Mr. Phomer started doodling over Supreme posters with his earlier piece on Lady Gaga, released one year ago in London. Now, he has returned with an even stronger statement made on the concept of celebrity. Kate Moss was brutally 'doodled' on with severe accusations about being a thief (covering her face wielding a wad of dollar bills), an addict, a gold digger and racist in the streets of New York, all at the hands of Mr. Phomer.
Ultimately, he looks to make a statement about "hype brands and culture, and the pop culture personas," according to Phomer himself. Though this anti-consumerism attitude is adapted by many, Phomer is one of few who feel compelled to take action -- the fact that he does so through art is an added bonus.
