Doc, I need you and your "art" about as much as I need another kidneystone, but I will give you credit for your originality and...contempt for the norm, shall I say? I'd also like to say that at least in my case, the negativity is not directed at you as much as it's against some of your supporters, who you must admit are often just as crude and nasty as some of us who are against you have been. Whenever you and I have crossed paths over the years, it's always resulted in fairly intelligent and thought-provoking discussions (at least for me, you probably just brush me off as another whining Vicky renderer, haha). You have made works in the past that I have enjoyed (the Metacreations employee out of work, and an interesting Dr. Doom image), and others that have made me want to reach into the screen and strangle you. ;) I suppose if that's what art is supposed to do, then you do a decent job. If only everyone on both sides could debate without stooping to the "your art sucks" and "what is art?" gibberish...well, perhaps then you wouldn't be as controversial, and you wouldn't want that. :) Anyway, just wanted to let you know that just because some of us don't like you, it doesn't mean we don't acknowledge your abilities and your presence here. I personally think you're a maniacal troublemaking 3D artist from hell...but I'll never say you're stupid, boring, or predictable. Take care. I look forward to our next disagreement. ;) SnowS Hoping his pictures are worth 1001 words
