Possible hoax. I'm no artist, but they certainly don't look like works of genius to me. The ISBNs given are not for those books- two do not exist, the other is for a book about Oliver Cromwell. Google doesn't throw up anything at first glance. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for your valuable input, J Milburn. I take it you have some kind of qualification in the field of art critique as you seem to be judging the value of the article on your own taste, or lack of it. This article is not here to confuse, obfuscate, or mislead, merely to entertain mainly Guardian online readers where Martin Wolk is a popular phenomenon. It can only be arrived at by a direct search for Martin Wolk...which isn't likely to happen very often, unless by the aforementioned Guardian readers who are fully aware of the truth surrounding this artist. This page will be abandoned or removed or deleted by me within a few weeks once it has served its pupose. I realise this probably offends your sense of order but surely it is quite clear that there is no malicious intent.
Just give us a break for a couple of weeks.

- Speedy delete as blatant and rather juvenile hoax. Drawn Some (talk) 18:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ms Brown and I have discussed this and we have decided that we resent the use of the term "juvenile". We would appreciate it if this distasteful insult were to be removed ASAP.
Thank you.
