WiNC...I'm not saying they shouldn't have an opinion....they just shouldn't get upset because the person creating the graphic ignores that opinion. If you tell me every single graphic I do stinks ("Your stuff sucks") that is your personal opinion. Say it. Get on with your life. But don't keep attacking me with it. Say it once and if you don't have anything else useful to say, move on. What I don't get is why someone would repeatedly attack a particular artist on the galleries with such vague comments. It's obvious an ego boost for the critic, or some sick game, but it's not useful, and the artist shouldn't change just because somebody doesn't like what they do. You don't have to like what I do. Don't look at it. If you don't like my work, tell me once and go elsewhere. Why is that so difficult? Allow me to do what I want in peace. If you have a constructive way of improving it, fine. I may, or may not listen. But telling me I stink doesn't do anything. And notice that I don't have my stuff open for comments....I'm not trolling for people to tell me how great I am. I know I'm not great. I know I have a lot to learn. Tell what I need to know that will allow me to grow as an artist. Telling me you hate my work only tells me something about you. And I am only using you and me as reference points and not directed toward anyone particular. I don't believe WiNC, for example, has ever said an unkind word to me. Actually, overall, I have found people on these forums very supportive and helpful. This obviously is an important point or we would be all debating it with such emotion. And I think that's a good thing in itself. If it makes us think about what we write before we write it, that's a good thing.
