Mickey 07 BAST

Most people like it because they are told that it is good, and know they will get return on their investment. End of story.

If consensus among high art people was that this print was a complete piece of fudge and was selling for $15, noone would like it.

I don't think its a terrible print, just not worth the money. Everyone is clamoring for the next Warhol.

i LIKE this print just because it pisses piemel and ryan off.

I don't quite get the image and why there are eyes all over mickeys face or why he has a dollar thing on his tongue?? Is it some kind of dig at disney for selling out?? Did his mum sell off his favourite mickey mouse toy when he was little and now this psychological scarring has manifested itself with an adult resentment of disney characters?? anyone??

I think that it represents the US's insertion of globally recognized icons to grab money from all over the world. The use of multiple eyes represents the overwhelming nature of this strategy, as in, we are always vigilant for opportunities where we can exploit through these icons.

Um, yes, that's it.

do us all a favor and go have a drink at your favorite watering hole. Oh, that's right, it went out of business.

Maybe you can find another bar that servers to A-holes. And while you're there....look around and see all the other folks enjoying a nice tasty smoke....they inahle, ooh it tastes so f#cking good. I bet you really wish you could have a smoke right now....go ahead, you know you want one. Light one up.

dude.. the first 2 weeks are the worst. You don't wanna die a slow, painful wheezy, cancer riddled blood spewing death. Smoking is the one thing guarunteed to end your life in some slow horrific painful way..

believe it or not but the old watering hole is re-opening again

happy days are here again!

come over next year to see a show at the new sweetwater and see that I am not an asshole at all... just come over that way to people who have no clue wha they are talkign about when it comes to printing ethics and what goes on in posterland

pabst!

Yeah anyone who thinks this is fudge, but Pollock is brilliant has some splainin' to do as well. I am not a fan of either.

I don't like it and it seems like way too much money for something that fugly, but that is just my opinion. Some people like it, so that's cool, some like olives and they make me ill. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and their own sense of taste. If you don't like it, you don't need to buy it. I am a little disturbed at how Mickey Mouse is portrayed in this print. Is nothing sacred anymore?? What's next, Jesus on the cross wearing an ipod??
