Drgs, No, if I was doing that, I wouldn't be showing you a mediocre word, drawn to be as mediocre as possible. My question was whether it was unwise to put it on my homepage.
I do often post drawings up here to invite comments, but in my experience well meaning compliments don't provide anything worthwhile or costructive. What really helps me, and anyone else for that matter, is hearing the negative things. Negative criticism can often confirm one's own concerns and help to move things forward and improve. Compliments however, don't tell anybody anything constructive. They just make everything seem 'nice' for a short while.
On this occasion though the question was "is it dumb to greet visitors with the word 'mediocrity'?" not "what do you think of my drawing?"
