Due to popular demand, Joe Black is releasing a reworked version of his “No More Heroes” triptych. www.mrjoeblack.com/Am I the only one who is pissed off? I don't spend nearly £700 on three limited editions of 12 by what I would call an unestablished artist only for them to be re-released a year later in editions of 7 with the only difference being a dollop of gold leaf. I've had nothing but pleasurable experiences with Joe Black but for me, this latest move kills them. |

Got to agree with you there. Liked his work though first time I had seen.
Think it is very naughty. Especially as the Gold leaf is not exactly a complete change but just a cross and dollop as you say.
Similar conversation going on about the Eine single canvass's although I am not so put off there but this is out of order in my opinion. You should send him a note on it.

Glad to hear you guys were pissed when you saw this. He seems like a nice guy and I have a few of his prints, but to re-release a previous edition at a smaller edition size with minor changes is like a slap in the face!

Thats a proper piss take, its hardly iconic, its hardly changed much, and its just a bit of quick money.
Pricey print for a relatively unknown graphic designer.

It is a real shame isoross, I agree with both how brill Joe Black has been and how weak it is to release the rework. On a positive note his 'Made in China' og is insane. Made up of 5500 toy soldiers.  |

Relieved to hear I'm not the only one.
Received a few PM's from disgruntled owners too.
It's wrong on so many levels.
Besides the immorality from a limited edition point of view, call me old fashioned but I see buying any form of art as patronage. To support and encourage an artist to move forward.
This is just plain insulting.

That looks amazing! I asked for a background story but I then clicked on blacks website in the OP and saw it...wow. |

Yep, think I might be throwing my toys out of the pram as well. I must admit to really liking them though. Email him and ask for a partial refund, he will probably tell you to ''go forth'' but I'd be tempted to give it a shot.

Adrian there is actually a very cool guy to have a chat with ;-) Thanks for the tip, nearly missed that one ;-) |
