OK everyone lets get real.Take a good hard look at your work. Do you really think so called art companies are falling over themselves to buy your work. If any of us were that good we would already be established artists with agents and galleries bidding for our seasons output.

The cold facts are we are all struggling to have a go. Nothing wrong in that.Any company that writes in poor english is not a professional company.Go to a gallery and they will tell you if they can take your work. If they cant it may be because your work is not part of their house style . Nothing to do with your quality.Or it maybe your commercial standard just doen't quite cut it....yet.
But please do not go weak at the knees just because someone blows up your skirt!

Are you an artist? If so lets see some of your work and I will give you my opinion.
I don't think People care whether Richard Branson can spell!!

I would keep your negative opinions to yourself.

Yes, that message from Mark Morgan is very presumptious and a bit patronising. You are assuming that everyone on this site is a 'wannabe' artist and that we are not living in the real world.

I for one have been a practising artist in the 'real world' for 18 years now, earning a living at it. I have looked at many people's sites on the artist's web and there are many successful ones. And success comes in many different forms. Mark Morgan, you need to be a bit less critical of others!! Sorry but I can't stand generalisations.

It is hard sometimes working out what is genuine and what is dishonest in the internet world, you can't blame some people from getting a bit of a thrill on first inspection of such an email.

Nope, nobody's falling over anybody to buy my stuff, which is why none of it's for sale. I don't sell originals, and I produce my art for one client only: me, though once upon a time in the high and far-off times, o best beloved, I too had aspirations to be commercial.

The stuff I present herein is purely to give myself some modicum of reassurance that I haven't been totally self-serving over the past 19 years, and to share my efforts with anyone else who's interested.

I want kids out there in www land to pirate and appropriate my work. At least then it's getting used, seen, and appreciated by an audience somewhere. I don't care where it turns up. The only enemy is apathy.

Maybe that's why I've yet to receive any of these daft spam messages?
