Kowtow not to the False god of conformity
Published on October 21, 2015 By Stramp In Community

Who wants to be a target??? Be different? Oppose the status QUO. Do you think your artwork will be incorporated with the NEW AGE system. Only if they can make a BUCK.Even if your on the edge they will use you to further their ends. One minute it was KOOL to  embleish their works which they weren't capable of. Now we must bow down to conformity and OBSCENE repetitive grotesque ( a style of decorative art characterized by fanciful or fantastic human and animal forms often interwoven with foliage or similar figures that may distort the natural into absurdity, ugliness, or caricature of vulgar and mundane) It is an obscenity to our conscienousness to allow this and not speak up to the point of giving in because WHAT's the Use??? Who am I to think I can make a change? I am ME. We can all sit back and say I did this and I did that, but the real test comes when you are there to say I not here for pats on the back I am here for what I  believed in and wanted imagination to be passed on. If we are that old and tired then wouldn't be better to go out in flames and be a REAL role model than be a PUSS. We get tired and say whats the use but that's what they want. They want to annilolate any thought of creativity. They want conformity.I came along as a NOBODY, no experianece, no knowledge, no money, no software and some unselfish souls took me in and here I am. I would be a traitor to let them down and not show them their time was not wasted. I only had the hope of I want to do as they were doing, to create and give back and grow the community. I have seen the community splinter and disappear and become divided. I will not disappear, I will be a force, I will be imaginiative even if others don't like it, They miss my point in my art. NOT everything in life is flowers, we must take the bad and turn it to good. We fear the bad and face it not, forgetting to see the beauty in life and ensuring it for our apprentices. Who is a MASTER? And who fashions the future? It's in your actions that you are known. This is gonna get me in alot of trouble But, That's life.  Kudos for those of you who buck the SYSTEM! 

 

OK here it comes

Line breaks are your friend.....and ours. Big blocks of text are a pita to read.

What the Wiz said and also larger font.

You do know you are dealing with old boomers ( not bumpers)...getting close to 70 and more.

Can't read small print, fine print is totally out of the question even with glasses and magnifier.

So John, please give us a break, if you are going to write a book, please make it easy to read!

Yea I need a magnifying glass too! Don't know how I wrote it! LOL.

MS did give us Ease of access (magnifier)or the Windows Key

Sorry Barb I am nearsighted and have Mopia so yes I overlooked that!

It's just MS pisses me off and it filters down into communities. You can't do this, you can't do that anymore. Phase everything inventive out and incorporate a computer generated scheme devoid of feeling. Some of us old buggers jus don't want to go quietly into the night. And why does concerned have to do with weird we are all a little weird that's normal. Sorry for the big block was just not trying to take up a whole page. And Jim I thought my rant was telling how I felt. I was jus in a mood remembering past friends and sites. Sorry

Well, I must be getting old myself, because I have absolutely no idea what the heck anyone is even talking about in this thread.

 No need to apologize John, it is your rant and we all hear you and all concur I bet also... well except for Tom who seems to be one of the lost ones...   so much sadness, it is good to be silly, to play, to pretend, to rant...and yes I remember the magnifier thingy, but I lost it someplace...
