When all this Pepe's fever began, I did not notice her for a while because I had become a little discouraged lately and drew very little. Therefore, when I arrived, many artists had already either painted something with Pepe (sometimes they didn't spend much effort on it, for the sake of speed) or went into denial and branded everyone as "it's not an art!" The negative was incomprehensible to me. It's kind of like sponsoring an idol. Creation of a specific new entity through art. Previously, this was done by the church, ordering paintings of biblical persons from the best artists (and not from the best either). And now a collector can do, sponsoring and promoting an utterly unexpected character. Fantastic!
