Me too. I had held off on buying a bunch of other things in order to buy this. I was scanning the HMP prints page while we watched Tower Heist and I had my speakers plugged in on blast, and I was camping out on the couch. Well, I fell asleep during the movie, and my gf decided to shut my laptop. Needless to say I was a bit ticked. I woke up, opened my computer at like 345-4am MST, aw it was sold out, and went from the couch to the bed without saying a word to my gf. She has no clue I was super pissed at her for shutting my laptop last night, and she never will. I'll explain to her later the situation. She loved the print just as much as me, but has no clue about computers or how to use email (no I didnt find her in the forest).

Anyone who has buyers remorse, and wants to make some cash PM me. Thx.

Some similarities - if I rember correctly the Toy original was done first. Love both though...

I agree maestrop, very similar.

Think I may like Martins better, but only when in hand can I judge Dolks piece(not that I have Whatsons either, but wouldn't mind, it looks lovely.)

From the closeups in hmp I am sure there may be a gold metallic included as one of the ten colours....

Thing is, If my memory serves me, Dolk used that style before Whatson. Whatson has many pieces that resemble other artists work.

Yes, Dolk did it first, but everbody gets inspiration from everybody - e.g. Dolks puppy love.

Both tickles my fancy...

When I see Dolk's, I'm struck with feelings/emotions and it gets me to think of his intentions and the message behind it.
When I see Whatson's, I see someone covered with graffitis, because artist thought that would look pretty.

Dolk wins.

I agree. I think it's those big blue beautiful clown eyes that just pull me in...
