I think he may have Asperger's Syndrome or something.
That would explain a lot!
I don't know it for fact but I am fascinated by Asperger's so I have read up on it quite a bit. He displayed a lot of those qualities. But then again, you know how it is. You start reading about a particular mental disorder and then you start noticing it in everybody! Heh
Another reason to get banned would registering a new account solely to smite people.
It's strange that someone would do that. If they feel that strongly about something, why not come out and say it? Can anyone besides moderators see who smites who?

Strange perhaps for our forum, but common practice I believe elsewhere. Yah, only mods can see or maybe only I can see.

a positive move for the forum all-round. i hope becca and the many others he has wronged get to settle things with him one day. i only wish the other artists that work with him took a moral stance and decided to cut all ties.

This may not mean a lot because I am a new member. But forums especially this one helps me with my art purchase decisions. I can’t can speak for everyone, but I really appreciate that sleep and moderators do screen out the “scammers”. Thank you for doing what you do to help us noobs.

Thanks once again to our wise Sleepboy for making the right decision. I generally would not post anything negative on the ARTCHIVAL since this is for the most part a discussion forum and everyone has different tastes, but in the case of lahoda...
Re: Banning Forum Members « Reply #26 on Apr 27, 2012, 7:53pm »
I wasn't for or against this, but since he's been banned, it would be great if we kept a look out for his aliases, cause in the case of other forums, he'll re-register anyways. The anonymity of a new alias makes it easier to scam others if that was ever his intention, so I would be careful.
I want to apologize to the online art print community for not taking their earlier warning on this piece of s**t. I stopped all business with Lahoda after my "Pepper's World" print was black listed on the forums for working with him. After I believed he stopped dealing prints and or art I was generally ok with taking the walls as long as there was no business transactions. When LALA gallery opened I buffed my "Pepper's World" mural to make it clear I wanted nothing to do with this clown or his gallery. Unfortunately, it was too little too late as other artists assumed he must be clean again and started to use him as a resource for walls and business. Now, through his half ass gallery LALA he is now selling unauthorized Retna's, English, Shepard, Phish, Saber, Parla, Becca, Futura, Banksy, Dface, Robert Indiana's, etc... and is starting to produce new editions, most recent was Insa and some sort of Robert Indiana's. Please do not buy my older prints or ANYTHING from this crook.
This is why it is not good to work with Lahoda:
Any artist that works with Lahoda/Jetsetgraffiti/LALAgallery/Freewalls also gets called out or black listed on these major Streetart/Print/Graffiti forums. These particular forums drive the print art sales as well as the secondary markets. I personally had a print blacklisted temporarily on all these sites for working with Lahoda "Pepper World" in 2010. I did not sell any of the edition from the release. The people on the forums said they love my work, but they will stop the momentum of the online sales because of my association with JetSetGraffiti/Lahoda. Any artist that works with Lahoda also gets red flagged by the LAPD art fraud detective. This detective has been relentless in poking his nose in our business due to our loose association with Lahoda, and any artist or organization that works with him gets investigated for perpetuating his art fraud.
After the stress of my final print and being contacted by numerous collectors of his ill will I decided never to do business with him again. It was my mistake to allow us to take his walls and billboards as now he has gained reputation off the artists back as well as gained the confidence of major institutions like MOCA and major billboard companies. I told him numerously to stop selling me and my friends work on his site and through twitter/instagram. He has no care for the value or market price of the work and has caused complications with galleries and collectors. He has also stolen two large sculptures from Dface that he holds in his "secret warehouse" as well as Banksy's, and Shepard Fairy's, etc.... From what I understand Daniel Lahoda has been banned from Banksy forum, Obey, Expressobeans, Melrose and Fairfax, Vandal Log, art.net etc ,etc,...for fraud, being an instigator/agitator, and selling unauthorized artwork. Lahoda has sold work to collectors and never sent the product to them, many many times. I have been contacted by collectors that purchased my work who had never received the artwork.
Lahoda can be very charismatic and can come across as someone who wants to help the "Street Art" community. Do not be fooled by his words as the facts prove otherwise. He is only in this for his personal gain. We are the artists and we are the content providers, not the other way around. Its time to cut people like him off. I am sure we will be seeing some defending responses from Lahoda fans, I would suggest making note of those user names as he has been known to be a busy troll on these forums.
These sites have a tremendous impact on online sales as well as the artists reputation and have the power to affect your pocket book.
Feel free to dig around and judge for yourself on his long standing reputation with the art community. These links are from just from a quick search. Those who speak highly of him haven't done the research or haven't dealt with the impending problems that are immanent.
More and more information on Lahoda's crooked ways continue to flood these forums on a constant basis for years. Many of the positive pro Lahoda comments were him using different user names. Regardless, if any allegations are true, just working with his brand creates negative discussion soiling any momentum of art/print sales as well as creates a dark cloud over the artist.

Apparently this was also happening according to the person posting this:
"I guess it explains why Retna was calling Daniel Lahoda out on Instagram in a stinging attack where he posted images showing Daniel's email exchanges (all traces of this have now been deleted)."
