Last post here! It doesn't validate me as an artist, it's just a little gratification to know that others appreciate my work as well. Sort of like icing on the cake. Oh, and I do have to say that the new "Favorite Artists" lists does help one keep up with others works, as well as keep one's followers/fans (what would they be called?) keyed into when one posts. However, even with that, I found two more artists today (not new ones) that I had never seen before, mainly because I just don't have time to wade thru so many images. It just so happened they were on the first couple of pages at the moment. No matter what the percentage, and I'd wager to say that the number IS somewhere close to 25 percent, a few less images a day would help somewhat. After all, this is a community for all, not just the ones that have nothing else to do but post art all day. It should be somewhat more balanced. That's all I wish! ~Fin
