Flippability?

Edit: Oh, and some of his work include graffitic imagery.

Could not agree more. This sterile accusation also applies to people making "not real music" and "not real movies" on computers...anyone who has spent a few minutes on a photo/video/music editing software will immediately see how difficult it is to master the tool and create with it.

However I see no artistic process or vision in this guy's work (which is also true of quite a few other folks much loved on here), I just see someone putting tattoos on images that were already artistic and/or iconic.

I would see his stuff more at it's place as a cheap poster sold on Portobello road or Brick Lane, but hey what do I know

I think that JJs work is a bit of a mixed bag. Some is fantastic and some is really not. I'm really not liking these releases very much as they just look cheap. I have for a few reasons thinned my JJ collection down a fair bit (mainly because I am in the middle of buying a property and releasing the value is somewhat useful at this time in my life). However, I am left with a few key pieces that I love like his screen printed stamps and the wizard of Oz which is just so wall friendly and incredibly detailed and fun. Otherwise I have a delorean which I do really like but probably would let go.

The hate is strong on here, and the people who are apparently pro JJ often don't put their literacy skills to much use in defense in any thread where there is an attack and resort to insults does not really help.

There really does need to be a bit of 'live and let live' on here and every time there is a JJ thread the same clowns come and say the same things and don't leAve those who are interested or have something new to add to discuss.

I'm hoping the 'wanted' thread is still being ignored.

What if there is no conspiracy and the people posting really are, like myself fans of his work. Granted the images that this thread is about are really nowhere near as good as some of his others.and personally I don't buy these

Think of him as a gateway artist, since buying my first piece by jj I have gone on to really diversify my collection and being here has opened my eyes to a world of new and exciting pieces that I now either own or aspire to by many different artists.

I appreciate that you don't like his work for whatever reasons but you really don't need to keep pushing the point in every jj thread. The only way it will go away for you is if you ignore it, if the art has no validity then the fans will either dissappear or dwindle in not much time.

Maybe this is like repressed homosexuality, you over hate what it is that you really want to be?

(Take that lightly as it is meant as a joke)

And I will continue to pull you up on it... ;-)

The more that you fear us the bigger we get.

I remember when CGI was in its infancy. Model makers and special effects artists were complaining that CGI looked s**t and was nowhere near as good as a decent model. The first couple of seasons of Babylon 5 looked pretty ropey, but Jurassic World looks awesome.

My point is, it's surprising the things you remember when you're drunk.

Anyway, my other point is, I don't really care how the art is made. It can be paint, charcoal, clay, neon, ink, iron, glass, bodily fluids, elephant dung or pixels. If the image is good, it's good. If it's rubbish, it's rubbish. An artist can make a good image among many bad. Or a bad image among many good. Judge each piece on its own merit. Unless the artist is a wanker. Then you have to bring your conscience into things. But sometimes the pull of potential investment can overpower morality and the forces of light. Am I back to Babylon 5 again?

Anyway, people have been arguing for years about what constitutes "real" art, but (in my opinion), it's better to ask whether it's "good" art. Basically, if you like it, you like it. But you should like it. Don't buy it because you're told to or because it's a good investment. And don't buy art because you think it'll impress the opposite (or same) sex. It never does. They just get bored and want to leave after 2 hours.

Don't force your art onto others. There's enough suffering in this world. If you love it, then love it. It shouldn't need financial or intellectual back-up support. It should stimulate a part of your brain. Not your wallet. Rarely your p***s or va***a, but it can happen.

Just like art because you like it. Or dislike it because you dislike it. Everything else is kinda bulls**t.

Isn't it great that we can talk about this stuff?

I'm drunk. I'm gonna delete this post in about 20 minutes.

Thanks for listening.

EdiT: And I f**king LOVE models, man. I've made Starfurys. And I KNOW I'm making models, based on CGI images, but I still prefer the models, but I know that the CGI led to something that I enjoyed. Models. Maybe photoshop can be a good thing. Like an ambulance. But an ambulance is useless without a decent paramedic to drive it.

Edit: Starfuries?

EditL And don't nobody judge me! I got paid to hang out with models.

Quoting this for you to read tomorrow.

Dr Plip I'm crying hahahahahanaha

I own nothing from JJ Adams.
I don't know much about JJ Adams.
I am not a member of the JJ Adams HYPE train.
I wouldn't mind hanging this JJ Adams on my wall:

I am disappointed in many members on this thread.

'Things are getting desperate when the boys can't be men.'
T.AMOS

Dude, my taste in art that I purchase is expansive.
I'm not in this for the payout. I buy what I like.

On point...
I don't judge. You don't see me commenting in the negative on here about the peeps who pick up Stik, Maya H, Hirst, etc......
I couldn't care less about others interest.
Why should you care about mine?

Honestly.
Live and let live.

I'll meet you there!

has anyone got a link to where these are released?

No but have some john doe pieces if that helps?

Fire is the harshest critic. Yet paradoxically, it both loves and hates all art.

(Except for shit made out of water)
