Thee Months In

Michael - you could resolve this yourself: people have alleged you're just directly copying and posting others' images; only you can disprove that, by sharing your methods and sources with us.  Everyone else on this site has been fully prepared to do that: Skylar Brown, Eric Marioneaux among others, have "shown their workings", as it were.... both are digital artists, both have produced work by more traditional means; I could show you my paints and brushes; and try to explain where I get my (rather few) ideas from - it really is all you need to do to put a stop to the controversy your work has aroused; I don't see the discontent dying down otherwise, at least not before we've lost members we can ill-afford to lose.  A bit of cooperation from you would show respect for other gallery users.
