much-needed

Thu Jan 13, 2005, 1:18 AM
Most of my gallery has been moved to scraps.

If I ever stop being a recluse and leave the house again, I'll post more pictures.

Still no writing up here -- I am too suspicious of idea theft, I fear.

hello

Chocobo -- My name is pronounced CLAYR-ah, with the "clar" rhyming with "dare." I frequently get the german "klahra" as well, or the similar spanish "clahra" with rolling R's. I am very fond of all three, and will answer to any. I rather wish that my name were officially pronounced one of the other ways, as that would probably reduce the confusion that I feel whenever people use the word "clarify" or "clarinet." I hear the "klayr" sound and automatically feel as if they are addressing me.

so maybe thomas jefferson wasn't born in your back yard like you have said...
:iconchocobodragon:
Wow... I really like your photography style and the cat photos are so kawaiiXD
Btw, how do you pronounce Clara? And do people always pronounce it wrong??
:iconpussinboots:
Hey, thanks for that well-thought out comment. :) Yours alone made up for two other bizarre ones where I think the person typing was actually huffing paint thinner.

Hullo. Thanks for the comment you left on my piece "Malice in Wonderland." Or I guess it was a nice comment? I'm not sure. If you are saying that I borrowed characters then I did not. I do not even know who Johnny the Homocidal Maniac is, and if you look again at Alice from Burton's film, she doesn't match the way my character looks. If I wanted to copy Burton's character I simply would have, take a look at the structure in which I drew my character's hair and body as opposed to Burton's before saying such crap - if it was negative. The fact that a zillion people have drawn Alice in Wonderland pictures is not my fault also. I'm an artist and I can draw what I wish - period end of story. And yes, my Alice in Wonderland work is original, where else do you see Alice work with a bunny's guts hanging out? So the comment , "I guess, and the seemingly obvious borrowings from other artist's jarred me a bit" is rather frustrating to me. That's like looking at your photography and me saying, wellllll 235,323,542 people have taken photos of cats, what makes yours original or special? People can express themselves how they want. If I took your comment the wrong way then I apologize for my negativity, if I took it the right way then no I do not apologize at all. Everyone can have their own opinions but don't say I borrowed characters from ppl I don't even know and characters that don't even look like mine. You have a nice day, thanks.

I am not sure why you replied here instead of replying to the comment. As this has very little do to with my photos and all to do with your art, would you mind if I deleted it in a few days? You could copy/paste it into a reply to my comment. It seems much more fitting.

I'm sorry if my comment came off as offensive -- I didn't intend it that way. I'm told that I sometimes come off sounding somewhat bitchy and/or snobbish when I don't intend to. I am very sorry for upsetting you. I am sure that you would never copy anyone's ideas or art, and I didn't intend to insinuate that you did. I simply commented -- perhaps a bit too strongly -- on several things which your piece reminded me of. I meant it more as a musing on originality and how hard it is to come by while painting established characters. However, I must say that I actually *have* seen paintings of Alice and a murdered white rabbit, though it's been so long that I couldn't tell you the artist. It was either here or elfwood or another similar art site, I can't recall which. " Evil" alice pictures were actually quite common after the Wonderland (I think was the title) computer game came out. So, while your painting is quite skillful and original itself, the concepts that it's based on aren't. But I guess that's the whole point of art. Taking old concepts and putting new spins on them. I was wrong to put such emphasis on it. Please do accept my apologies.

And about the comparison to my cat photographs... well, you'd probably be right. It would be a good point. ;)
