I hope you have your flame retardant undies on :)

This question or something similar gets posted about once a month and some receive it well and discuss, others get their undies in a bunch and, well... don't discuss, hehe

I myself think art is purely subjective.  It involves being "creative". Art evokes an emotion. If Poser or any type of program or medium allows someone to create something  that stimulates one or more of the senses to evoke an emotion from someone, be it for good or bad, then that's art. 

Besides, painters don't make their own canvass or brushes or paints.  They buy them and use them as the tools to create their art.

People who use programs and produce various types of digital art are using tools, just like the painter or sketch artist uses their tools.  They're just different tools, but it produces the same thing.... art :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
