Take a look at Greg Horn’s client list (pasted from his website at www.greghornjudge.com) over the past 6 years and PLEASE explain to me why all these art directors and brand managers are WRONG and you are RIGHT?

GREG HORN’S ART WORK SELLS COMIC BOOKS AND MERCHANDISE ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHILE YOU SPEW PURE HATRED ON A KEYBOARD. How’s that working out for ya?
1) I'm full of hatred for daring to say that I dislike something I would have to pay money for myself.
2) I'm a feeble little worm because it often prevents me from spending money I otherwise would.
3) I'm jealous because I find much of his work exploitive and insulting to the female form.
4) I know nothing of art because I'm not forced to pander to the lowest common denominator (usually the basest of human desires) so that I can scrape up a profit.
5) My opinion does not matter, because the man makes money.
6) I do nothing but spew hatred on a computer when I state my opinion in a public forum.
7) All of the listed companies know better than I do, because they make money at it.
We're all on the same page now, right?
Dear Ragnell the Foul,
ReplyDeleteIf you start a jealous h8ter's Grrl Only Club - Can I join?
I'll pay for t-shirts
-Willow
PS: Y'think the banner should be a stop sign over the words Greg Land & Greg Horn. Just a Not sign of the world Greg?
Or something more LolCats?
Like: DO NOT WANT - EVAH
Wow - did you just get trolled by Greg Horn? Or was it just a Greg Horn stalker?
ReplyDeleteI mean, that's an impressive knowledge of Greg Horn's client list.
Never mind - I did a quick Google search and found Horn's website. He has his client list posted there.
ReplyDeleteAlso - MY EYES! I'm suffering from input overload - his website - it burns - so cramped, such tiny font, such bad layout. Brrrrr.
Now I know I have been reading your blog for too long. I saw the title "Oh, this is lovely..." in my RSS feed, and psychically knew it had to be sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lotta spew.
ReplyDeleteOh, good ol "ur just jelus," how are you doing today?
ReplyDeleteAnd also, "h8rs quit h8in," how grand of you to join the party!
Honestly, it's like a form response. Though listing every single damn client of his is a new one, I admit.
What strikes me, skimming the article itself, is that you don't even offer a lot of criticism, and it's relatively mild. DAYUM, this poster has a bug up their butt.
This is what I love about comics criticism. How often do movie reviewers get "YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS / COULD YOU DO BETTER?"
ReplyDeleteBook reviewers? Music reviewers? Oh, they get it once in a while, but Every ten minutes?
Nope, it's in the wonderful, increasingly-shrinking-to-a-pool-of-
crazies world of comics fans, where every other person either sees themselves as a future creator, or worships their favorites to the point where questioning them is BLASPHEMY, that people have to deal with this idiotic argument about 900 times a day...
How dare you criticize our betters! Don't you know we have a class system for a reason?
ReplyDeleteHeidi Fleiss had a pretty impressive client list too.
ReplyDeleteThat comment is stupid, mean, and spiteful. You think you could do as good a job as Heidi Fleiss? Stop hating and get a life!
ReplyDeleteHe had me at Allstate Insurance Company.
ReplyDeleteInteresting trivia about one of the covers in the original article: "American Gothic" is a painting of a farmer and his daughter.
ReplyDeletePuts an unintentionally icky spin on pretty much every homage to that painting.
Dear Ragnell,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for my thirteen year old daughter writing into your forum. She apparently thought that this "Greg Horn" person was ACTUALLY Brittny Spears.
I have taken her severely to task, and it won't happen again.
How come you feel the need to address these comments? You're a popular blogger. People are going to hate, but I'm getting a little weary of reading posts about mean comments. It's a little narcissistic. Don't let your blog become the O'Reilly Factor!
ReplyDeleteThe point of the blog is to point out how dumb this guy is, not some narcissistic urge to say "LOOK ME SMART!"
ReplyDeleteGreg Horn used to be pretty good in my book, but then he just started looking hackish and cheesecake-y. HE'S the SOLE reason I didn't read She-Hulk, because the covers were just so damned off putting.
(Except the one with Wendigo and Wolverine on the cover. That one was composed and executed pretty well.)
Ragnell:
ReplyDeleteWhy does your blog always have to be about stuff YOU want? What are you, some kind of egomaniac?
Make more posts about ME! ME!ME!ME!
Also stop worrying about your financial betters and make me a pie. Remember, all about me. Less about you...
