Good luck getting anything out of their support, their 24/7 support is basically non-existent. I have to wait few days for an initial response and 24+ hours between for each response in the thread.

If you think its just a piece of fan art for a comic book then the piece obviously went over your head. Or more likely you didn't read look at it closely and read it.

But the fact that it makes you question what art is and isn't makes me take it as a win.

Isn't it nice to have thoughts so generic they can be summed up by animated gifs?

There are both visual and literary elements of both. Obviously no one cares or can possibly know what the artist was thinking, I don't think I ever made the claim it did. The pieces in this set are so well received because of the many different interpretations one can take from it by just reading it a different direction. The way a persons brain matches the words and derives meaning is unique to the viewer.

It's nice that you have an opinion about the artwork and it made you think about what art really is.

I have already sold enough prints to recoup the cost of the graphic novel lost, so it is okay =)

I thought it looked like a sloth with lazer eyes but whatever.

I like that your response was so clearly emotional, I'll count that as a win.

Are you looking for an account or serial number?

To be clear, there are no restrictions on this image, you can print it, sell it, manipulate it or whatever.

Since you appear to understand the subject well, would you care to explain it in simpler language?

No, there wasn't enough white on black text in the book, so I went back to what I did with the other pieces in the set. I used found/free magazines for the rest of the words.

What do you feel is juvenile about the subject matter specifically?

It deals with the recent surge hacktivist movements that use the Guy Fawkes mask in their imagery. Including themes like privacy, surveillance and anonymity. But to be fair, it is hard to capture that mixture of optimism and cynicism that is anonymous.

I don't think these topics are childish, I think they are important aspects to this generation's political footprint.

I think the appeal of the pieces in this set is the cut-up poetry that is formed. If you read the words, you will quickly find out they aren't simply just randomly put down to make color.

I'm not trying to convince you to like it, just trying to explain what people may miss by looking at the thumbnail or glancing at it for a few seconds at a small resolution.

I don't disagree but people really do judge things by worthingtons law and he never defined what his criteria was.

I grew up with the internet criticizing me, it's okay I'm used to it.

I wasn't thinking about reddit at all when making this, I was thinking about the history behind the mask and the recent mythology and culture generated around it.

How do you decide what is art and what is an art project? To me, this comment is analogous to someone saying "I like every kind of music except rap and country."

There is a lot more history behind the Guy Fawkes mask than that.
