That's not bad...

[duckula]

I think it looks like uninspired, turgid crap made possible by photoshop and a lack of vision. But that's just me.

[apoggy]

I quite like it, not bad for an amateur. I'd like to see you get off your fat arse and show us some really inspirational work rather than just putting down new visual artists, that act is becoming rather cumbersome.

Aye...in this case especially as this, for me...is actually not bad at all...given it's a bit of fun and not something professional.

[duckula]

Not an act at all. No one tells Robert Hughes to stop being a critic and produce art do they? Criticism is valid and neccessary to the artistic proccess and I don't think anything is to be gained by mollycoddoling 'new visual artists'.

The problem is with the advent of photoshop and others of its ilk is that a swarm of ignorant, talentless little turds suddenly consider themselves the producers of great and significant works of art.

That thing is shit. I know it. You know it. I'm just helping the artist to know it.

Forgive me but if someone tries to insinuate I've said something untrue...it's generally my policy to reiterate the statement and thereby reaffirm its truth. Then again maybe being called a liar isn't an insult where you come from...it is in my book...so I tend to correct incorrect statements like that.

If you wish to punish me for spam, do so...I'm not a hypocrite...but I will post if I feel I have a right to...that's my right...and if you don't like it...deal with it appropriately...that's your right.

Haz, you might want to bear in mind, that kkw is not a courtroom, and you are not on the stand. Neither are you the prosecutor. Or the judge. Stop being a drama queen and making everything out to be a moral dilemma.

Good work, but I've seen this done before. Not bad for a first try, keep it up.

Cliff...

a) stop posting off topic to take pot shots at me...PMs and IMs are better ways to do so...in doing so you force me to approach your posts as a member, and as a member it's in my nature to fight back...and as always kick your arse...whereas that comes into conflict with the officership and my moderating other people for spam...how about you leave personal stuff for personal areas, eh?

b) Don't presume to tell me what to do...you might want to bear in mind that everything comes down to morals...and if I feel I've been attacked, in ANY way...I will defend myself...I did so in a very respectful manner...myself and Frank were discussing the artistic merit of a picture...that's the point of a discussion forum...he the critic...me the defender...fuck me I thought that was the point...then Poggs had a cow because of OTHER threads and decided to turn this into his personal boxing ring...in doing so it DID become a "courtroom".

Now...how about we stay on topic and discuss the picture, eh? It reminds me of something...I can't recall what...something famous...a famous photograph or painting...gaaah...anyone got any idea what it could be?

Tension. Drama. Monologues.

Hey kids, it's performance art!

[Narg]

I like it, quite good i think.

"The problem is with the advent of photoshop and others of its ilk is that a swarm of ignorant, talentless little turds suddenly consider themselves the producers of great and significant works of art."

Somehow, from talking to flightfreak on many occasions, he dosnt seem to fit into this category, and I dont think he consideres himself as a producer of great significant art, If you dont like it, I think it would be more down to personal taste, thats fine, but theres no reason to be a complete asshole about it, But thats just the duckula way.

I'm not a complete arsehole. More a partial arsehole.

I feel like I should put forward the terms 'clenched' and 'puckered' in to the discussion.

[duckula]

I think we are missing 'sphincter', 'analissimo' and 'rose petal'.

[deviljet88]

My first reaction was "Where's her nose gone?", but Freak just informed me its just slightly transparent above the houses. So its pretty good However I suck at photoshop, so don't ask me.

[EmotionSickness]

Well, for what it's worth, I enjoyed it for what it was -- the product of someone just messing around in Photoshop. Nicely done. I just love that pic of Keira and that's a lovely skyline.

Question, did he call himself a producer of great and significant works of art? Precisely, he didn't, you assumed
