facefirst Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) 9 minutes ago, GnR Chris said: Well, dude, obviously. I only know the information you yourself have provided, then Margott dropping the email exchange that elaborated on your dealings with Fernando. But you trashed Fernando and the band members without cause, even if Global is the one who backed out on a previous verbal agreement. But the emails, bro ... it certainly looks like you were gonna charge those same aftermarket prices to make upwards of $60k despite you telling us you want the fans to enjoy your artwork at a reasonable cost. And again, there is nothing wrong with you selling your artwork that you slaved over for whatever price you deem. But don't come here trying to garner sympathy by lying about how you want us all to have APs and not be robbed. You're accusing Duff, Axl, and Slash of "selling out" but then you're turning around and trying to make money too. I don’t want sympathy at all. Again, I give zero shits what people think. I just wanted it out there for other artists to be aware of. It’s interesting that after I brought this stuff to light that I was hit up by a bunch of artists and a couple ex-employees of Global basically solidifying the things I’ve said. 1 minute ago, ZoSoRose said: Of course my thoughts and opinions mean nothing to you, as you took someone else’s design as your own How much were you paid for that one, bud? Far from your bud. You’re also clueless. But please, go on. You’re an armchair designer on a fan forum. You’re clown shoes.

That is simply not true, you posted here because you wanted sympathy and cared about what we think since you presented certain info to mold our opinions Sorry it was a bad deal for you. I’ve repeatedly said I think you are talented and I enjoy your work (even the plagiarized poster), but you definitely have not been the guardian angel you have been painting yourself as 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just showing what a shit company Global is and how Fernando is totally cool with that because I (gasp!!) said Axl needs vocal lessons. Prove me wrong on that assertion.

You think you got one over on me or that I’m going to apologize. Fuck that noise. Again, your thoughts on my work mean zero to me. See, misinformed. I did the canning. But yeah, you know all the intricacies of merch design and the music industry. Please tell me more white hot insider info. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could show you tons of art that has similar concepts and even similar execution yet were created totally separate of each other. I love that you understand all thing art related. You should stick to being a GNR fanboi. The art critic role doesn’t look good on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow what a badass, those rock stars who don’t even know you exist totally read your respectful tweet and got constructive criticism. Very professional. “bUt ThEy WeRe BaDaSs AnTi EsTaBlIShMeNt RoCk StArZ!” They have been millionaires for 30 years who are now operating an entity worth hundreds of millions. Sorry, bud, you just come across as a whiny, disrespectful, unprofessional jerk Maybe you were underpaid. Most of us are or have been. You agreed to the job, it didn’t pan off.

Popular Post RussTCB Posted August 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2021 @facefirstyou've made the following things clear: You're mad at Global You're mad at GN'R You don't give a shit what GN'R fans think So why are you still here?

Gordon Comstock Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Are you guys really still arguing over this? Yea there's clearly some similarities but they're hardly 'the same'. I never thought that GNR litho was all that original, there's been plenty of bands/artists who've used broken instruments in their artwork over the years, but it's still a cool litho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando cared enough to reach out, right? But at some point (by that point?) you already showed how unprofessional you were with petty insults on band members. At that point, I don't blame Fernando if he thought, "fuck this guy." I wouldn't want to work with someone like that either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ZoSoRose Posted August 25, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Also, wait to gatekeep. Not all GNR fans only like the band. I love art. No, I’m not an expert, but I’ve enjoyed taking art history courses in college and love museums. Either way, who gives a shit, I have something called eyes and that is all anyone needs to see they are the same fucking poster Edited August 25, 2021 by ZoSoRose 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very cool litho. I just doubt the similarities were out of thin air. Same colors, similar backgrounds, stylized strings, stickers, came out at a similar time, etc its not the worst crime, artists “borrow” all the time, it’s just combined with everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
