I had a painting once that someone had damaged. It was originally a bunch of guys playing poker and someone put dogs' heads on all of them.

Shouldn't you be drawing saleable artwork instead of depictions of mangy rodents that invite chain saw massacretion?

Yay for free-thinking, free-spirited mountain lions everywhere who know bad art when they see it!

Make that horrible art.

Make that mange-ridden art.

Make that non-saleable :twisted: art.

Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.

I'm hoping the ES art will appreciate after the death of the artist as well. :mrgreen:
