Re: Time to move on

Hi Den, I really don't remember the number of you retirements  [-( ...

I don't understand what's your expectation from you artworks, I suppose you want to become famous: ok, then you've to paint about 1000 of your multi-panel pictures, make a book, send it to a lot of publishing houses and wait for a reply...

About commenting your pictures, imagine this scene: I buy a comic book and I've to comment every single multi-panel page... It's boring, on the contrary  I can criticize the whole book. I'm a friend of yours and I usually comment your pictures, but a "common" lurker simply see it, smiles and go.

My suggestion for you is to build a portfolio site with a guestbook for comment your whole work, and post your pictures on renderosity without allowing comments, saying that if they like your work they can write something to your guestbook and place a link to your portfolio site, where are all your pictures.

In this way you can measure the level of agreeement that people have to you and decide what to do.

I don't understand this kind of problems because I paint only for my own amusement, if people like my works is ok, if they don't like them is not a very big problem. In the real life I've my work as a bus driver and I have not a lot of ambitions, I need only a peaceful life, if I want I make a picture or do nothing for months. Also I made this place only for amusement, if it has success or not it's not a problem for me: in any cases I'll earn nothing from it (and I want to earn nothing). So Den, I can't understand you, or I don't share your ideas. I'm not saying that they are wrong but that we have different points of view and I can't understand yours.
