I had a bad experience with deviantArt because so much of the art I saw wasn’t as good as mine and I wanted to be in good company-not a bunch of 7th grade level notebook scribblerdoodlers.
Snobbish? hell yeah.
Yes, sure everyone’s an artist/writer/painter/musician.Fine go ahead but suck is still suck and ignorance is still ignorance and it pains me when I see someone who has no respect for the ones who’ve gone before and have no respect for the titles they so easily give themselves.I guess it’s always been this way.
A friend of my dad told me about the Saatchi online gallery that lets anyone upload their work and have their own mini gallery hosted by them.
And so I saw that it’s the same kind of unmoderated/democratic system as deviantart’s…but a brief browse turned up some decent work, which allowed my snobby self to think that I wouldn’t be so ashamed to show my face there.
And when i tried to go the moderated route I just ran into a scam…ok maybe it wasn’t a scam but they did want me to pay 150 bucks to get signed up.And I wouldn’t do it.
