Ugh.

I just wrote a big journal, DA lost it when I clicked submit.

Basically, I have no scanner, I've been working traditionally a ton. Teaching myself, I love it.

Until I create something worth posting or I get the balls to post my learning crap... if you find yourself here, please click my favourites and check out the amazing artists in there. They work hard and they deserve recognition, drop them a comment, tell them how much they rock.

Art is a job or hobby where you're producing something alone. More often than not it's one guy or gal sat over a table with a brush full of ink or paint or tech pencil or marker or big stick of charcoal or whatever making something alone. Okay they might be in a studio with other people, but what they're churning out on the table right there is them.

They're not asking for recognition, they all do it for love, not fame. But it's cool for someone to tell them how awesome they are every so often. There's too many bad reviews around from guys who forget that someone's poured themselves in to their art. Truth is, if you put so much of yourself in to something then of course you're doing a good job, you're teaching yourself and you're learning. A lot of art critics seem to assume that, because someone is putting some art in front of them to judge, that the artist who did it is giving all that they're ever going to be able to give, that they're at the top of their game.

Truth is, the artist is still learning and the work is just a sort of checkpoint on their way up. That's why they'll accept creative criticism too. Everyone wants to get better.

Click 'em...

I'll update this list in a bit.
