Nobody ever said that. He's a massive talent and I love him. We're not ridiculous uber fans like you but that doesn't mean we got nothing but love for Marq!jester wrote: I just cant believe people actually say Marq is not a talented artist.

Its not a question of "who cares" or not. I am going along with the thread. This is an art discussion. And the thread is, artists you don't get. I say I don't like stik, people say, well Marq sucks just because they probably like stik and they know I really enjoy Marqs work. All I was saying was I don't like stik. That's all. Not a big deal.alittle wrote:Yeah, but who cares? I like Marq, for the record.jester wrote:I know what you mean. I just cant believe people actually say Marq is not a talented artist. But hey, we all have our own opinion. And I feel just because I said I don't like STIK, people personally attacked my love of an artist. But again, I know what you mean. Everyone likes different stuff.
Hope everyone is having a good night... Nobody said that either, or even close to that. You're way too defensive about Spusta.jester wrote:people say, well Marq sucks

For me, the rarest art is the art that has both ... both beauty and a soul. Faile, mentioned here repeatedly, was an artist that I didn't get for the longest time. Much of the art wasn't pretty. It seemed unpolished and crude. Even worse, I didn't see a story or a real message. But that has changed dramatically of late. The problem wasn't the art, but my understanding of it. To be sure, I am not a fan of many of their pieces, but when Faile is right, it is very powerful, at least IMO. Sub Rosa in Black is a classic example. It arrived this morning and is very moving. Part of my reaction, and a big part, is knowing about Sub Rosa and its mission. It also helps that my first obsession, as a teenager, was collecting comic books. I love comic art, and Faile's use of that as a vehicle for their message resonates with me. My God, if I could get my hands on an It Happens Everyday I would be thrilled. My oldest daughter, who is feminist, gay, and academically brilliant, instantly connected with the message (not the art) and has given her blessing to me tracking one down. In short, it isn't the artists or the collectors that we are questioning, but ourselves and our own shortcomings. The OP used the term "get" which is very different than the term "like."Sail wrote:I don't get the need to say who you don't like. what a weird thing.
there's a lot of people who's work doesn't do it for me, for a multitude of reasons, but the idea of publicly shitting on their efforts seems really terrible.

I'm not well versed in/with Stik, but what's his background and social significance?
Also, I look to Zef for the answer to this debate; dude loves Spusta and is majorly ISO a Stik.

I think understanding begins when you ask the right questions in an art forum. Saying I don't get someone's work does not equate to not liking or bashing. Most of the time, the question comes down to why are people paying crazy money for something like that.treweman wrote:I wrote this almost three years ago.
