This is the end of me on this thread, but why assume that a person is posting the worst of their efforts? Perhaps that day that person posted what they thought was something important to them to post for what ever reason. I honestly don't think most people put up graphics they consciously think are terrible, but are the best they can do that day. In a year, they may post something much better. It's the arrogance of people around here that gets me...people who pretend they never were beginners, and never had room for improvement, and never needed that shot of self-confidence that seeing your graphic up on a public website gives a person. It must be nice to have been hatched perfect out of your egg, but some of us have to struggle in our growth process. If I put a graphic up and it doesn't met your notions of what is good art, it isn't that I failed....it is the best I could do and I invite you not to look if it disturbs your sensibilities. But, good grief, why assume everyone is putting up bad art for the sake of putting up bad art? Some people may, but I think most are making an honest effort. And in a few months, if they are encouraged instead of discouraged, they will learn and improve and be a challenge to the self-proclaimed superior artists on this site. And, to tell you the truth, I've never noticed any of the truly wonderful artists spending any time whining about there being too much competition. They are too busy creating. Bye, bye.
