Do enjoy my collection, I'm a bit obscure most the time, I don't pretend I can meet any global definition of good art but stuff I put here I create mostly for the joy of creation, and if others appreciate it, well, that's a bonus. :)

I try to embody everything with some message or theme, but try to be ambiguous about what those themes are to encourage art to do what it does best, inspire the viewer to explore new thoughts.

Random Favourites

I :+fav: things that generally appeal to me. However, if you already have billions of :+fav:, I'll be inclined not to :+fav: it unless its really special, and likewise, if there's a sea of comments, I probably won't comment unless I have a really good reason to and seriously think you'll have time to read it.

Oh, and If I :+fav:, please try not to annoy me by commenting on my page. I understand you like being awarded for your great art, which is one of the reasons I clicked it ok ;). If I comment, expressing your gratitude as a reply to that comment is greatly preferred, ( as opposed to using my profile as a billboard for yourself ).

One good +fav deserves another.

I've never been a big fan of people commenting on each others front page to express gratitude for getting a :+fav:.

I guess most people who do it have respectable intentions when they do it, I just feel its too easy to abuse.

Some of the ones I've seen are so arbitrary I consider it possible to have written a script to parse your favourites list and *automatically* give out the thankyou note.

And this to me feels a bit dirty. While possibly well meaning, its in turn a form of advertising. I can be the advertising whore every now and then, but front-page whoring does gnaw at me a little ( which in turn is why I have reduced my front-page-comments number to a low value to reduce the time-visibility of whorings ).

Additionally, when I go to the average persons front-page, they have all these replies with "thanks for the :+fav:" on it, and its meaningless and redundant to me, and to be honest, sometimes it looks like a cry for help and attention.

I'm never going to combat this thing I don't like by bitching about it either, people will do what they do because they've either thought about it and have decided their opinion on it, or haven't thought about it yet. Neither camps are really going to know about my complaint.

So I'm going to try experimenting with a more Positive way to do things, I'll try leading by example, and if others like the idea ( I'm sure others are already doing this actually , but meh ), maybe they'll join on and do likewise. If my idea sucks, it won't catch on, easy enough really.

If you :+fav: something of mine, I won't be writing on your front-page, I never have, never will. But from now on, I will try visiting your gallery instead, and to thank you for taking the time to view my gallery and give me a sign of appreciation of something I've done, I will endeavor to :+fav: something. I can't guarantee I'll find something I like, and can't guarantee I'll see something I want to :+fav:, ( maybe you're a regular and I've already :+fav:'d all the things in your gallery I really like), but either way, you'll get somebody scanning your gallery as your reward.

I'm not going to whore and expect an endless supply of :+fav: for :+fav:, if you fave me, and I fave you back, we're even, no requirement for you to go back and :+fav: something else of mine. You can if you really want to, but its up to you :)

( TLDR: Read the bits in bold to get the plot summary )
