I don't usually bother with drama here on this site, but this caught my eye, thanks to the journal of someone I watch: chix0r.deviantart.com/journal/…
I'm baffled as to why the topic of tracing as Art is even being debated, but I'm disgusted and saddened by the mocking and disrespectful tone of the Director of Community Operations, who could be setting a good example but isn't.
Ugh.
Edit: The Great and Exalted Shepard Fairey is taking a bit of heat for tracing, it would seem... news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090204/a…

Just sneaking back in here to see...
...if this is still a place I want to be.
(Looks like one or two things have changed around here! It'll be interesting to look around again after a few years.)
It's been a long time...
I continue to make art, but it's sporadic (sadly.) Maybe that will change as I slide slowly into retirement.
However..! I'm on Tumblr, so if YOU are, consider following me! http://altese.tumblr.com
Another quote!
“Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it.”
Do you think that's true? Or not? Sometimes? All the time?
I really like this quote.
Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide whether it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.
While they're deciding, make even more art.
--Andy Warhol

I'm not sure I understand this whole tracing debate. Only problem I see is if you take credit/or don't give credit for art that isn't yours. Happened to me a couple time here, but when I brought it up credit was given to my original.
I agree that tracing is a great teaching tool. I did it for many years growing up. There's something about tracing a master artists work and see it coming from your hand. I think it helps you see into their work and process. At the very least copying teaches a lot. That's an old fine art tradition, to copy a Rembrandt, or Picasso, etc.
I can only think that this debate has somehow stressed out chix0r.
