Well friends. I am considering leaving deviantart. When I posted that Comic book Shakira picture 2 people complained. The first artist said to link the reference as it was like stealing and the other artist was the person who created the original copy themselves. They said it annoyed them.

MEANWHILE......if you go to other sites....ESPECIALLY [link] you will see many pieces of celebrities recreated by others and even more interesting some pieces are of the same shot. Just look at Gwen Stefani for example.

Furthermore who is to say that some person right now isn't taking your work and re creating it on a wall in an alley as graffiti? Who is to say that as I type someone isn't taking MY work and making a digtial copy and tweaking it a bit.

Forget congeniality and flattery. No no no...let's be quick to be judgmental and just accuse others for no good reason. Considering that in this community that I have received such terrible feedback after such a short while I may depart for a bit.

Not a great start to 2008
