Tracing is Tracing, stop kidding yourself

Sat Feb 14, 2009, 1:29 PM
  • Mood: Outraged
Because of DA's stupid "Tracing is art and anyone can trace your artwork at any time without having to get permission or even credit you for your original work" policy. I've decided to pull all my artwork from this site.

If anyone wants to contact me (hey, it could happen), my myspace page is here.

We can talk about dinosaurs and cotton candy.

And by the way, Andy Warhol used found and traced images to DECONSTRUCT art and iconic imagery. He did not trace Campbell's Soup cans or Marilyn's picture and then sell them on a website claiming he drew them with his own two little hands.

Tracing and appropriation of art does indeed have it's place in art. A community of aspiring, fledgling, struggling, and successful commercial artists? Not that place. Not even close to that place.

Hello. A random visit to your page.
:work: I'm working on a school assignment and am tallying the probability of landing on a deviant's site multiple times on a purely random basis. Oh, as I stop here I will endeavor to look at your gallery, should I find something of interest I will duly comment.

:please: I hope you won't consider this stop an annoyance.

Your fellow deviant, qaviar
