I just got an earful from a mother who's 5 or 6 year old boy was gawking over my shoulder in a food court and saw this. I think the advertisements on here should probably tone it down. As far as the gallery, stay within the TOS and post away. I have never said I am sorry so many times in 45 seconds in my life, and it wasn't pleasant and wasn't even my fault really. But I can see the point.

I find it annoying that that was my post the ad appeared over. But I guess there's nothing we can do about that. I came here to share my art and learn from the experts. I guess there's a price I have to pay for that. But I sure would enjoy seeing art that didn't center on half-dressed women, huge weapons, and death and destruction.

What about the idea of a juried gallery, a safe haven for art that isn't teenage boy bait.

Rokket, I do wonder what she would've said if she'd taken a good look at the ad and said out loud what was so offensive.

I do not believe we should censor or inhibit anyone here from doing what they wish with their art. The art of Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta amongst others would be lost if people gave in to the puritan thoughts of a few. I shouldn't have to watch what I do because some mother was nosy and should've been watching her kids instead of an advertisement that showed nothing but a 3D pretty girl sighing happily at the taste of a good meal.

I have no problem with scantily dressed people, huge weapons, or death and destruction.

As far as Rendo's behavior This is the ad at the top my screen this very second.

Looks like a cyborg, holding a gun. Probably on some half dressed woman.

And stop picking on teenage boys. They are what they are. Half the population.
