I’m getting the feeling he really doesn’t like Anish. Every page I’ve looked at has Anish mentioned. The anal apocalypse is especially for him. The glow in the dark pigment is free, if you can prove that you are associated with him to share the light.
The company that makes the paint version of VantaBlack licensed it only to one guy to use, the art community felt that was unfair. Thus the pink, and I think a new black etc.etc.
But first you must face the Captcha test to prove that you are, in fact, not Anish Kapoor.
Meanwhile Kapoor, not using a VPN - “Curses! Foiled again!”
EDIT:
Has this ever happened to you? That’s why I use AnishKapoorVPN, you are just a few clicks away from being able to jump through so many hurdles it’ll make your head spin.

Oh wow, what a huge memory triggered! The total prioritization of whiz-bang on that site.
Shot me back to 1998(?ish?) where I met an absolutely amazing artist who started with street and scene art, huge airbrushed murals, and moved into digital media. He was an absolutely drug-addled, unprofessional lunatic. But also the best, if you could ever as the creative lead, draw a circle around him. We made a lot of games that were very bog-standard mechanically, but he took the creative design to places nobody had been in terms of visual game design. I love/hated him and I affectionately called him Mad Dog and it stuck at work lol
This website reminded me of his personal side project Dr Wash. I remember him showing off his site to me, which at the time was truly a marvel of what could be done artistically on the Web. After browsing every section and page, I was left with one question to him: What is it you actually do or sell?? I meant it! lol
This memory hit me when it took me 30 seconds of mystery meat navigation, then no-scrollbar but need to infini-scroll down to hopefully find textual information that actually says something. Etc. Some things never change haha
I see this posted a lot and I get the feeling that this guy just makes a big deal about the other guy being an asshole so he can make money for himself. He seems like just as big of an asshole haha
Who knows. It’s harmless drama if it’s a marketing gimmick, or they could just be rivals playing off each other. Childish, sure, but spite can be motivating — the guy does make great quality products.
Like James Randi and Uri Geller. Randi made a career out of debunking snake oil salesfolks but there was no question about how much he despised Geller.
Has his operation gotten any more reliable? I thought about getting some of the powders to put in resin but there were so many stories of people waiting months and then getting ghosted.
He made a competing black that anyone can buy, too.

Do they have some big feud going on?

does anyone like Anish Kapoor?
Don’t forget that he paid for and directed a music video specifically to make fun of Kapoor. It’s called “Bean Boy.”

Disaster of a website. Just why?
I don’t know how to answer that question. Because of the tides? Because of a love of dance? Because they knew you were coming?
it forces a login just to browse it - I hope it’s unintentional
I think it’s a region thing, I wasn’t blocked. Someone here posted a screenshot for those who can’t get in.
I can’t see specifics of what they sell without “signing in”? Fuck that.
Mobile looks fine enough
Really? I just get an immediate login wall on mobile.
Ya here it is in part
Same here, it launches me into a “how do you want to login” page
That’s weird. I just get the homepage

Yeah his paint is good. I got the black though and it’s just a matt black lol. Maybe a little darker than some other matt blacks.
The pinkest pink sure seems pink but there could be a pinker pink how do you measure pinkness?
I’m more of a hot pink person myself. I would try the hottest pink for sure.
