I guess I'm nuts. I also think it's brilliant. "Art" should sometimes make you stop and think and say "what the f#%*?". Invader has achieved with this exactly what he wanted to achieve. It's very Warhol-ian of him actually.

Would be a killer print, but the OG is a tough sell for me.

While I sort-of agree with you on the "Art" should sometimes make you stop and think and say "what the f#%*?".....but, i have to say that this is a fuccking waffle. An infant could tear apart a waffle and do this. But to charge $500? People are stupid to purchase this. Yes, i said it.
Also, how do you know that Invader wanted to achieve this? How do you know he's not at home laughing his fukcing ass off with a pile of cash, saying "people will buy anything"....

IMO this is not art.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

Because he stole the $500 from you and didn't let consumer decide if they wanted to make the purchase or not :roll:

Somehow this now decreases any happy thoughts I have for Mr. Space Invader. Next thing you know some french gentleman will be be paying others to release art under his name!

I like my waffle and it will happily hang in my kitchen. :)

(actually it might have to stand in my kitchen now that I think about it!)
