New RETNA print., by dreadnatty on Jan 24, 2015 16:09:14 GMT 1, It's kinda interesting to learn about this at the same time I was on the other thread about cope2. How many of you guys get repulsed by artists who are rude and uncouth, and stop supporting them altogether? I know i will.

The way the last drop was handled was just shameful. |

New RETNA print., by Deleted on Jan 24, 2015 17:52:17 GMT 1, Having had worked with retna about 2 yrs back it was indirect meaning I wasn't the point if contact but assisting with the person in charge it was a nightmare he seems to be very poorly educated or maybe I'm wrong and his thug demeanoer just implys as much.
He is beligerant and acts out like a 14 yr old when he feels his art, style, or street cred is insulted and he is quite the heavy drinker and I don't mean he can knock back a couple of pints when at the local pub I mean he drinks on a day to day basis basically bit it's not my place to "spread" rumors or imply that he us an alcholic etc.. I'm just expressing many very obvious observations and as far as the beating of his GF, a while back there was a vmail floating around that someone placed online lasting about 3:43 where he was berating a woman writhing nothing less then the finest is deragotory female slurs.
So although I enjoy the aesthic of his art it does not allow me to seperate the two, there is no excuse for this behavior regardless of talent etc..
And 13press boy what a sham have the pieces from the last release Are still sitting on eBay coming directly from them or the clown operating posters and prints blog!
Too each his own on this one fellas

New RETNA print., by sakyamuni on Jan 24, 2015 20:15:44 GMT 1, darwin, this is donald soffer,
This is wht wikipedia says about this "bad boy" hanging with "street artist" Retna.
After opening his first shopping center, South Hills Village, in Pittsburgh and then developing Monroeville Mall, Donald Soffer arrived in South Florida and saw the potential for development. In 1967, along with partner Eddie Lewis of Oxford Development Co., he purchased 785 acres (3.18 km2) of submerged and undeveloped swamp and marshland facing the Intracoastal Waterway in North Dade County.
During the next 40 years, with their initial vision sketched on a cocktail napkin, Soffer and Lewis built that land into what is now the City of Aventura. They developed Turnberry Isle Resort and Country Club, Aventura Mall, thousands of residential units and numerous office buildings. Aventura is now a self-contained city, known as a โCity of Excellence,โ revolving around golf courses, lakes, bike and exercise paths and exclusive condominiums, hotels, shopping centers, office buildings, banks and more."
Doesn't sound rough around the edge to me...

I think he's a dip s**t for beigng a drunk, thug, women beater.
People gave him some flack for the crappy drop on the first 13Press drop and he went full retard in a reply.
The difference is that him and his crew think they are thugs for trying to clean up a few hundred K, not paying taxes, and holding back inventory to try to drive up secondary market prices.
The two white guys in that pic that buy his work are thugs because they clean up a few million / 10's of millions by offloading waterland protections rights during their development projects to a waterland credit shelters that tripple sell inventory.
That being said, keep churning out the college fund pieces Retna, my little girl dreams of being a doctor and that s**t is expensive.

He was arrested two weeks ago at a restaurant in LA for being wasted and slapping a paparazzi photographer.
Here is a link to a video...
m.tmz.com/#Article/2015/02/10/artist-rentna-arrested-slap-photographer-brittny-gastineau
At the end he yells at the cops "I'm a U.S. Government!!!"
I thought I was a government once.

Plus violence towards women and photographers makes supporting him even less appealing. But don't think it will make a difference from what I saw recently his originals are up there in price.
