I suppose we could get into the "purism" discussion again, but why? The answer lies more in what you want from your art than in anything else. Are you doing it to please yourself or to gather comments? If the goal is to please others or to make a few bucks by selling prints at fairs then you should go with whatever makes everyone else happy. But then it becomes a chore rather than fun, because churning out stuff for other folks just isn't pleasurable.

Peter, your style is unique and individual. Whatever motivates you from the choices above, or other choices unnamed, is what you'll create. Me, I'd be likely to shell out for a KPK print, and hopefully it would be one that you made for you rather than for the masses. But I happen to like your particular style. Maybe the majority (or the vocal minority) feels differently.

All I know is that I floundered for a long time trying to impress people with my fractals before I got it through my thick skull that it was a lot more fun impressing me. As it turns out, those pieces that most impress me are also the ones which impress others. That's nice, but it wouldn't change how I work if nobody but me liked my stuff. 'cause I'm doing it for me, not them.

Sometimes I sit down to work thinking "I want to create something that would look good hanging in a library (or a living room or wherever)." And I always botch it. Just letting myself create gives the best resuls. And sometimes, gosh darn it, the end result would look good hanging in a library.

I like your work. Always have. I don't know if that's because you were creating for the masses or for yourself, but I hope you keep on going in the direction you have been!
