good debate shaping up here...
i work in a museum in a job that gets no closer to design than microsoft word clip art.
given my hobby of bryce etc. i applied for a job as a print designer which recently came up ( i did not think i had a chance since i had no formal design qualifications, but i wanted to know exactly what was required)
now get this:
out of 16 applicants, i made the final two on strength of my practical work, (i failed the techie stuff-who knew that the K inCMYK stood for black?)
as it turns out, one of the three members of the panel favoured me and i did not get the job..However, i now have been given a brief for  a freelance project and if it goes okay i will be used in the future!

Back to the point of this debate...after i had given the web address of my gallery here at Rendo...the panel looked closely at all my work  (this surprised me no end!)

and the image which took me through to the final two was: Nine out of Ten cats which i would have to say, i would have probably removed along with one or two others, had i thought my gallery was going to be taken into consideration for employment.

so take your own thoughts from this cautionary tale. why censor your own work if you created it in the first place? art (if i may be so bold) is and always has been a subjective thing. 
what some loathe...others love.. but that is part of the thrill i think and where would we be without independent opinions? :blink:
