Who you are, and how you respond, as a member, determines just as much of your credibility as your work. at the moment your work is not up to scratch and your comments regarding it aren't either. in this thread alone you've managed to engage in 3 arguments with 3 different members.
As for my ability, lets be honest here, 50% of most everybodys stuff is mediocre at best, Mine included but that does not make it bad at all, because you see there is someone or two out there who will absoultely think it is the best thing they have ever seen in their life.
I think most of the people who post on UCP, with the right intentions and who are willing to accept criticism, post some remarkable work.
And i've yet to see a member declare their amazement at your work, for the right reasons at least.
If this is a Fourm for "chops" then why all the fuss over WHO I AM ???...It should not matter, and it does not to me, but others have to take exception to what I do for a living because it hits too close to home for them apparently, and infuriates them that I can do what they only wish they could, and feel that they are BETTER at it than me.
Because who you are makes up just as much of the chop as your work. Great artists know that the signature on the bottom of the painting is as much a piece of the painting as it's subject matter.
What we were mentioning is how you used your posts here on UCP to further your business by advertising - something that is explicitly forbidden in the UCP rules.
That may be true too, but should be of little matter here on a public forum. As for me, phsssh, I do the best I can and let it go, I am not young enough to expect any help from anybody, and I have to go in my own direction to get the best out of my talents, so you either accept that or you dont. Either way it is of little consequence to me.
I am who I am.
If honesty is unacceptable here then I will GLADLY leave of my own accord, hows that ?
