Im really loving this site! :D
When Iwas at uni a few years back I was kind of isolated, people thought my work was 'sick' and I had some stuff stolen too. Nobody bothered to ask what it was about and why I was doing it.
We had to display work in our spaces so tutors could see we were doing stuff but I couldnt have any of mine on display coz I was getting too much shit for it. Not from the tutors, they were great, but from fellow artists! I was one of the only people producing stuff like that, they were mainly older ladies doing nice stuff, like water colour sea scapes etc. Im so pleased to see Im not alone, your all sick in the head too!!
