Quote - Firstly, I am a girl...and I don't post large breasted women and pin-ups, that is an attack on my work.

As if your comment wasn't an attack on my work. Secondly I did say you were talented which was an attempt to indicate my comment wasn't meant to be an attack on your work. It was an attempt at a "people who live in glass houses" kind of comment.

Quote - Second, I failed to see what you're really after, other than making a propaganda out of all of this. I mean afterall, why would anyone (especially a person who creates such inconsiderate images and irresponsible comments) be so 'sensitive' to a trivial opinion such as 'this is sick?'

"What I am after" was a discussion on what I felt was an unfair characterization of not just my image, but of my character as well. I don't create inconsiderate images. I do create a variety of work...some of it fetish, some fantasy, some dark and irreverant, but none of it inconsiderate. Who are you to pass judgement that my image is "sick" or inconsiderate and in saying so, you label me sick and inconsiderate as well by default, I'd say that was a bit irresponsible of you. You don't know me, and you certainly can't even hope to understand my nature from one image! Believe me, there are many people here who think that images of scantily clad, large breasted pinups are "sick" that would label you sick and inconsiderate just as quickly. There are many who feel those types of images are demeaning to women. I'm sure your intent with your images has nothing to do with demeaning women, just as my images have nothing to do with being inconsiderate.

As to my way of approaching the issue...perhaps I should not have made such a big deal out of it, but there is nothing immature about bringing attention to a comment made in a public gallery and having a public discussion about it. Bottom line is this...you are certainly entitled to your opinion and you are entitled to state it. Perhaps I over reacted to it, and I apologize for that, and for the approach I took when I started this thread, but I can offer no apology for discussing the comment or the nature of my work in public.

You are a fine artist and should be proud of your work. I am proud of mine and I am sorry if you found my image distasteful. I cannot say I won't create similar images, but I do so as an exploration of the darker side of human nature, to make people think and perhaps to poke fun at it, not to be crude or inconsiderate. Thinking it over, I am actually encouraged that I drew a strong reaction from someone. Good art should do that. I am only sorry that your reaction to my image made you feel I was being inconsiderate as well. That was not my intent. I hope you will accept my apology and set aside this difference between us. I have definately learned from this and can assure you, the next time I receive such a reaction from a viewer, I will approach it much differently I assure you. I invite you to continue to comment openly on my work, good or bad, and to do so without fear of my over reacting again. That is not to say I might not open a discussion of it, but I will be more careful to not cast a bad light on the person that made the comment. 

It's all fun and games...
Until the flying monkeys attack!!!
