Good Art? or Shock wanabe?

[codenothing]

So yea,
Ive decided its a lot more trouble than its worth to even debate this. The artist I was talking about sure as hell isnt going to change, and the people who love him will blissfully follow him into the most cliche depths of empty pointless art.

Have a nice day! Im gona stop wasting my energy on this.

i think this thread puts you in a much worse light than anything in that dude's sketchbook.

so he has some graphic work. big deal? it's hilarious that you go on about how negative imagery like his is so 'derivative'... when the majority off this forum is nothing but derivative...ness... oh zombies and robots and boobies wow amazing...

i may not like all his work, but i admire his willingness to experiment and try different things.

go rent irreversible and call it a day.

[DavePalumbo]

damn it, now I just want to know who it is

[kev ferrara]

Must be Wanimal, right?

Wanimal can be hated, but he can't be denied. My personal take on him is just to encourage his better angels.

[kingshaj]

if it is Wanimal ,

i second Chumps and Kev's comments:
Especially as he relates to CA

Wanimal is what this industry needs. it will be an outsider like him that comes up with the next ALIEN that we all copy and dilute for the next 30 years.

not the gasmask crowd nor the phil hale-imitators
( both of which i have been guilty of..lol)

Prude rabble.

Code nothing:
in going through Wanimals SB again today,

i realy think your later comments to him crossed an ethical line
(although im Sure wanimal love it)

i think there is an unwritten rule here not to blast artists within their personal Sketchbooks, while you made some interesting points,

calling him "lame" and a "wannabe" in his SB is uncool.

this is only my opinion

Good Art?
I don't know. When I was at the annual exhibition at the Academy of Visual Arts in Munich some months ago, I saw lot's of things that would be considered porn. But I really wonder if they would let Wanimal exhibit (the porn stuff etc.), if he was a student there.
Well, I understand that you are mad, because he doesn't seem to contribute to the community and doesn't answer most of the comments/questions.
But why not just ignore him? You probably aren't going to gain anything from getting mad anyway.

I don't think it's appropriate to be so openly bad mouthing somebody's artwork, if you don't like it, keep it to yourself.

However, what I do agree with is that artist in question here is just plain rude.
After all the comments and feedback he's gotten from the community, he hasn't given anything back.
The very least expectation would be response with a 'thank you', but he fails even that.

[alesoun]

Codenothing, some of his stuff is good; some is pretty formulaic. He's young, and he's trying to find (or make) his way. Yes; he is trying to shock. Erm..... Damien Hirst? Tracey Emin? (Oooh, even Salvador Dali) If he gets you annoyed, put him on the naughty step....

C'mon, smile. Life turns and the day goes on. This, too, shall pass....

I saw it before it was edited and it was indeed Wanimal.

[JonZ_]

I suppose you won't like HR Giger neither...

[Hyskoa]

Who fucking cares, obviously this wanimal fellow isn't here to improve, just to show-off. So why give a crap about what he does? This isn't fucking deviantart for asspat deliveries. Right?

[Dile_]

This thread is stupid. Why are you giving him attention like this ?
Talk to him instead, and not about him.

And I saw your post in Wanimals sketchbook earlier today, it was one of the most non-constructive retarded-trying-to-start-a-flamewar posts i've ever read!
You are either fucking jealous, or just completely obsessed by him.

Why don't you go flame everyone else who use reference and have learned to paint in a more technical way ?!

Yeah wtf. I know sooooooo many 5 star sketchbooks on hear that falls into this category .

Now go calm down, take your stupid focus from him and go draw something!

He didn't deserved your shit.

[Elwell]

Enough drama.
