Kurt Cobain "Kurt Was Here" artwork coffee table art book unboxing and preview video
Personally, to me, it's not. A book such as JOURNALS contained much more for a less hefty price!
Many of these "Kurt feels..." drawings were supposedly done while Kurt was in drug rehab under psychiatric care according to Charles Cross. Is it in bad taste to release "artwork" done during therapy sessions? Probably no worse than releasing his private diaries in 2002. So here we are now, entertain us.
Still, what is the point of showing the original artwork and then showing a cropped t-shirt edition of the same? Does that really need to be in a book of Cobain's artwork? Cobain did not do any of these pieces with the intent of putting them on a t-shirt. Why not scrap the t-shirt from the book and include, i don't know, MORE ARTWORK? A book about Cobain's artwork that doesn't even include a single page dedicated to the Incesticide cover painting? A major omission, but this is an art project($$$$$) after all.
Alas, I am a shameless glutton for anything Cobain, so of course I bought this anyway.
If you want this book, www.kurtcobainshop.com has copies available.

The shirts are there to take up space or what? lol, pathetic cash cow

I'm glad I saw this video. If I ordered this book, I'd be expecting a comprehensive collection of Cobain's artwork, but there are a lot of paintings, drawings, collages and scultptures that aren't in this book. They could have taken up the space filled by the t-shirts, but then I guess they couldn't release volumes two and three at some point. "Milk It" is the Cobain estate's favourite Nirvana song, after all.

I saw maybe 4 drawings , Tf was the rest what a waste of money and just a way to line Courtney pockets

I saw the tees from the website and yeah, they're all based on Kurt's drawings but I don't wanna wear that kind of tee because I feel like that waste of money and there's one tee I saw that you can do it with a pen and a shirt.
and the book oh my lord why they're self-promoting themselves in their book? Like I bought this book and you want to buy your stuff? Fuck no I don't wanna buy your shit.
Then again I want to say give props to joining Jeb foundation and splitting the shares to them but overall I don't want to buy it personally and yeah i know some of these are cool but it just drawings put in a shirt and jacket and nothing else.
Whats up with that bs minimalist empty page shit and the 'tshirt' designs that could've been represented as independent close-up concept art without being imposed onto a stockimage-esque tshirt model.
Its not like there wasnt enough of Kurts art to fill every one of those damn title pages. My god he would've hated how this has been presented. Cool idea but horrifically executed.
To any fans looking for a good journal-style Kurt Cobain book, just look for the red cover book that compiles hundreds of pages of multiple of his journals. Theres less art, but still a lot scattered around, it really is a good casual read.
Shame Poor kurt

Would have been a good idea but fuck their tees man

It's very pleasant to touch such good paper. I can even sense it on the top of my fingers and feel the smell. Some of the pictures are ok for clothes but not many. Maybe this book is a must for people who are fans of visual art but not for everyone who likes Nirvana's music. I respect Kurt's art but this book is more like an attempt to make money on everything Kurt did even if it's a line made with his hand on a piece of paper.

Skeletons and dead dolls. Cobain was trying to say something there.

What a half-assed disgrace! He made an absolutely fascinating body of work and this shows almost none of it. Not to mention the total lack of analysis and commentary by someone qualified. It's blatantly just an overpriced fashion catalogue designed to prey on fans. Disgusting.
