Joshua is a nice guy, I had the pleasure to meet and hang out with him and others at Flash Forward in london years ago and at the Dreamless underground event.
I think creative review are just being a bit wanky, the article was probebly written by a fan of print design rather than interactive design i bet. It's absolute FACT that the best music and art of the world comes from chaos rather than from planning or following rules so it really doesnt bother me at all that Joshua creates his artworks from random scripts. Makes the work even more wonderful.
You can't knock the guy, he was a major influence on a generation of web designers like myself - leading the way with his flash toys and experiments that he even gave away for free.
- joshuas work is rarely interactive now - he does generative artfadein11

Creative review is a boring pile of shite with more ads in it than content.

the comments section is where all the action is.
". but let me ask you... if what I do is so easy... why am I one of only a few doing it ? If what I'm doing has brought me a great portfolio of clients... speaking at conferences around the world, each month, since 1999... write ups in magazines... and if it is truly so easy... and I'm not really a good designer... then how have I fooled everybody for so long ? What am I going to do ?... because just last month I got an e-mail from WACOM... seems I've fooled them too. I just finished a cover for Computer Arts Magazine... the cover.... what fools... seems like I've fooled them to.
please e-mail me the answers Holli... please. If I'm such a horrible designer and a complete egotistical asshole... how have I been able to CON people for so long... and the next thing I want answered is... if it's so easy and has brought me success... then why isn't everybody doing it ? seems like an easy road to fame and fortune."

I didn't think what the guy said in the article was so off base. He's a critic/ columnist and he gave his opinion. A little snarky maybe but fuck it, that's his job, to say what he likes and doesn't like.

I like his work, some people seem to get really worked up about it though, weird.
I dont really get into shepard faireys work but I dont feel angry that hes doing well with it.

That IS funny...not sure why he would even bother responding to posts like that.
So anyone know how much Mr Praystation commands for one of his speaking engagements?
