Well, thank you very much for the kind offer!
I do remember sharing a page on the Fediverse a couple years ago. There were these kids who would visit our cafe and doodle things in my sketchbook, and later I’d try to riff on that, turning them it in to different art-styles. You can see one half-finished example of that here:

As someone with a Cookie Monster hand puppet, me will always have words for you… especially if you have cookie to donate?

(hahaha…one of favorite things is walking around the local farmer’s market, working the puppet and doing the voice XD)
Thanks for answering the summons. I am an art anarchist (you can tell from my work). Everyone can make great art in my book, and it very rarely has to do with technique or style (in my world) it’s always about ecspressivity. More so, in my opinion, technique is more often an obstacle than anything else. Not because it’s without value, but because I’ve seen it cut the wings off too many artists.
The ‘anarchist’ part seems to jibe. And I’m personally on board with your art philosophies to a certain extent.
That said, it does seem like there was a certain breakdown of logic and self-awareness when it came to your initial reaction.
I mean, you’re posting (some may say “spamming”) your personal stuff in a sub with a well-established backstory and tradition of examining fine art and classical art with great respectfulness. You then put out a general call for others and clearly get upset when I describe your stuff as being “amateur doodles.”
Buddumpity-bump!
Now for sure, I wish I’d chosen my words better, as they were clearly unhelpful. At the same time, I can almost *guarantee* you that many folks won’t really understand what you’re trying to aim for exactly, and will pretty much think of your stuff in those exact same terms.
That said, even if one’s art is universally slick and 99% impressive to general audiences, I still don’t think it’s great to share that and nothing more to a sub like this. To me it’s almost like saying “I don’t really give a shit about other artists or what came before. It’s just all about me.” Which I’m guessing isn’t really how you personally feel, but impressions can nevertheless be a motherfucker.
