The Art Police, by yoyosh on Feb 2, 2015 15:12:24 GMT 1, So I've noticed a few members on the forum dealing with something that I deal with a LOT...
My wife's approval/disapproval of my choices in art dictates what goes on our walls, what goes on the walls of my office, or what goes on the Art For Sale forum/eBay.
Post up your pics/stories of art you were excited to bring home only to have to send it to another home!
I actually stood in line to buy the Faile at Art Alliance and also picked up this one as I loved it in person. The Warden didn't...

The Art Police, by Deleted on Feb 2, 2015 15:29:54 GMT 1, Knew that D*face would have some gf/wife problems in the art collector world. I tend to buy art that probably will pass the gf test anyway; mostly so I don't get attached to things that'll eventually go out the door. Also it's good to not have art that scares girls when they come over.
things that i've wanted but knew wouldn't fly for the femmes?
-almost everything by d*face
-almost everything by nychos
-banksy napalm (although this is happening no matter what, will hang it in my bathroom if necessary)
-sexy faile chicks
-half of Bast's portfolio
-jamie hewlett art (seems to scare a strange amount of women, real shame)
-PEZ/PHLEGM (something about it not being smooth or really static)
-sandra chevrier, if the girl is hotter than they are

She has never taken to my RAE Jug print and keeps dropping hints that it's time for it to come down off the wall!

The Art Police, by sparky999 on Feb 2, 2015 16:18:52 GMT 1, The best one I've had so far is showing her Bisser's first screen print Werewolf she said she hated it so a month or two later I stuck it up on eBay and she said 'why are you selling that one, I love it - it looks like he Is trying to eat the moon' so it's now at the framers!
She is pretty good most of the time if she doesn't like something it normally goes up in my office rather than the rest of the house but our walls are full now so she is trying to encourage a one in one out philosophy at the moment so having to be a little more subtle with my purchases right now.

The Art Police, by maxf on Feb 2, 2015 17:51:33 GMT 1, The trick is every now and again to suggest something that will never be approved - Kate Moss holding a bunny and that kind of thing.
Then for the next few months everything seems tame and can go on the wall.
Also - don't forget to tell her how much that crappy print of a monkey she wouldn't let you buy is worth now.

Funny enough my significant other hated my Bisser werewolf too but now is looking forward to its framing.
I've failed miserably with anything by Sweet Toof. Would like a Neon Vapours.
She hates the Snik girls.

I've got a dface "suck face" waiting to go to the framer. She hates that but it's going on the wall. She can learn to love it. She even got my mum involved when we were all out and asked her to "look at this awful print he's bought". Back fired. My mum said she really liked it haha

Hiding marital assets is a big no no in d-court. |

I wouldn't want anything that depicts a monster who killed 5 children (youngest 10) on my wall.
Does that explain or are you as simple as your comment suggests?
