letting it all hang out

I'll start. Here it is

have at it. let me know what you think. I don't have a title yet for it.
 I'll start. 
I like the mood, but I don't like the weird bloby shadow, with it's tentacle like bits coming off. Wait maybe i like that now.  I like tentacles and it adds to the creepiness  What do you think? I think the shadow looks like a blob and not a shadow. 

Now contact me so I can let you be an 'Author' to post your work and let folks critique it. 
All you need is a Gmail account, which is free. sure they spy on you, but hey, what are ya gonna do? 

In the beginning

Welcome to The V. A. Shit Slinger!

The Idea: A place for artists to post their artwork and get criticism back.

1. Those artists who wish to post their work are agreeing to also criticize the work of others posted on the site on a simi regular basis.

2. This blog is for artists who want honest feed back. This isn't for those looking for pats on the head.  or even promotion of their work. Those posting their work will understand that folks will be encouraged to state what they really think about it. And as most of us have gone through art school and lots of critiques we realize that this is not a personal attack but an honest discussion of art and the world around us. Trolling, personal attacks and advertising will be removed.

3. If one comments that they do or don't like something they must attempt to say why.

4. I'm also going to encourage the participating artists to post and critique art shows they have seen. However, work not open to the public shouldn't be posted with out the artists' permission.

5. The general public may post comments and critiques.

6. Please try to post work so there is one work per post.  That way when one is commenting we know which work they are talking about

7. Want to be an artist able to post art and receive critiques? email me jeanineleclaire@gmail.com

8. This is the beginning  Rules will change. Tittles will change. I expect the same type of criticism about the blog as with the art.
