Joe Burrow's Cigar-Smoking Canvas Prints Spark Controversy
Art or Disrespect?
Independent Artists and Designers Weigh In
WEB High quality Joe Burrow Smoking Cigar inspired canvas prints by independent artists and designers from around the world have sparked a debate within the art community.
Jordan Spector, a local artist who gained fame for his mural of Burrow, has been selling prints of his work on Etsy. However, some have criticized the prints as disrespectful to Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
One critic, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, "I think it's in poor taste to sell merchandise with Burrow's likeness without his permission. He's a role model for young people, and this kind of imagery sends the wrong message." H
Spector defended his art, saying, "It's a celebration of Burrow's iconic moment. I'm not trying to disrespect him or the Bengals. I'm just trying to share my art with the world."
The debate is expected to continue as the popularity of the prints grows. It remains to be seen whether Burrow or the Bengals will take any action against Spector or other artists who sell similar merchandise.
