Nihalani's "Drop," via the artist's photostream
​Not actually made by Aakash Nihalani, clarifies the artist in an email. He refers you instead to a comment on another blog "that I think says it pretty well." Want to see the real thing? Actual recent Nihalani work, here. Anyone know who did the dirty (and, um, suspiciously derivative) work for VW in lieu of the real thing? [Earlier]

Vampire Weekend totally ripped off Aakash Nihalani(poorly) without consent or compensation. How's that for artists supporting the arts?

Wait, because they used the same medium and style, they are ripping him off? Looks to me like he's ripping the city off by using other people's real estate.
