] If i had the money to buy any of these i'd burn the money. Absolutely the quote of the week. No doubt the print release will vanish in seconds. It makes me feel quite nauseous. |

despite my feelings about the guy, i have to disagree with some of you. i think some of those are really nice, the marley is beautiful.
won't camp out overnight for a print or spend 80k on an OG, but i think there's some nice work there (whether him or his elves)

Don't think he will actually end up being there on the opening evening but if he does it could be quite a fun night ;-) His personality is the biggest reason of his success... It always puzzles me how many out there literally HATES him, how many just can't say they don't like his work but are happy to move on to their favourite artists without expressing their disgust about MBW ;-) If you don't like it just ignore him, enough hatery in the World ...

It funny how snobbery has entered the urban art scene in the last few years. We're all guilty off it.

So funny seeing how upset some people get when an Artist does well whom they don't like ;D Try and think of it as if this was in the music industry  I guess Justin Bieber is making loads of money, and I don't like his music, but why would I let it bother me? good luck to him! |

Well said. And I agree with warmgun, there is quite a bit of negativity on the forum right now. I was reading the latest VNA and they highlighted a quote by trustocorp "Mr Brainwash is like the guy in a marathon who jumps in at the last 100 yards, throws a number on his chest and declares himself the winner." I'm all for freedom of speech, but like trusto, its interesting to hear why you dislike the artist so much. |

Post by Finsbury on Sept 24, 2011 21:22:25 GMT 1
Is there anyone other than me out there who just likes a print/poster whatever for what it is rather than considering all the other negatives like who the artist is, how he goes about his work etc? I own a MBW cover girl just because i like the piece regardless. Of course i do like knowing that other pieces i own were done by the artists own hands and that has tons of cred but surely sometimes if you like a piece, you like it end of story?

Well said Finsbury (Park  )! Buy what you like and you will not go wrong. Yes, we all like to see what we bought 'rise in price', but if you did not like it in the first place, then don't moan! PS: I was at the Emirates today - a good win. We played well in the 2nd half ;D |

Perhaps the issue begins when someone says limited. A poster is generally a very quickly thought out means to promote an end, miles cheaper and can be enjoyed as an image only, sadly they ordinarily contain an advert for a show or something else, so you end up with a sales poster on your wall and eventually you have to pull it down. A limited edition print, well you kind of hope people realise its an image of merit. Some thought on the image and care in the execution should come to pass and you have a work of art on your wall which a poster can never match.
I think it's fair enough to ignore who the artist is to an extent, the problem with brainwash, it's continually churned out, with little thought other than 'what do people expect to see'. There is nothing wrong with that, many corporations do very very nicely out of providing what the general consensus of society want.
I just wonder if people get angry that Brainwach makes posters, only they lack the show date. Take his name away and they are what they are, a naked emperor.

Don't you think life would be boring and nothing would ever change, if people didn't express their dislike for certain things? instead of moaning about the haters, tell them why you like the work, it may actually make you think and learn something not only about yourself, but others views and freedom to express them.
