Maybe THAT'S why I'm so laizze faire about critiques.  I've HAD gallery shows, long long ago, and got art reviews written about me.  The reviews of the time were scathing and I wrote off art for years, when I should have just blown it off.

The old cliche IS cliche because it is so true:

**You can't please ALL the people ALL the time.
**No one can.  If you don't want anyone to have a bad reaction to your art--STAY OFF THE INTERNET! LOLOLOLOL :lol:  SOMEONE,, SOMEWHERE in the world will absolutely HATE whatever piece you did.  Blow it off and go on!  You have to, for your own survival.

Even if someone puts up a negative comment--they STOPPED and LOOKED.  Even if they blasted you later--something you did STOPPED them cold in their tracks and made them LOOK.  That's a positive, even if results in a  negative when they start typing their response.

Eye-catching is something that advertising companies will sell their first-born for to get!

You just have to maintain a light-hearted point-of-view about the whole process and NOT let it all get to you!  ^__^ V,,
