Rattiki, I wasn't trying to sway anyone's opion,just expressing my own. I've only been posting for a few months,
but I've been on and off this site for a couple of years now and seen a lot. I have been making my own "art" since I was 4 years old, went to school for art for 4 years, and spent my entire life surrounded by artists. I have met artists who talent was poor but expressed themselves wonderfully, I know artists who have talent but hardly express it, and those with no talent or expression that just want to be artists. I get annoyed by the later, and I got annoyed by this particular one. I doubt they will, but let them stay and prove me wrong. Audrey, please stay and prove me wrong, make me eat my words.

That was a well spoken and respectable response and I will say that having had a look at the work it is awfully similar to Shag's and not very interesting, at least not to me.

Having said that I still don't think it behooves anyone alone in a case like this (except maybe Shag or his legal reps) to go to the apparent level that you allegedly did just because they don't live up to your standards and/or annoy you. This is a web community of collectors, artists, purveyors, enthusiasts, innovators and lunatics and we can make our own judgments. :wink: It's sort of like picking a fight in a corner bar that you just started hang out in, not in good form, and that is just 'expressing my own opinion'.
