Dude, no offence, but you're pissing me off with these statements. It's not about money and I think it's a great idea. So give your credit to Prince and stop insulting him.

Did I say Prince can do no wrong?

No. No. And no.

I never said Prince was perfect, there are a few things I'm not happy with either. But do I complain on a website? No. There is a big difference.

And I know it's not all about the money, he at least has some appreciation for his fans. It's behind his music. Sorry if you can't feel that or hear that, but God Himself knows I have more of a heart to do so.

Yeah, I'm wrong. No proof behind that.

We all have opinions and I say it's not about the money and I like this idea, now stop antagonizing me. This isn't like you at all and I thought I had somewhat respect for you but I don't know. I don't care if you're a mod, I hate it when people talk to me like that.

You don't actually have to say it, it is very obvious by your posts, that anyone who dare criticise Prince , is a hater in your eyes. The idea of a website is to debate not sit around and not say anything critical, after all, are we not all here to be critics??

How do you know it's not about the money? Did god tell you in one of your nightly meetings with him??:rolleyes::rolleyes:

You are as deluded as Prince is. Joy is right, you know jack sh1t, your just a silly little boy. Sooner you are banned for life the better.

We got word today of a new art show opening in San Francisco on December 9th. “Art of Prince” will feature works by Anthony Malzone, whose designs have been featured extensively on Prince’s websitehttp://i.ixnp.com/images/v6.15/t.gif (http://lotusflow3r.com), as well as the poster for Prince’s August 2009 show in Monaco.
All of the prints in the show are limited-edition, numbered and signed by the artist. The show will be at the San Francisco Art Exchange in Union Square.

The exhibition opens December 9, with a public reception on December 11. Lotusflow3r members will be able to purchase Malzone’s art at a discount.
I wonder if we’ll see any of these designs on an upcoming DVD release? We’ll update you if we hear more news. – Dr.FB

A hater is a person who constantly insults a person and barely says anything nice or positive. A critic says one good thing and one bad thing in all of his/her reviews. All I've seen is hate from this about how it's all about the money (untrue) and how he's selling out his fans (untrue) and how he's a has-been. (untrue). Why bother sign up for a site just to call Prince delusional. It's bullshit. This especially happeneds on the org too. It's like being a guest at a person's house and trashing it later. And stop using my quotes against me. I meant another thing by it and I didn't say it so that I'd be quoted later on, because the use of the phrase was misunderstood to begin with.


How do you know it's not about the money? Did god tell you in one of your nightly meetings with him??:rolleyes::rolleyes: .

I said I know because it's behind the music. Somebody who would write something down for the sake of money or just to write it down is an awful songwritter/artist. A good song comes from the soul and feeling, not from the space. And you bringing up God in your rants is insulting a lot of Christian folk, and I hope you don't say these things in real life, it's not cool.

You are as deluded as Prince is. Joy is right, you know jack sh1t, your just a silly little boy. Sooner you are banned for life the better.

I speak the truth and that's all I speak, if I want to voice my opinion then that's also what I speak but if you have the nerve the say that whatever I say is delusional is taking it too far. Is this how you treat people younger than you in real life. I hope not. Grow up. If anything, you will get banned for you're know-it-all additude.

Update On The Art Of Prince

We got an update from someone who called the gallery who will be hosting The Art of Prince (http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2009/11/16/art-of-prince/)event that will take place in San Francisco in early December.

He even found out the price of the Prince prints. Want to find out? Plus, we had the artist send us some exclusive info!

When the person called they found this information that I guess is public;
The Prince prints will be going for about $1,000 dollars a piece and there will be a 100 only of each print.

Now, keep in mind, these prints appear to be limited and will also be signed by the artist, Anthony Malzone, and may not be something you are going to find just anywhere. In all honesty, events like these are more for art collectors and say people who collect art of musicians more so than say your average fan, so it is understandable.

Maybe they will have postcards like a gallery did in New York a couple of years ago that featured photos of Prince right before he was releasing records. A great girl sent me some of those postcards a couple of years ago and that was really cool of her.

For those that may not be able to afford the $1,000 dollar artwork, we hear from a funkenbaby in Minnesota that Prince’s latest 3 cd set Lotusflower Lotusflow3r will be sold at Target the day after Thanksgiving for $6.50 and I think it would make a pretty good stocking stuffer.

