New RETNA print., by freezy on Jan 24, 2015 4:34:36 GMT 1, I know that there are many on this forum that are not fans of 13press and their RETNA print releases. That being said...they posted that they are releasing another one and it looks nice too.

New RETNA print., by Shoeless on Jan 24, 2015 5:36:49 GMT 1, I hate that I enjoy Retnas art. After last years shady releases and his own internet (and real life) drama, I really don't want to support him. I sold my provactuers print but slightly regret it...still sort of want something on the wall.
And a 13press release....looks like 2015 is starting off to be the same.

The 13 press's releases have been suspect to say the least and seem to be manufacturered to have really few primary sales with more internal flipping taking place. No different than a band scalping it's own tickets on stub hub but still shitty. It turned off some folks to his work, myself included but some of us, myself included have continued to acquire the work, in my case for financial reasons. Seems like a safe bet to hold for 6 years and sell when college come around for my little one.

I do not own art by either and I actually quite like this print but won't be buying one.

Especially now we call them artists and not vandals. The least they could do is behave accordingly.
pretty soon they will realise it takes "middle class manners" to make it onto "middle class" walls.

I am not surprised. But it's just a bit of an irony since art is mostly about refinement and culture. Not that I expect artists, esp street artists, to be all saints and don't sprout the occasional f word. But what i hear (and saw the instagram captures) on that other cope2 thread just offers a not-so-pleasant peek into what really goes on in the mind of the person. That's beyond rude - you can even sense the violence in the messages.
Can't comment too much on retna though as I didn't read the other thread. Care to link up?

The least they could do is behave accordingly. pretty soon they will realise it takes "middle class manners" to make it onto "middle class" walls. Maybe one could expect a better class from someone once they make the transition from the streets to the gallery. Interesting on how we judge people and how little information we have about them when we make that judgement

New RETNA print., by cmodart on Jan 24, 2015 14:17:18 GMT 1, Complaining about high expectations for street artists is lazy.
Defacing property, trespassing, occasional fist-fights, arrests, drug use... Yawn. Don't care. Beating up women is NOT acceptable, if that happened. Anyone that doesn't understand the difference is also not a person I would like to associate with.
And any gallery that's engaging in shady practices deserves criticism. Not sure why buyers should keep lining up for abuse?

Kidding. I don't know, but I'm tired of the "street artist isn't perfect? No way" defense of despicable behavior.
