Leaving

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 9:01 AM
  • Mood: Anger
I've decided that I can't stay on dA anymore. There's too many people posting utter shit and calling it art, there'stoo many people posting PORN, calling it art then trying to defend themsevles, there's too many lurkers who do nothing but collect pictures of naked women. So I'm leaving. Screw dA, if it doesn't want serious artists then fuck 'em, they seem more interested in MySpace cam whores, and seem to be drawing more and more of them in.

If anyone would truly like to keep up with my work, and not just stare at naked women, leave me a message and I may pass my Flickr on to you. My work here is now hidden, and will be deleted when I have time.

So to you snapshot posting idiots: Well done. Another site over run with you. And you have the nerve to call it ART. You need to get real.

Goodbye watchers, people who've faved my work etc, thanks for your support

Goodbye dA, and thanks for nothing.

And if you happen to disagree with me, please, don't hesitate to keep it to yourself. Especially if all you have is stilted poetry and snapshots of your friends and family. Try photobucket or something, they're used to your kind of crap there.

there's plenty of art on DA; being too lazy to avoid the submissions that aren't art is no reason to blast DA. Condescension and arrogance are much worse characteristics than the few "non-artists" who submit stuff here.

It's more than 'a few'. And it's got steadily worse, and nothing ever gets done about it. This is not a site for serious artists anymore, it's a site for any idiot with a camera to take crappy, uninspired photos of themselves and their friends, put a funky filter over it and call it art.

And i don't appreciate being accused of being arrogant or condescending. If you don't like my comment, don't fucking read it.

I commented because I don't appreciate having someone say that that DA is a crap site just because they run into some work that doesn't meet their standard. You posted your opinion in a public forum; if you don't approve of being accused of being arrogant and condescending, don't comment where people are expected to reply...and maybe stop being arrogant and condescending.

You only need take your own advice; if you don't like the "crappy, uninspired photos" don't look at them.
