way too harsh comments. I don't see people complaining when mccarthy pulls out another dino print or some poster of trees in the dark. The last wirewalker was done last year. McCarthy will use similar theme just about every 2-3 months. Now if its the detail level your complaining about, maybe you have a valid argument in terms of which artist you prefer (one admits to use computer programs as aid, one who hand draws). But bringing down the stick because of a "rehash" seems a bit hypocritical if your bringing up McCarthy in the same argument.
i'm no expert but your comments were my thoughts exactly


i love this print

I'm a pretty big McCarthy fan and I really like this guy's work too. The print seems to have better definition (better screens, maybe better technique, or maybe it's just the jpg.) than McCarthy's. I'll stop comparing. I really like this one and pulled the trigger.

1.) I love this print.

2.) Some of the early comments were absurd and, like others said, WAY too harsh. There's a theme here -- don't you get it? Or do you not understand that artists sometimes work with themes? Also, just look at the TITLE: "The Day's Last Lesson." Like, hello? And, yeah, there are now two people walking on wires rather than one. Factor in that Mark once said the first wire walker was BLIND, and I think that some of the fools on EB really should just go back to watching TV and playing video games. Why is it so easy to criticize and throw out un-based and un-founded criticism and so hard to do a little research and think for yourself? Unf'nbelievable how juvenille some of the people on here are.

Again, great print. Good work, Mark.

I like the analogy. I got excited about this one the second I saw it. I like it more without the writing at the bottom like the first one. Also, as a collector, I like images that remind me of other artists' works. It's like a story spread out over several prints and allows for great discussions about the artwork.
