Taylor Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 For once, I MUST defend Jamestown residents; who, probably most never saw the statue in first place, Taylor; it was the WORLD who rejected the thing! Remember how long she stood there before the brouhaha (don't know to spell this...) I feel Dave is in FAR MORE PAIN from 'hanging up his tools'........ The fact it was standing there for so long and no one had an issue until someone from outside bitched about it is what puzzles me. As soon as it started getting media attention, the residents all of a sudden had a problem too. Very hypocritical and shallow I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Offering criticism of the statue itself is one thing, but the vitriol targeted at the artist is what bothered me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got so much hate for that. It was disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall I take that as your opinion of ME: a life-long CELORON-raised resident; and life-long area resident? If so: thank you, I needed that! Or....could you perhaps, on the other hand, realize most locals had never returned to the SITE itself and even knew there was a statue there? Makes a difference, eh???? OH, one more thing from up above: No-one knew about Dave until the OUTSIDER fans drew attention to him; blame yourselves, outsiders; you cost a man his humiliation!!!!

No, Joyce, I don't think you are hypocritical or shallow. Not all residents made a fuss about it. I was speaking of the ones that did and the rabid fans who were throwing a lot of hate Dave's way. I wasn't addressing you personally. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, think that's a great mural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, think that's a great mural. Exactly! Besides, what artistic rendering -- especially a painted one-- is going to look like a "picture perfect" image of the subject?? Moreover, why should it?? If that's what you wanted, why not have just taken a photo and blown it up to the requisite size in the first place?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
