Nara Versus W.Lab

File this under “ridiculous.” We all know the art of Yoshitomo Nara (I’m a longtime fan), and over the years there have certainly been plenty of cases of Nara pakkuri (stealing/copying) — I myself was fooled by the art on the Fukigen bottle back in 2003. Well, there’s been another case, this time by Korean cosmetics brand W.Lab — as pictured, right — and following Nara’s pursuit, the Korean company is claiming they have done no copying, and are suing Nara in return! ArtAsiaPacific has all the details. Via Johnny Strategy.
