Talk:Mark Ryden

Net worth and painting prices
Does anyone know his net worth and prices of his originals? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.31.109 (talk) 23:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

-- I was told that The Creatrix was already sold when The Tree Show opened, and that it had sold to a Japanese collector for over $800,000. -- P.W. (11/10/11) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulwade (talk • contribs) 03:35, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

This article needs to be completely re-written
An artist as popular and controversial as Mark Ryden should be described in a much article than this.

Also, what happened to the previous page on him? It was much bigger and included images, and now it seems to have been written over by someone.

I agree, its sooo Incomplete!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabianbarthe (talk • contribs) 21:11, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

My guess is that someone with ties to the artist (a publicist, gallery owner, or more likely the artist himself) was the person who made a vast amount of changes a while back from an I.P. Address. More recently, someone with no inclination of what they were doing, went into the page and stripped out the photo -- from an I.P. address with no comment. I'm going to look through the old versions of the page and reinstate some stuff. -- P.W. 11/10/11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulwade (talk • contribs) 03:38, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Album Covers
I have added a list of album and singles covers painted by Mark Ryden. The list was culled mainly from a listmania list on Amazon and from references on a Google search.

It seems to me that album covers and mass media are the easiest ways of people identifying and collecting an artist's work. I am sure the list can be expanded even further. I suggest that if it gets any longer, it should be moved to its own page, before it takes over the main entry.

Fair use rationale for Image:BandAidBulletHole.jpg
Image:BandAidBulletHole.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

History
John Tenniel is hardly a "modern illustrator". He died almost 100 years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Proclivities (talk • contribs) 04:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Rhcp7.jpg
The image Image:Rhcp7.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

it says Mark Ryden's paintings instantly trigger a warped déjà vu.
what is a warped déjà vu? I think we need a page on the warped déjà vu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.216.210.233 (talk) 15:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Notable art resources
Please have a look at the section below.

Both Hi fructose & supertouchart are well respected art blogs and cover The Snow Yak show.

In February 7, 2009 Ryden's exhibition "The Snow Yak Show" was shown at the Tomio Koyama Gallery in Tokyo. This show marked a bit of a departure for the artist, whose previously brightly colored palette and rich back rounds were replaced by a more austere, minimal look and staying to a serene palette of white and grey tones. Long Gone John and Jessicka were listed as one of Ryden's muses for the show.

 * Let's see. It's mostly blog-sourced, while WP:BLP says "Never use self-published books, zines, websites, webforums, blogs or tweets as sources for material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the biographical material." It presents an unreferenced opinion as fact. It includes a moderately long sentence quoted verbatim from an external site without indicating that it's a quote.  It misrepresents what the blogs say.  It's essentially promotion for the artist, rather than being NPOV-balanced.  It includes name-dropping promotion for some of the artist's friends.  And there's no indication that the exhibition being discussed has any encyclopedic significance.  But we've been through all this before, and you've been told over and over about complying with WP:BLP, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV.  but you keep demanding that all these policies, and other relevant ones, be explained to you at every article about this circle oif minor-league celebrities and celeb-wannabes that you decide to edit.

Unbelievably bad copy
This entire article needs a serious re-write. It reads like a high school term paper. Not only are there un-cited references, the tone and syntax are absolutely not suited for referential writing. OldManHat (talk) 06:12, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

-- Yeah, it does, dude. And this is wikipedia. Who do you think does this stuff. Why don't you try your hand at it rather than just complain? Research and add some stuff! -- P.W. 11/10/11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulwade (talk • contribs) 03:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
