Maybe OT, but maybe not so much that it gets moved. After all, this is Poser country. I've seen the Poser Anonymous posts...the "I spend and can't stop spending" posts...I may be one of those. And also, the "Is it porn or is it art?" posts. And the associated complaints about nudity and temple Vickies. And let's not forget the "big breasts or small breasts" discussions. But, I haven't seen this kind. (so there!) How many people find themselves in MY predicament? Let me explain. I could spend time trying to learn more about Poser. And learning to do something that I really want to do. Like make the same incredible art that I see so much of. But, instead, I find it easier to spend time chatting and exchanging ideas and thoughts and "funnies" and, well, just plain chatting with people that are "regulars" in the forum here. People like Pokeydots, chohole, X2000, Ronknights, bikermouse, c1rcle, Little_Dragon, Entropic, genny, quixote, bknow, and nu-be (to name a very few). I enjoy the heck out of it! So, why is that? Is it a way to "hide" from my inabilities in the art world? Or is it the enjoyment of just chatting with artists? I don't visit the galleries much anymore. For 2 reasons, I suspect. Because it usually makes me feel much worse seeing what others can do that I can't, and, God forbid, if I should ever get a good idea that I can work with, it will be because my subconscious draws me to something I have already seen. I DO visit the galleries of people that I have exchanged lots of threads with. I do so to get some perspective of what they think of. To see if I can gleen a bit more of what they are like. I see that some people don't have much of a gallery...kind of like me. Which made me wonder. Are there other people out there that enjoy "chatting too much"? Other people out there who find themselves in the same frameless, pictureless world as I do? I don't mean to "insult" anyone. Just curious.
