it's more of a coincidence
he wouldn't be that of an asshole to just shut down punaji on us.
he was just proving an open point that art forums and how critiquing is handled is somewhat obsolete with the wrong a different variety of skilled artists...

[ndchristie]

I used to read punaji a lot, but the character of that board really didn't sit well with me for various reasons.

David always struck me as a little bit in love with himself and his work, but that's just an opinion.  The fact that he seldom listens to critique doesn't render it invalid, and the fact that he hasn't improved much in the last few years....well, I hope that he is satisfied with his current skill level.

Of course, he's never stuck me as a bad guy, and I don't see why anyone would dismantle a forum.

I wasn't saying he took the forums down intentionally for that reason or anything, Zach. I was just noting how the timing of it occurring was strange. His portfolio is down as well, so it's probably just the hosting server having maintenance done, being moved or what have you.

He's actually improved a lot with his watercolors and drawing in the past few months from what I've seen.

adarias: I think you've missed out on his improvement because you haven't been to punaji for a while... like you said

Could be, post only a tiny fraction of my work so it wouldn't surprise me at all. Would tihnk though that even a narrow selection over time would show some change.

The future is in the past, though.

The future is later.
My friend owns a pool.
I don't vote.

[Feron]

i wish i had a pool.

i cant vote - i aint old enough yet 

[Panda]

I don't like pools, and I don't vote because I'm not living in my home country (Not to mention that I'm not in tune with politics at all... so meh).

Anyway, Ptoing is visiting and we've been playing Taiko no Tatsujin DS, pretty fun. 

[ndchristie]

Those were actually lines from freeloveforum - Coal.

My friend does have a pool though, it's bad for my blecahed hair (always makes it look a little green for  day)

Once i'm old enough to vote I'll register.  I'm just moving from RI to NY, so it's hardly like it matters (republicans aren't going to get the win any time soon).
