Tbh, his art creeps me out a little 

[acko]

Just somebody pretending 2 b 2 cool 4 school, in his head he's edgy and shit cuz he's not selling out by working 4 that commercial Madonna woman.

There have been plenty over the years. CUNTZ. Whatever.

And having googled him, his work is fuckin awful anyway! 

My thoughts exactly. We had a lucky escape.

nothing worse than an "artist" thinking he's above business. honey, when you want to make it in the art world it's ALL ABOUT THE BUSINESS. he knows it. everyone knows it. the only people I know who 'made it" (even on a small scale) are the ones who do all the talking, make the connections, befriend the right people... it's alllll business... that's why he's making screen captures of conversations with madonna's manager and sharing it with the world.

[Anne]

Thank God he said no because his work is horrid. But nice she is seeking new artists to work for the new era. 

[SOON]

Disaster averted. He’s a piece of shit. Good riddance. *FLUSH*

[Runaway Lover]

His work is horrible, but I'm happy the cover would be different this time. No Met & Marcus & Steven Klein.

[YannBouch]

It’s like. Look I turned down Madonna. How good am I!!! 

[TXIII]

And his analogy is all wrong. All the time on MasterChef (lol) the judges ask the cooks what they’re thinking of making and if it’s a bad idea they tell them to scrap it. #NEXT

He's being Her agent, I guess

[mynameisdita]

his work isn't horrible and i'm sure any professional artist would have answered much the same...if anything this shows what a twat Guy is acting like its a privilege to have the opportunity to work on an album cover and basically asking him to work for free for a job he might not even get...

[stevo208]

His work is very creepy. Not to my liking.

[Starman]

Liked his work actually.

[Apples388]

I can see why Madonna likes his work. There are echoes of Picasso in there and yes it would have been good as an album cover image. 

The guy is obviously an idiot but if my understanding of that clipped convo is correct, Guy O is also an idiot.

How long in advance before a single release does she usually shoot the album artwork?

About three months prior to an album release. 

Not for Rebel Heart, actually. She shot in November and the artwork was revealed on Christmas.

I know it was because of the leakgate, but that just proves it can be done in a shorter time than 3 months.

[Plaything]

I liked his work, it’s creepy but interesting. If this represents the music on Madonna‘s album in any way, then we‘re in for a treat. Experimentaldonna is back y‘all!

Unfortunately he blew his chance with his ridiculous answer and with posting a private conversation. I can’t believe what a douchey move that is. Idiot.

[Guest Katypatra]

His work is original BUT it’s very lazy. The kind of art that is extremely one dimensional and repetitive! And personally I also think his art is just flat out ugly! Next! 

[V.K]

How is she supposed to hire him without knowing what he can do fore her?

[Guest eroticerotic]

Guy o has real life connections but sends ig dms? Oh boy.. 

Social media dms are for people with no other means. Or so I thought. 

the artists response was equally weird. His art didn’t  move me. Guess to each his own!

 

[Guest Katypatra]

Today is Yom Kippur. I’m excited to see what M is going to dress as. The days of reflecting and meditating are over! Watch her submerging into work! I expect things unraveling about the album more and more from now on. 

[Nonoka]

Turning somebody down, even if it's M, is totally fine obviously but the way he explained it... Girl bye. Nothing worse than these "I'm above it all because I'm a true artist"-types, and you just know he's one of these guys judging by his post.

I'm wondering though, how the hell did M discover him? He doesn't have a lot of followers and even though I live in Germany I never heard of his name before...

But good to see she's looking around for new artists to work with! Mert and Marcus photoshoots have always turned out well so far, but it's never bad to switch things up.

 

[T0pher]

why not Steven Klein??? they do such great things together 

[Guest dcbyebyebaby]

Ive never seen "art" so hideous. Thank God its not happening. Although im happy "things are in play"

[Guest NewYorkCam]

Sebastian who?  His work doesn't look that impressive to me, but I'm glad to see M is looking for new ppl to collaborate with ..

His response to Guy sounds so pretentious .. but what is Guy O. doing communicating via Instagram anyway?

 

[luluthecat]

.....well I think his work’s really interesting. I can totally see why she’d like it. 

.....reminded me of a shoot by Inez & Vinoodh 

......could totally see M doing something in this vein. It would awesome.

Shame he’s a fucking pretentious tool, who has to show off that they’ve even “turned down Madonna” - cringe. 

[V.K]

I loath his attitude ,typical white male Berlin artist (not that the gay ones are coping much better with unearned arrogance there) but he didn't exactly turn her down,he was just stating his way of doing business
