1. Did I say ANYWHERE that you should stop what you're doing? No. I said you should EDUCATE yourself about it. You want respect in the art world, you gotta produce things that are innovative, new, and interesting. You're not gonna see a gallery full of shit that's been done already. I'm not trying to stop you.Originally Posted by Crucial
2. I sold my del Sol a while ago... not that that makes shit for beans difference. One of the best designers in our department drives a kia.. I don't see what that has to do with anything.
3. You can ask just about anyone here.. when it comes to parts, I have more than enough.. That's why I put parts slinger on there.. If there is a random fuel filter banjo bolt that you need, I have it. Mainly because I part out cars pretty regularly after buying them from the junkyard. It's a way to make some extra cash and I get to meet a bunch of people on here.
4. I am EXTREMELY professional... but only when I'm dealing with people who are equally professional. When I was meeting with the design heads of Panoz last year, they DID ask what the hell I was thinking on a few of my sketches. Not that crudely, but the intent was the same. The difference between someone who sits at their house overphotoshopping photos and someone who is out presenting to design execs is how well the art is defended and presented. It's about convincing people of the art. I purposely asked you what I was looking at, aside from overphotoshopped pictures that other people took. Search through the threads in this forum and find the ones that are drawings or photoshops.. I ask people questions that will piss them off, I give people hell about incorrect color balances. I like to see how people react. Had you come off your fucking pedestal and not tried to start shit, then I wouldn't have had to slam you back, and here we are. If YOU had kept a cool head, like a PROFESSIONAL artist does, and explained your thought processes and design decisions, THEN you would have an ounce of respect from me, and you wouldn't look like an idiot right now. Hell with a good enough defense you may have even convinced me that your pieces are interesting and worth taking a second look at.
5. I know worlds more than you do about the subject of art. That will not change until you admit that you are not hot shit, humble down, and read. Art's not just about pretty pictures and paintings.. it's about an understanding of how it is that we came to our current art movement.. why digital art looks the way it does, how to manipulate colors successfully, how to balance pieces well and how to pay attention to design grids. That's what it is all about. When you understand the technical, you can produce the beautiful.
6. Quit trying to come after me personally. You're not going to phase me or upset me. You're a hotheaded punk bitch. That's all. Someone who thinks he knows more than he does, and thinks his work is amazing, probably because his friends *cough*TRDWasiq*cough* told him it was. But when someone who DOES know a thing or two about art and design busts your little bubble, you flip the fuck out. I have no respect for you or your work. And those ARE two seperate things.. I go to school with people who are complete douchebags.. but their work is amazing. And I go to school with people who are the nicest, most awesome people ever.. but their work really isn't that great. YOU, however.. are a combination of the two... you're a douchebag whose work isn't that great.
Sucks to be you.
