Is there an art forum I can join?

This. 

@martedanielsen and Prescription Art really don't seem to approve haha

Sure, a lot of the hype is speculative, but the work is pretty interesting, and I myself even dig a lot of his stuff. I guess there will always be haters, but that's what makes art so fun.

Completely agree! Which is why i think it's nice when one-- in the flooding of copycats-- actually stands out. Like Tabby. 

Well said and I agree. Its the same old artists being whored around in peoples for sale threads. Peoples opinion are going to vary but it is important to remember that new = refreshing. In my opinion at least. Always nice to see fresh talent and artists growing from there.

The problem is tabbys work is neither new nor refreshing, perhaps to a person who's not seen a lot of prints and Photoshop / design pro (whatever) work previously, but to anyone who's been around this market place for a few years. Also the ideas are hugely underwhelmingly developed, the kid needs time and it's time in which they should be challenged to find their own voice.

This is such an insufferable take. Fine with you challenging him to create better art (i encourage it!), but art is subjective, which is why it's great. I think you're missing the point.

While I can't stand MBW, Whatson, Chevrier, Walker and some of these other folks, I also know that there's a difference between a steak dinner and Taco Bell. Both can be satisfying with context and timing.
 

No matter what your opinion is stencil art seems to be a popular pick among the casual art buyer because it looks good in peoples houses. Especially humor/witty stencil art. From personal experience any type of funny statement art is a popular purchase. So what your saying is that you think an artist like Stik and his art is not old? Kids have drawn stick figures daily for decades. IF thats not OLD then I do not know what is. I dont get it but it sells.

But Tabbys stuff is old? In terms of stencil art yes. In terms of what makes it on peoples wall, then no his work is not. Is Invader's stuff old too? I have seen lego art since I was 5 years old. Over 30 years ago. Is that old? Where on this board are we being bombarded with TONS of stencil artists? Other then banksy and now Tabby and I am sure a few others, I do not see many. Clever has always been entertaining. Not sure how it is not. Entertaining art work starts conversations with people who are NOT big into art more then not. 

Which humor art seems to be the best just for that. I would rather be able to talk to people about the art on my wall because it is clear what the message is, then bore someone with explaining the meaning behind it. What everyone seems to be forgetting is that Tabby has tons of growing to do. Banksys early stuff was nothing great. I was told by plenty collectors they remember people laughing at his art as well when he was new. The selling out comment was said because I know artists and they dont sell out. I use to have a gallery and plenty artists did not sell out even at cheap prices. So he is ahead of the game imo with people at least buying his work because they like it.

Thanks to everyone that picked up a copy earlier today. Means a lot to us and Tabby.

Trying to keep it fun and to the people that picked up one or both of his releases, hopefully you like what we have planned next.

All prints are at the space and we should have them hopefully out by the weekend.

I was able to purchase a Gray variant. Wanted blue, but gray will suffice.

You were facile and I was finding an image which wasn't, and may with some reflection have more than a slight connection to tabby

Likers gon' like.

Dislikers gon' dislike.

Arguers gon' argue.

Mehers gon' meh.

Not everyone is a hater.
