Nobody cares what you think we need to promote. Art comes in many forms. I guess you will tell us what to read too. Maybe we should burn the art and books you don’t like.
Do if my opinion differs from you then I am not allowed to express my opinion?

I care what I think. I am not in any way telling you what to like or dislike; merely expressing my opinion in what I believe is a much more polite manner.

Thank all for your comments both positive neutral and negative. It's why I post the images. I'm not looking for atta-boys from any one, just those deeply felt opinions.
It is fun and informative to observe the reactions to works that are posted. Here I get the unabashed sense of what the lay public feels and senses about works that are being created. Did it strike a cord? Was it reacted to? What were the comments and how did they place in the 'spirit of the times'? Did the work poke at a wound, and did they resonate with the general sensations of what is current and what has been 'set in stone' regarding the collective approval of the group.
Shocks? On here at the Hog, no way. What I post is pretty tame, has already been done and the art world has moved on. Even the main stream art world has it's slaps in the face to wake it up. Robert Rauschenberg's Erased De Kooning is a delightful mild game changer, you can tell because it's in the Museum of Modern Art which means it's main stream, Now! But when it happened, well, Oh My-My!
Better still, take Jackson Pollock and his action paintings. We still have from a head line the title 'Jack the Dripper' as the media and public tried to sort it out. They never did and guess what, the art world was just as lost and lame about what it was all about. But then came the 'word' and the art world championed it and that was that, it was Art with the big capitol 'A'. That was because in a conversation, the living God of art Marcel Duchamp, gave Jackson the nod and said it was important to modern art, and friends, 'That Was That', case closed, it was important Art with the capitol 'A'.
So, if I put little attention into refining what I'm doing because of what is said here or in the arts community it is not me being contrary. I value the regular persons response to my work equally as the critics and gallery owners. In truth I learn more from comments from the Hog community than the guy who wants to buy my work or tells me how groovy it is. I look for the honesty that is delivered by the reactions from the Hog forum. And like the old saw goes, "I take it with a grain of salt". That is because in fact I am a salt seller!
Thanks for your comments and reactions, please keep it real, and keep'm coming!
