Jen arguing with strangers on the internet.....

Kim: I have studied, discussed and seen a lot of art in my life. It varied greatly in style and approach. This is not art. 

Jenny: Wow Alysha Farling I guess you aren't an artist after all. Hmmmf. Imagine that. Way to go dream killer Kim. In all seriousness, just b/c you do not like it doesn't mean it is not art. Not liking it is fine...being stuck up is something else. Back to you "expert".

Alison: Well, art is whatever the artist says it is, in Dada speak.

Justin: Agree with this comment.

Matt: Looks like a pile of garbage..

A Far Away Land: thats because

A Far Away Land: ...it is

Kim: Jenny Actually you know NOTHING about me or my art work. I am an accomplished artist, who has supported themselves both via my own commissoned art sales and instruction. If you had read my comment closely you would have seen that I DO consider a wide variety of approaches to art to be valid, but "just because I want to" isn't now, nor has it ever been a founding tool for art. Any art major, historian, or critic can tell you that! And yes, there are good art critics out there. You are such an expert? By the way I NEVER used that term in application to myself -- you threw that out there -- how about you post some pics of your expert work here? Idiot. All these people who think that 'just because they had an idea' they think it makes them artists.

Jenny: Kim I am not an artist and if I was I would hardly feel the need to seek out your approval. I do think it is arrogant and pompous to shit all over someone's art b/c you do not like it, especially a local artist who is very likely to see/read you acting like a snobby brat. There are many forms of art I do not care for, some I find ugly but that hardly means I feel inclined or righteous enough to go around and tell people what is art and what is not. I have seen this woman's most recent exhibit in person, it was really interesting and quite intricate...quite enjoyed the bizarre nature of it, not everyone's cup of tea I am sure - I called you an 'expert' since it seems only an 'expert' on a subject would be so bold as to feel he or she was educated and experienced enough to make such sweeping judgments about what is considered art or not. There is no point in arguing what is art and what is not but I can think you are an ass and you can think I am an idiot and the world keeps spinning.

Eric: Hardly constructive criticism Kim. Honest yes but it's difficult to understand your intent here? On another note. I'd like to see your work! Post please!

Kim: Hi Eric. Don't you find it interesting that unless you say that every last thing that is put out there is 'wonderful' somehow you are being (in my case) a bitch. Everything out there isn't fabulous -- the effort always is -- and that I did allude to, but people should know if their work is on the right track or not. Same for musicians who can't play well, or would be chefs who can't cook well, or accountants who are inherently bad at math. Unlike sanctimonious Juenny JJ who basically thinks I am a POS, I DID NOT say the person behind the posted picture is a bad person and should not continue to attempt making art pieces. And that is (tantamount) to what I am being accused of. If people are always told every little thing they do is amazing -- they are in for a big shock if they hope to make a living doing what they love. It is not a favour to people. And I would still be curious to see other work by the same person! Perhaps there is an alternate direction taken which is wonderful and it might benefit them to know that! As for posting pieces of my work here, I used to post images online on social media boards but no longer do. I apologize for that, but now I only send roughs and proofs to ongoing clients. I no longer post anything on line as I have had too many pieces copied and sold as others peoples original pieces.

Eric: Again....... Productive. Advice..... Nobody gets ahead with such negative energy. Also glad Alysha's work impacted you and so many others to comment! I figure that was her goal

Jenny: I never said you were a bitch or a POS. I said it was stuck up, pompous, arrogant, etc to make such a claim. I have no idea if you are a bad person or not, it is not really my concern. I think your comment came across like you thought you were some sort of authority. I think art is too subjective to have such rigid ideas about what "it" is and isn't. Let's move on now....

Kim:  Jenny Yes, you should move on now. How about going and bothering some of the other people who commented here who were just as unflattering, but did that clever little trick where they write things as though they are only joking! I at least had the balls to stand behind my honest opinion. And while art may be subjective, bad art still stands out.

Jenny: Bad manners & rudeness stand out too Kim. Enjoy your day. J

Donna:  Jenny / Eric, its the fact she leaves it behind thats the problem , would you be find with her art in your yard , all the power to you an your thoughts on art but do you have to leave it after yourt done is my issue..

Jenny: We all leave stuff behind. I know she finds a very large portion already as garbage & how she treats it after is not really what we are talking about here. It is her responsibility to handle that, I would not assume she just leaves it on the side of the road to anger people like yourself.
