'Looks like thats even taken away from me because of some small minded people' I've never seen your stuff, so I wouldn't comment on that side of things, but that phrase above sounds wrong to me. It sounds like you're the one who's taking it away. I don't want to sound cruel, but there's another saying. 'If you can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen'. The reason I'm saying this is to make a serious point. I tramped around from one client to another for over 2 years with my (photographic) portfolio before I ever got a job. And that was after 3 years of work to put it together. People glance at stuff that's taken time and blood and sweat to do, and say 'Oh, no! That's not what we're looking for. Sorry' So, if YOU believe in what you're doing, I would urge you to put back your gallery, keep on doing whatever feels right for you, and you know what? If people don't like it... let 'em go to hell. If you like the M girls, it means you're doing something you're really interested in, and that's the best way to create art. Be your own judge and decide. Don't let other people decide your life for you. mac
