Agreed. Not faulting you for sticking by him SimplyRob, but Mark's dug this hole himself as far as I can tell.

I'm not against trade bait if he releases something nice but I still can't see him producing anything that I'd want to own. His stuff just doesn't do much for me.

well, i think members here are biased because he made Fro wait so long. months back i had personally given him until Feb 1 to get started on my OG. didn't hear much and then on Feb 1, reached out, and within a day, he had 4 different possibilities for my piece sketched out like crazy. i was getting nervous before that and certainly didn't want to be in the position like Fro was. however, if it had come to it, i would've taken the refund. at that point, i would've moved on to something else. so, i guess thats the drama. an artist being busy. go figure.

Look Rob, we get it. You're a fan. But how about you avoid trying to tell the rest of us why we don't like this or that. Plenty of people have described in detail why they're either not a fan of Englert himself or his art. Those reasons don't automatically equate to your presumptions simply because you don't agree with them.

I've always thought Englert was overrated. This was long before the situation with Fro. While I didn't like his art I didn't have an opinion on the man himself before the Fro situation. Englert's treatment of Fro and other people waiting for his art is simply not professional and it's disrespectful. You think Englert is the only artist who gets "busy"? Considering how many artists there are out there, don't you think the amount of them being "so busy" and having so many "problems" is disproportionate to the amount who AREN'T having such fan backlash? If it was simple logic that he's simply got a lot of work and that he's actually a decent guy, don't you think there would be more people defending the guy?

It's pretty clear that when you say something like "so, i guess thats the drama. an artist being busy. go figure." you think we don't "get it".

I have no problem not talking about Englert.

i'm actually digging that simpsons piece.

Mark Englert showed back up on EB recently. I hope things will start moving now with his new stuff. Hope it's not just because a new print is out.

Tron: Legacy by Nick Runge:

Hmm. I didn't see this in that Young Guns 2 recent show listing. It's pretty good. Could be better. I don't know why Gem is centered over Quorra. With some tweaks to the composition I probably would have picked this up. But the Martin Ansin one probably won't be beat.

I picked up his Alien, and Fifth Element prints. I am really liking his stuff, I grabbed his Ghostbusters poster a while back, and it is also beautiful. Definitely an artist worth following.

Personally I think this one is superior to Ansin's. For me the Ansin has problems with too much negative space and character likeness issues.

A few people seem to think Runge simply uses screen grabs. However, according to what I've read he actually uses acrylics and colored pencils. Which is just insane when you consider the likeness and detail. These posters definitely give off a Struzan vibe, IMO.
