I have no problems with anyone being impressed, indifferent or plain pissed off with my work but I do take exception to anyone attempting to define art by the length of time it took to create and/or the tools used to create it. One qualification to that before someone picks up on it... I do not believe it's possible - under normal circumstances - to create anything of artistic merit in 10 seconds or thereabouts. There may be exceptions; photography springs to mind, but that's all they are. That said, whether an image takes 5 hours, 5 days or 5 years is not a measure of artistic worth. As a side note, maybe 30% of my gallery is what I would call "art" and, oddly enough, I do not consider the comic panels to be art.
