As an artist myself, I can tell you frankly that I don't give a shit what you think when I am making something. However, as a human being, I can tell you it is very nice to hear that somebody has dug something you made --

Glad you liked my post, $5submissions...and I really agree with this quote, 2hp.
No one should create anything based on what other people might think of it...and those that do don't really 'feel' their own work anyway.
It all comes back to just 'being yourself.'
Though this is $5's thread, I'd still like to say thanks to everyone involved this thread for reminding me that people DO still think. For a minute I thought evolution had ceased.
Good night fellas,
