Maybe this is part of the british disease as some would like to call it.
In my opinion, once something has entered the public domain, everyone from the young and the old, the rich and the poor, all have an opinion whether you like it or not.
Critisism and enquiry are healthy debate (as long as you do it with respect). And opinions, however frivolous, may help you see things from a slightly different perspective and help you 'grow'. So let's stop the back-slap-a-thon and have some (constructive) critisim.
...cos that's what makes nt great!

"what do you mean? why would you send me stuff you don't like ? why would you send me stuff that required my validation ? if you love it then we love it".
I wish all my clients were like that....crap I wish all my clients were as cool as TOOL.
Art is so subjective....Josh at first I didn't really like the prints, or any new BMW design. They're different than anything I've ever seen. I'm sure when we all rip it off a few hundred times it will grow on me.
Although I didn't like the prints I have to give you props for grabbing the attention of BMW, TOOL and any other huge client that allows you to do what you love to do.

(Feb 22 06, 08:06)I totally agree. I was told there's also a secret newsletter exchanged by the known names because of the hostilities in the public forums.

"mogo - rock on brother.
a few thoughts...
1. go read Ayn Rand - the fountainhead - there's this great moment when Ellsworth Touhey pulls Howard Roark aside after writting a horrible article about him. and he says... Roark tell me what you think of me and what I've done to you... and roark replies... "but I don't think of you"
honestly comments whether good or bad - don't really matter to me. What I do have is a close net of peers and friends that I bounce ideas off of - but mostly I have an honest love and belief in the things I make - whether for myself or for clients - and when people do hire me this is what they get - passion.
A few months back I sent over some sample artwork to TOOL and I phoned Adam, the guitarist and ask him what he thought -- he replied "what do you mean? why would you send me stuff you don't like ? why would you send me stuff that required my validation ? if you love it then we love it".
and I realized that if I loved... I mean truly loved the work that I was doing... then that was all that mattered and it would show.
after the fountain head... go read Napoleon Hill's "think and grow rich" the only true obstacles are the ones we place in front of ourselves - and if I stay positive and have faith in my work - then good things will happen.
and then people on this board wonder why I get great jobs. and people on this board will sometimes complain and have negative comments about others and the work they create - why would anyone want to hire someone who complains about others ?
in the fountainhead someone looks at Roark's work and says... who's going to let you build these types of buildings ? and Roark replies... "who's going to stop me?"
I love what I do.
I love my clients
my clients love me.
I love my family.
I love my friends and peers.outside of that... this is all just talk.
thanks for the continued comments.

this is an inspiring thread
sometimes i forget to honor my own satisfaction, when i feel the weight of graphic design being a "service" pursuit

don't feel bad for agreeing with me. everyone does to a degree. they just won't admit it. just call it the shampoo bottle up the ass of perception.

question about head and sholders:
is it referring to the tingling sensation that you'll feel on your shoulders or should hair? why not head and underarms?
