “Twin Peaks” inspired set “Wrapped in Plastic” because David Lynch has always been a big inspiration of mine. The darkly perverse world of Twin Peaks always conjurers up images in my mind and so we decided to open the flood gates and see what would come out.

I imagine Polaroids were a frequent souvenir for the visitors to One Eye Jack’s and so I thought what better way to capture the woodsy world of Twin Peaks than on a wood framed Polaroid set.

Prints are up for sale in a limited run over at our etsy store derekwoods.etsy.com

WHO INSPIRES YOU?

I follow a lot of amazing people on tumblr, but every now and then people stop posting, or I just like to find even more people to follow. Im looking for new inspiration on the interwebs.

What artists, photographers, models, musicians do you follow on here that inspire you?

THE GREATEST: AT THIS TIME; I WONT RESPOND OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY MORE NEGATIVE COMMUNICATION REGARDING ASHKAHN OR URBAN OUTITTERS

though i strongly appreciate the immense support and understanding, i’m writing in hopes that this mess will subside.

early this morning i communicated with ashkahn directly and i hope you’re glad to hear that the card has been pulled from urban and ashkahns site – it will no longer go into…

Acknowledgement of restitution is as important as voicing outrage. I am very glad that Mallory has found a resolution that makes her happy. Go internet justice!!!

THE GREATEST: AT THIS TIME; I WONT RESPOND OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY MORE NEGATIVE COMMUNICATION REGARDING ASHKAHN OR URBAN OUTITTERS

Urban shame on you guys for stealing, acknowledging it stolen, and then continuing to sell art from an aspiring artist. Urban, at least likes to imply, that they support emerging artists. Your claim that you’re not responsible because you thought you were purchasing it form an emerging artist, is child like passing of the buck. To support art meant SUPPORTING THE RIGHT ARTIST! You guys purchased stolen art, your a big company and now its time to take responsibility and make it right like adults. I realize that to you this not your problem that its Ashkahn’s problem, and maybe legally its not your problem, but in a day in age where corporations seem to define their rules by what they can get away with, be better than that and seek to make amends to Mallory.

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen this tweet from me: 

The above photo is what I was referencing. A very good friend of mine and independent artist, Mallory, created this work of art and was ripped off completely by this guy, Ashkahn. Ashkahn took Mallory’s design and sold it as his own to Urban Outfitters. This isn’t the first time Ashkahn has done this and he has even offered Mallory proceeds of his sales if she agreed to delete her posts and stop complaining. 

Today Urban Outfitters posted the above photo on Instagram and when Mallory’s followers saw what had been done, they took action commenting on the photo attempting to get Urban’s attention. Tonight, when going back to the photo, Urban had deleted ALL of the comments referring to Mallory’s art. As a consumer, I am outraged and shoked they would do such a thing and assume no one would notice.

This has been done time and time again and nothing will be resolved unless we continue to make noise. Credit where credit is due. 

Send a complaint.

Comment on the photo.
