Big words about "art", everybody!
Art has nothing to do with other peoples opinion. Art has nothing to do with accuracy. Art has nothing to do with anything, but itself.
Art touches the heart. Of course there are a lot of works inside our gallery that do not touch our hearts - but they touched the heart of the people who created them. And that touches my heart.
I don't care what this Mortal Rook guy says - if Rendo was, is or becomes a "ghetto" of people being happy with what they are doing, I will happily and proudly be part of it. And simply let the people play.
And another word about "accurate art": who ever tries to measure "art" or even craftsmanship on "accuracy", should place himself amidst Auguste Rodins "People Of Calais" and open his/her eyes.
*A bit more respect for the word "ghetto" and it's original meaning would have been good, by the way.
