Powerful message. "I'd like a number 1. Easy on the preaching, no tomatoes and extra blessings." "Please pull forward to the next window."

This might almost be intersting,...let me look again. No it's pointless. Guess it's just another failed poet, or wanna-be rockstar, on his way to being a failed artist. How sad.

I'm sorry that I'm not living up to the standard of your " Sorry, but no files match your search" images.

No need to apologize. Just look up the words "imagination" and "talent" in the dictionary. And then realize that is what missing in your efforts.

Oops. Must have struck another nerve when I critisized your "imaginative" pin-ups Tired. I must have missed your obvious "talent" when reviewing your picture of a nude woman.

IN DEFENCE OF RAGMAN: he has a point! Tired has a point, too. Tired's point is to create lust in the viewer through the most effective combination of the artificial female figure and various other elements, taking into account sexuality and basic good use of color and image balance. Ghostdog's comment is flawed in its assumptions when he says that Ragman is "on his way to being a failed artist." He assumes, I believe, that Ragman is aiming to be the most popular or most financially successful artist. We can all leave that to Thomas Kinkade. But while most of you are wallowing away eating your little Poser pastries that are all so alike, doing nothing new, Ragman comes and shoves some garlic and salt in your mouth, and you repond by saying "Yuck, that tastes disgusting! Back to my Poser pastries!" I don't think Ragman cares. Sure he wants the reaction, but what he is really getting at is that there is more out there to express than just "sweets." Sometimes even more than just "agreeables." He wants to express those things that stretch your mind. Just like stretching an out-of-use muscle, the process can hurt... I am not defending "shock art." I am defending Ragman as he probes the validity and nature of people's ideas and presuppositions. I also don't think Ragman will mind me comparing his art to "garlic and salt"! His art is very "salty," if you follow that metaphor.

Yeah I love the idea, but I would rather have seen it done like the "Romaticized" oils of the renaisance period, more detail. This is good, but too iconic.
