If I ever get a chance to, I am going to fist fight a fox. I used to have a friend that wanted to fight a kangaroo. No matter how you say it, "punching a 'roo" sounds like a euphemism for masturbation.

A digital artist was recently brought to my attention. Somehow in two months, his skills went from high school to college graduate in the world of photo-realistic painting. Now I understand people can be quick learners, but I see this as unfeasible. A trained eye could tell he used an art filter and turned a photo into a "digital painting" then fixed some bits to look like he painted it. It was also pointed out that he didn't try hard enough to hide filter artifacts, but instead blamed it on "rushing it to get done." I would like to think that he did paint it, but once you know how to do this sort of trick you can't unsee the errors.

My point is that I like to see artists call out the Charlatans and publicly crucify them for their lies. In his defense, maybe he just doesn't know any better.

Then again, this is DA and there are plenty of hacks and liars on here.



I also love me some jazz and Modern Adult Contemporary.
