I always look through the gallery indiscriminatly and open an image If I like the thumb! I dont just stick to my fav artist list, the artist comes secondary to the image From this standpoint! obviously If one of your fav artist has uploaded something you will go and look! and comment accordingly!

In my humble opinion , an eyecatching image no matter who its by is definately worth a click!

I did the same thing with my soulprojector alias , before admitting its MrPsiquedelico's other gallery , and did actually get a lot of comments ( maybe on the strength of soulprojectors followers, maybe because of the image) ,it was a one off upload! my soulprojector gallery is primarily for photos , but yeah, in that instance , it didnt make any difference??? still got the hits!!

an interesting thread though all the same.