There will be a 100 of each print and each a $1,000. A lot of stuff is up in the air but when we find out, I will let you know.
Hmm. I wonder with the Cd’s being so low, will Prince get back in the top 10 or maybe hit number 1 this time around? Oh wait. That means Billboard would actually have to count ALL the CD sales this time. Soundscam indeed.-Dr.FB

P.S. Anthony, if you find an extra hanging around after the exhibit, give me a call. It would look great on one of my walls. Just playing.

UPDATE: We got some information straight from the source and I wanted to share. Anthony Malzone let us know that artwork is Officially endorsed by Prince and he had a lot of creative input on the pieces of artwork. His keen eye for art helped Anthony’s artwork become stronger.

Anthony could not confirm the prices that SFAE told us earlier but wanted it to be known that fans of Prince’s official sitehttp://i.ixnp.com/images/v6.16/t.gif (http://www.lotusflow3r.com) will get a pretty good discount on the prices of the artwork.
When more information becomes solid, I will update you. Thank you Anthony for providing more information to us.

How about you can leave me the **** alone and then I'll leave you the **** alone. I didn't do no harm on any other members at all and obviously you want to stir up the argument so then it seems I did something wrong. Your head games are just old school, so just let it alone. You are pissing me the hell off and it's taken everything inside of me to not curse you out and/or report you because unlike you, I don't want to be banned.

Maybe the problem will be solved there.

The Art of Prince To Take Over San Francisco
By Carly Milne (http://www.thedawnexperience.co.uk/#)



If you love Prince's music, wait until you get a load of his art. How does one do such a thing? Simple – head to San Fransisco.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.digitalcity.com/media/2009/11/princeart.jpg

It's there that you'll discover works from Anthony Malzone, the art director for Prince. He'll be showing off limited edition fine art digital prints - specially embossed with an official watermark, no less - at the San Francisco Art Exchange (http://www.sfae.com) throughout December.
Malzone is the lead artist for Prince's LOTUSFLOW3R.com (http://www.LOTUSFLOW3R.com) interactive galaxy, but has also been responsible for the musician's stage design, album covers and tour posters. So every time you've seen Prince in concert, bought his CDs or plastered your room with his posters, that's Malzone's heart and soul you're displaying.

Amid the CD cover designs and artistic stage adaptations, it Malzone's digital designs on Prince's Web site that truly offer a breathtaking representation of his skill as an artist. The site takes Prince fans into three distinctly different worlds that emanate the feel of his three new albums in high-end, 3-D style design. It's not just art - it's an adventure.

For those who are interested in picking his brain about his artistic process, or just getting an autograph on one of the limited edition prints they have the opportunity to snap up, Malzone will be on hand at the SFAE opening. The SFAE serves as the official world premiere of The Art of Prince, giving fans and art enthusiasts a brand new look at the elegant, striking, playful and enigmatic world of one of the music industry's most prolific artists. Who would want to miss out on that?

The exhibit opens on Friday, December 11th at 5pm at the San Francisco Art Exchange, located at 458 Geary Street. The cost is free, but an R.S.V.P. is recommended for attendance. Secure your space by calling (800) 344-9633 or e-mailing info@sfae.com.

Hey purple people,
We had someone in San Francisco broadcast live so that all of you who couldn’t make it would at least be able to peek in on the event.
We took questions and interviewed Anthony Malzone and some Prince fans who attended.
Hope you all enjoyed it.-Dr.FB

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="551"> <tbody> <tr> <td> Dear fans,

We are so excited to announce that our brand new and unique art exhibit from Prince was a huge success! The response was amazing, boasting hundreds of guests who came together to make the opening party at the San Francisco Art Exchange in downtown San Francisco a wonderful time.

Prince has never released artwork like this before, so naturally the response has been incredible! Collectors as well as buyers from around the world have purchased one or more limited edition prints from this inspiring body of work to use in their personal collections or galleries of their own. One collector insisted on purchasing all 7 pieces for his collection!

Keep in mind, these are exclusive fine art prints with a limited production of only 99 per image. They are all signed by Prince's lead designer, Anthony Malzone alongside the iconic Prince Love Symbol which has been hand embossed into each print. Each piece measures 24" x 36" and is printed as a giclee digital print using high quality archival inks on acid free archival paper.

As mentioned, this is the first time Prince has released anything like this. The project falls perfectly in place with his unbound creative impulses to explore new media and participate with his fans.
