Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by Deleted on Nov 9, 2014 12:51:03 GMT 1, This was pretty lazy of Martin and i can completely understand the frustration of your father, its a direct copy with some tagging, the least he should have done is got in contact for permission to use the image. If he had simply changed the face there wouldnt be a copyright issue as that pose im sure has been done many times or something very similar but the fact he used the same person is what proves a direct copy. I was having a discussion with an artist whose paintings are very similar to another artist, a blatant copy imo, they were under the belief that there has to be at least 30% difference from the original or copyright isnt applicable, i have my doubts.

As I said 2 pages ago, he should deal with it before the internet does it for him.

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by thomasmer on Nov 9, 2014 15:34:55 GMT 1, Wow it's great to see that loads of people don't agree with copying someone's artwork without permission! Shame that some don't feel the same, if it were your artwork that had blatantly been copied without permission perhaps you'd feel differently.. The artist Richard Young is my dad and he's fully aware of Martins 3 pieces he's 'borrowed' from him without copy right permission from my father or the photographer (who is also aware). He has contacted both graffiti prints and Martin and if they don't come to an agreement he will be pursuing via Design and Copyright Society (DACS), the Fine Art Trade Guild and at the Royal Society for Arts (RSA) who represent him. For anyone who hasn't seen dads painting here's a link.. www.ryoung-art.com/Dancer%20at%20peace%20oil%20painting.htmIf only Martin had asked permission eh! Just out of morbid curiosity, which good soul on this board notified you of Martins crookedness?

Pretty disrespectful statement unless you have some proof so let's hear it.

I would very much doubt his dad is reading a daily website traffic report!! or watching urban art threads....I would expect he reads his email though from the site. So would pretty much expect someone sent them the images and that where it picked up from and why CY ended up here. whats not known yet and maybe Graffitti Prints can comment on where Martin created the stencil from as CY mentioned as does the artists site the photographer Barrett. Do one assumes dad painted the piece from a photo so interesting which the stencil came from eg Matins may also be a copy of the photo.
no idea but would be interested to hear Graff Prints point on this...very quiet for some one vocal on the thread recently!!

Google Analytics is pretty easy to get a report from as well, but if someone emailed the guy, so be it. bad taste and malicious IMO but to each their own.

It wasn't meant as disrespectful, it just seemed pretty convenient the timing of it all and I was just pointing out what a lot of people probably thought.
I am a fan of Martins work, but to have done this without contacting the person whose image you are using is bad on his part so I'm not trying to defend him if this is what happened (again I only know what I have seen on here, which may or may not be the full story).
I do stick by my point that this is not the right channel to get this resolved contacting Martin or GP would be the best way to sort it (which CYOUNGART says they have), and airing dirty laundry in public is rarely the best initial course of action
CYOUNGART if you are the real one sorry if it came off as disrespectful, that wasn't my intentions

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by johnnyh on Nov 9, 2014 16:51:10 GMT 1, Yep agree hxfour think it was wrong for someone to maliciously email however that doesn't make Martin any less guilty. No idea on which was used as not really looked and have not seen the photo's etc.
But not sure we should be holding a hanging just yet think should at least give Graff prints the chance to comment etc first. Eg could be they got them from a site that was royalty free etc so do think we should just slow down a little bit then see.
Also breaking copyright is not the greatest crime in the world. Pretty much all stencils come from a photo etc
So let's just let it play out I think. Although personally I think using someone else's work is quite wrong

Keep it anon and on the street
Monetarise it and enter the world of copyright and capital
You can't have it both ways if you borrow an image Im afraid
of course, MWN could buy the original now and sorta give something back to the artist?

Either way, this could and should be a big painful lesson. Especially if this artist got in touch with many of the other artists Martin has blatantly ripped off that have been posted over and over on the board. There might be nothing left.
The whole thing is really just sad and there really is no defending Martin in any rational manner.
Can't wait to see what the flippers decide... bow out and take a loss or if they will hold on and bet the prices will go up. LOL
One of my Penny pieces was supposed to be a HPM - he cut the stencils and then asked for permission but it was not given to him so it turned out to be a 1/1 and I also have the stencils. He learned his lesson quick!

Our lawyers inform us of what needs to be changed so it is not infringing on copyright/patent laws but believe me the changes are VERY minimal. I assume artwork copyrights are probably different and I don't pretend to know exactly how it works but as I said in my field it happens all the time with very very minimal changes.

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by Happy Shopper on Nov 9, 2014 20:42:56 GMT 1, Isn't the law on copyright images used in art all about altering the meaning of the image? The fair use rule... If it can be justified!?
Fairey fell fowl of it with his Obama image.. I assume he didn't change the meaning of the image enough.
It could be argued that Martin has changed it's meaning by adding the tags... But personally I don't think he has!
It's interesting though because it really focuses on the "tags" concept. Is it any more than a stylistic gimmick? Is there an artist argument for it?

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by bsimkin on Nov 9, 2014 20:59:40 GMT 1, Is En Point part of Martin's 'Unwanted Collaboration' series? Guy is on a roll. His tagging technique has gotten so good, makes you almost forget he just photocopied another artist.
