I'm posting in response to the Oct 28 broadcast posting of quatrofolio. The posting says:
"Visit Marian Bantjes portfolio for the beautiful, crazy illustrative flourishes and patterns. You can skip the art, design and photo sections."
I agree that the illustrations are great, but I'm wondering why petter says to skip the art, design, and photo sections. It may not be trendy painting, or trendy design, or trendy photography, but it's definately well done and artistic work not deserving to be ignored. I may have got the wrong impression from petter, it just really irritates me when trendy designers don't accept other styles of art, design, or photography. Illustration seems to be accepted in any form.

Thanks for your comments. Glad you like the rest of her work. I don't, simple as that. It has nothing to do with 'trendy'. I really liked her illustrations, I would not have posted her design, art or photo work since it's not interesting to me. There was a thread here yesterday named 'petter' that dealt with a similar issue, but I guess it was deleted.

I totally agree with you gavinnosler. I thought the same.
It's a question of respect, very simple. Obviously this guy (Peter or whoever..) don't know a shit about that.Peter: just post the link if you want, but I will decide to skip or not this or that :) Did you think how could the author feel after reading that stupid post?
I'm very tired of many self proclaimed gurus of design.

Agreed. Petter, you could have just written out how much you liked her illustration. And skip the 'dissin' part.

don't dismiss styles you dont understand. although its different for everyone, you should respect it all nonetheless.

I think Petter is a wittle cranky. Petter needs a hug, and some hot cocoa.
...and needs to be less cynical. especially when linking sites like http://www.doylepartners.com/
what are you talking about?

I met a guru of photoshop at the local Compusmart, he told me that photoshop couldnt use anymore than 256 meg of ram in windows....
