That's like saying a modern artist isn't an artist because someone else made his/her paints, brushes & canvas. Like saying Steven King isn't an author because he uses a store-bought typewriter & paper. Like saying those who model meshes aren't creative because they bought the computer & software. A composition in poser can be bland, trite, banal, or startling, stirring, moving. I've always felt that if any creative act or object communicates a change of state, a response, an emotion between the originator and an observer, it should be considered art. It's the RESPONSE that counts. Where the materials came from doesn't matter, it's how they're USED. Perhaps I don't express myself as clearly as I wish, but this is my honest & heartfelt belief. Render On!
