absolute visual -- and I consider that wholly in my studies. I'm looking at color, construction, form, lighting, texturing, blocking, method, concept, and presentation. The basics of what makes us all better. As I do that, I consider methods employed, programs used, the style of the artist, the medium in play. I am not going to consider popularity of the artist. Or even my particular feelings towards them as individuals. Nor will I stick to my personal tastes and my own "comfort zone" (if I did, that hot 20 would likely be the last place I would look, and the image reviewed in my example would not have been such). But, well, if the artist takes the time to say they DON'T want a real and honest appraisal, then I'm willing to go beyond that. But if they do not do so -- if that comment box is there, and nothing says otherwise -- then it is an invitation. And I may well take them up on it. So far, the count is 13 to 2. I've done a few so far, and no one has thrown terrible rocks, or told me I've bruised them so far. I'm hoping the gallery folks will catch the linking thread and respond to this as well -- I spot a couple who have, so there has been some attention. Again, thank you all so far for the comments and good discussion -- please, keep letting me know.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
