The truth is out there .....(i think!), by jed100375 on Feb 6, 2008 12:12:21 GMT 1, Ok....Since I joined this site I have discovered an addiction that can only be compared with internet porn. I'm always on the site! This is a good thing! This is gonna sound really cheesy but since starting to stencil / paint 6 days ago its like I found exactly what I want to do in life. Although this may sound somewhat romantic or delusional its the truth. I go to bed trying to think of new ideas and whilst at work can't wait to get home to start cutting. I think all of a sudden I get it! This is largely due to all the support and advice I have received from the majority of people who have replied and encouraged me to improve by offering advice.
I've also discovered that this site seems to be like meeting a women you like in the early stages of a relationship. Never tell the truth in the beginning or wear your heart on your sleeve? To be honest I'm no good at either of these. I have always believed that you should do what you want to do and say what you want say.
Due to my lack of experience or formal training a lot of people have been pm-ing and replying to my threads saying that what I have produced with no training or knowledge makes a mockery of the site and the art movement in general. Has it not just proved that everyone has the ability to produce something that they are proud of. Even if I had not posted I would still be sitting at home feeling pleased with myself and I don't see that there is anything wrong with that. The fact that other people were kind enough to say they liked it was a huge bonus!
With this is mind I will continue to be honest, take criticism and post new pieces that are currently in my head.
.....and no! This is not the manuscript for 'Jerry Mcquire 2'

Dont worry Jed ;D
The world is full of very different people  some people seem to enjoy knocking others as if it makes them feel big or powerful being able to do it online, without the fear of comeback
Others enjoy being part of a friendly and forward thinking community thats open to different views and new ideas ;D So it just a matter of learning who's who ;D
