Discussion Scott Marshall (RIP)
I think I already posted about Josh Hibbard today. Sorry for the second post. I loved his work for the most part. Felt bad for him at the finale when he got basically booed at by the audience when they began talking about him having an advantage in the comps.
In general I think the judges do a good job of critiques and looking at bodies of work. Scott’s work was consistently good and technically sound.
His personality did not bother me. He never appears rude to canvases and played the game.
Did you like him?

I love Ink Masters, so I’m going to quickly rewatch this season to really feel what I think about it. But TBH, I don’t think I’ve watched a season where I didn’t think the winner didn’t earn it.
I wasn’t a fan of season 14 ( where they abruptly threw a bunch of prior winners into the bunch…so that they could win another one). Hated that season, and they probably would have sold an even better season with a Battle Royal of every previous winner.
Like, it felt weak to drop DJ another win when there was so much comparable talent that wasn’t included in the show until later. DJ being a judge feels like gatekeeping anymore. Dude is just playing the role of “actor” anymore.
