for those who don't know:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Wool
Christopher Wool (b.1955, Chicago) is an American artist residing in New York City.[1] Ken Johnson, writing in The New York Times, said, "Christopher Wool made some of the punchiest paintings of the 1980's and 90's: big, signlike word pictures that delivered gnomic, vaguely alarming messages.

I thought he was known as "The Hoff" and mainly painted blondes in red bikini's bouncing down a beach shouting 'go on get your Winkel out' to blokes drowning off muscle beach.

My first thought was EINE, and I know of Wool. MBW probably doesn't.
No wait, my FIRST thought was...'is this a joke?'

Mr Brainwash "Keep Creating" Print - EINE Style?, by Cedric Mnich on Apr 7, 2011 15:34:21 GMT 1, Positive point about MBW is it sometimes help some of us (including me) discover or learn about famous artists we should know. I'm happy to discover Wool today. I guess Eine was influenced by him obviously but Eine was clever enough to bring something new (street work, different typos, color...).
And now knowing about Wool's work makes MBW's work even less interesting than ever. Sad.
But good for him he'll make an easy 25 grand in 1 mn again :-)

The arguments of who did what first is quite funny though, you can go on and on about who started doing what. I understand some from both sides and I actually met someone this week that takes photos like Slinkachu. I am a fan of Slinkachus work, but the more I saw this other photographers I started to like the messages behind his even more.

same thing here...
my problem with MBW is that I've seen Exit before I knew of him, and no matter what he does I just cant look at it as something valuable.. but something tells me that even if I didnt know the story, his work just wouldn't do it for me.. especially not the last 2 prints I've seen from him...

Also will i have to hover at a keyboard on its release?, havent got any of that software stuff for releases.

This is NOT the MBW print to make a profit from.
Don't bother, you may have to let it go for less than cost.
You should pass.

He offered me a print of that fisher price elvis, told me it was ยฃ400 I took one look at it and thought this guy can't be serious... but here we are years later, 1 deleted account later( ironically for mbw comments), talking about this fool. 'life is beautiful' It depresses me the way art is going. such a blatant rip off but thats always been thiery's thing.

Coincidence, but I doubt that idea was taken by MBW's team. It was probably just MBW saying "It needs more POP!".
