Each to their own, but why even comment here, if you're not liking Martin's work?

The last thing I'd do is pop into another artist's thread, and begin to say their work is sheit. But that's just me.

I agree with you - IF (note that is a big if) - this were a Martin Whatson Fanboy Site. Then that would be trolling. But this is not a MWFS.

The comments seem to be about hype, business practices and disappointing those that wanted this, of which I imagine a number have been early supporters that now feel left out.

The trashing probably gained its largest voice with the uninspired plagiarized En Pointe, which he brought on himself. This particularly release, hung over a couch or similar would no doubt look great and elicit admirable comments from friends and family, but taken in context by those of us with some knowledge also seems too easy.

One would expect an artist of this type in this field to grow and push the envelope. Does he have it in him?

I'm interested to see if this blend of screen print, hand finishing and giclee can take him somewhere. I would be even more impressed if the giclees were fashioned after oil or acrylic paintings hat he personally did. That would demonstrate a mastery of techniques and pushing the envelope of mixed media. I would like to see a style change or development, especially since it's obvious that MW had talent.

You will not see him do anything original. He will flog tagging to death until he fades away into obscurity as Nick Walker Jr.

Why have you bought so many of his prints then Eddy?

I just bought the new one to flip on Ebay. I think I'll buy a new phone with the profits.

I won't be dealing with GP again.. The blokes dam right rude and has no customer service.

[The Fool]

i find it humorous that the same 5-10 people post on the forum and cry after every GP release about how there are sketchy things going on because they didn't score. They then have to go on and point out how there are some posted on ebay (FYI - this happens with any valuable drop). Finally - posting one of my favorites, saying that obviously no one could have bought it because no one is posting that they scored. I mean seriously do you expect every single person who bought one to come and post +1!!!!!! like an entitled p*ick after every release.

Maybe those 5-10 people just blow at scoring prints, have bad internet, etc... I've missed out on a ton of prints - I've also scored on a ton of prints. s**t happens - get over it, don't need to come and cry after every release. It gets really old.

For someone who contributes basically nothing to this forum, maybe you shouldn't be complaining so much about what active members do.

[stelio]

But what does that say about this fourm if all the "active" memebrs are just talking shit because of their since of entitlement? Boo hoo, they didnt get what they wanted to flip or someone said something mean to me. To be Frank, what does that say about you to just attack someone because they have 1 star. He made a valid point and you defend the people shitting on a gallery because they didnt their way?

This place is worse than Expressobeans it seems

If people want this place to be better, than they should be a part of the change they want to see. If they don't like what people post, they should post better things. And if they choose to be a silent lurker, then they've got no right to complain. It's not about stars or no stars. Either be a part of the community, or don't complain it's not to your liking IMO.

[stelio]

The guy he called out has a therad where he leaves out an email trying to smear GP. Clearly that fourm member is omitting part the story to make GP look bad and is now being called out for it. I think any fourm member should have a right to call people on thier BS.

Woof - thank you for also pointing out another thing I love about this forum, shitting on people with a low post count - I forgot about that one! I find it humurous you are defending the people on the forum who whine and post the same stuff after every drop, but want me to post something constructive.

If you don't like the forum so much, why stick around?

I honestly don't get it. If you think it's so bad, why not post and try to make it better? Maybe start a new topic of discussion. Because you haven't tried to do that, not once, in the three years that you've been a member. So maybe the problem with the forum is as much with people that contribute nothing expect complaints and "glwts" posts.

What do you think I'm doing lol - all I did was tell the complainers to chill because it's the sames**t different drop. I've posted more on the forum in the past few months than I have in the past few years.

Maybe one day I will reach an almighty status of 5 star active forum member and then my comments will be worthy.

PS - you are telling me I need to start a new topic of discussion, looking at the threads you've started I'd say almost 2 of the 3 pages are all for sale threads - amazing topics there. Also when have I ever posted "glwts"? Get off your high horse.

[Winks]

Reading the posts, they are about being told by email that a basket was in place when it was not.
I said fair do's in missing out but just thought bearing in mind previous GP issues this should have been resolved prior to the drop.
GP has since stated that Shopify had told him incorrectly which is fine.
I do like the way that GP comes on here to give his side. It is a tough call making everybody happy but the most anyone can expect is fair play and clarity.
I for one was well over it days ago.

The glwts comment was a general comment, not specific to you.

As far as my threads go, even if your hyperbolic estimate was correct, that would still mean that a third of the threads I've posted are non sale threads that do start conversations. Versus your 0 threads. But yes, thank you for all you bring to the forum, it's surely better thanks to your contributions.
