Quote - i don't upload my stuff. not because i'm too good. it's because i'm too bad - in setting up a render, that is. plus, i don't give a ... about hits and comments and other kindergarten-games.

I would not be where I am now if I hadn't uploaded my crap first.

Sure, most of the comments were just 'pretty' and 'nice' and other sillyness, but enough critical comments have come in over the years to help me learn a few things.

I have no problems with a gallery that allows bad art to be uploaded, for two reasons:

1. Who am I to say what is bad or good? If I did that, the whole place would be nothing but my personal subjective tastes.

2. I have a gallery at Elfwood after all, and it's got my really ancient crap on it. And nothing is worse that silencing a budding artist. When I was 5 years old my older brother told me I sucked. I didn't draw anything more than my name for another 10 years... He's felt guilty about it ever since. He was only 7, so I can't hold it against him. I certainly, as a 35 year old, don't want to do that to the next generation of would be artists.

If it sucks or if it is good, I try to give the same kind of feedback - something good and something to improve.

Such as "I like how you lit up X, it is really nice. Try setting Y to Z someday to get ABC."

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
