Its funny how the only ones overreacting are those that would accuse me of going to do that and then joke about it by clearly making up things I never even said. Its trolling, plain and simple and you only got away with it because of my short absense. I've always said its fine if people want to share my work, only that they at least give a mention of who the work is by. Its something I think should be afforded to any and all artists, if possible.
I also said that if the person posting the work doesn't know who the work is by, but somebody else does, that someone should say something. Not just for the artist's benefit, but as a friendly service to others who may want to know where they can find more of that person's artwork and who they are. Bignorm did that, so theres no reason for others to be causing a commotion here over nothing serious.
Its actually very trivial and I'm more honored than peeved at any rate. In fact, what happened here, minus the trolling, is a perfect example of how it ought to be. It was never a complex or demanding suggestion to begin with. Its as simple as saying "hey, thats so and so's work" and leaving it at that, or giving additional information if people ask for it.
Its just as much a service to the unawares of our community as it is to the artists themselves. And I don't see why anyone would complain about something thats simple and benefits both. 🙂
I couldn't be more happy with how this went down, otherwise. 🙂
