[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 631090, member: 4790"] it seems to e that several threads have sprung up now about art of various kinds for sale and several people are always quick to chime in not with the spoortitive praise that i have come to expect from this forum or with rational questioning but with rude suggestions that an artists time and energy is not worth what the artist thinks it is. i know there is a lot of overpriced art in the world. i also know that not everyone can afford quality, original art. however, just because a person cannot afford a piece does not make it appropriate or polite to ciriticize their price structure. especially when it seems that most posters of this sort have absolutely no idea of the materials time and training it takes to make these pieces. i find it shocking that a community that contains memebers who will frequently pay $2-8 for a machine cast piece of lead or plastic that has been mass manufactured will repeatedly push for visual artists to either give their work away (while insisting how great an opportunity it will be for the artist) or blatantly and ignorantly pointing out that they are too expensive. i would particularly point out some fo the rude things said in doc midnights thread. if these were said in any other context i am relatively sure they would be considered personal attcks. is it a complete lack of experience with art? with money? is there another reason that my passion for the subject is keeping me from seeing? what is it that makes so many people see r.p.g. art as nearly valueless?
