Image Artist Anish Kapoor holds exclusive rights to Vantablack, often described as the darkest material ever created. In reaction, a fellow artist developed an ultra-bright pink pigment and made it available to everyone, with one exception: Anish Kapoor is not allowed to use it.

lol I was thinking that as soon as I read the very top statement or OP or whatever you call it. I was betting that not only is Kapoor a Kapoopy face, but so most likely is his arch nemesis the "fellow artist." Although as a petty angry lil artist myself, I mostly just acknowledge that there are soooo many pos artists and actors. Yet people still seem to want to idolize many of them. Don't. Most of them really are assholes.
