its shocking that Tim Doyle is after a cash grab and masks it up by saying I want more people to own my art, pathetic.
Well, to be fair- I want to do both. I like as many people as possible to own my artwork, and I want to maximize my income to continue to live my lifestyle. We live in a capitalist society, and I took no vow of poverty when I decided to make a living as an artist.

Like members of this group say, why not come up with more original content instead of reprinting.
I do both. Last year I did over 200 watercolor commissions for people. It was a lot of fun.

Further, I used to be in touch with Tim and bought a lot of stuff from him directly and today when I email, DM, FB message him about this he doesn't even have the balls to reply.
Honestly? If you want to get in to it- you messaged me all the time, much more than any collector I ever had in the past, so I just stopped replying. My job isn't answering dm's from people on my FB page. If you have a customer service issue, I have people to answer those emails. My time is my own.

Does this mean that every print spoke art or hashimoto contemporary sells may just be reprinted anytime in any quantities based on the demand?
While I do work with Spoke occasionally, they have nothing to do with my decision to reprint my work, nor do they have a financial stake in the work I release on Nakatomi. Any issue you have with me on this, should not involve them at all.
I am truly sorry that I offended you, but when it comes to deciding between being able to make a living as I choose, or keeping a single customer happy... I'm going to choose the former.
