There are always arsholes in this world, but you have let them win,ok it is up to you to move yours products,and no one should be judged for their work,if you like your work someone else will too, and someone else wont, it happens to all of us.

goodluck with all you do, and i hope you dont give up the lurking too...

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.
