I wonder why anderson silva’s isnt for sale anymore??
It says “At the request of Anderson and his management this print will no longer be sold”..

Hes not making money on it. That is the only reason.

"The Spider" game for fight against Fedor or Lesnar"
UFC middleweight champion, Anderson "The Spider" Silva would love to get an opportunity to face top rated heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko according to his manager, Ed Soares.
Appearing at a signing in Canada with the middleweight champion, Soares told an MMABay source:
"That would be an amazing fight. We would for sure do that fight if it was possible."
Soares went onto say Slva would fight anyone the UFC put infront of him, including Georges St. Pierre and UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.
For months, the match everyone wanted to see was heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko pitted against then champion, Randy Couture. Since Couture lost the title, the new UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is now the man many would like to see against Fedor.
But with Silva naturally walking around at 215 pounds, it is not inconceivable that the man known as "The Spider" could face Fedor in a heavyweight clash. The biggest sticking point is of course getting those "crazy Russians" to sign a UFC contract.
I’m sure every fan would love to see the top two pound for pound mma stars meet in the centre of the octagon.

Finally get to see Evans work up here. I am stoked. I have four of his drawings. I am not all buddy buddy with him, but I chat to him once in a while online. The dude is cool as hell (as long as your not stupid).
Nice work Evan, it is nice to see it recognized.

Wow, his stuff is amazing. I definitely want that Wandy print.

Just ordered the Wandy print. Sucks that the Anderson Silva print isn’t for sale any longer.

He’s amazing… But isn’t he begging to be sued?? I mean, he’s using fighters’ likenesses and names to make a buck. I hope he stays out of trouble, but I think he should have done a bit more research before setting up his e-store.
by ARodOfIron on Dec 15, 2008 9:10 AM EST reply actions
not really… it’s not like he’s selling their gear or something. He’s making money because of the art work. There might be a hand full of people in the World that can do what he does. Really all he’s doing is what those people at the mall do, taking photos, creating a collage that he likes and sketching the newly created collage. It’s a completely new work so he can’t be sued.
It’d be like saying you could sue a photographer because they took a picture of you fighting and sold it because it was such a great image.

Dogshit.
I mean, the guy is talented. At copying a photo. But guess what is better than this.. a photo.
No originality. Just copying a couple photos and arranging it on paper.
If you’re gonna become an artist, have some originality and do something a photograph cannot do.
by danthrax on Dec 15, 2008 2:49 PM EST reply actions
Its a piece of art… A picture does not have the same feel or look these drawings do…
Your probably not an artist or are not that big into art so you cant really understand why this guy is amazing..
by mike22 on Dec 15, 2008 4:20 PM EST up reply actions
As we all know, the great artists out there take a photograph, trace it, and shade it using different gradients of pencils.
Tell me more about art, Picasso.

So just shut up, you dont know what your talking about!
