Re: Frau and Miss Cellania, sadly posts on the Septych had no clear and measurable jump. It aired here shortly after posted, but also appeared on several D.A. groups at the same time so sources are hard to gauge. The picture performed about about as well as my better drawings usually do, not half as well as some of my older ones. Had it jumped up to several hundred views at once I'd have been out checking, but even disregarding other promotions it's been under 10 a day. Maybe 100 additional views.

I've had two such experiences recently in which mega-epic scale blogs (Neatorama and Bits & Pieces) have posted my artwork or other works without any measurable effect on page views. I don't know if that's typical or if I'm the problem, or if it's some double fluke of the blogging world, which is certainly heavy with incomprehensible oddities of traffic flow and viral goings on.

It's irrelevant here though. I'm honestly thrilled to have been on Neatorama! I wish I'd known it at the time (I still have no idea how I missed it, I remember seeing the posts before and after it), it's a true honor and the closest I've had to my 15 seconds. It may have BEEN my 15 seconds... Certainly the biggest blog, the biggest following on or off the net to date to take notice of my work.

I'm sorry again if I tainted it, and sorry if I've been for a moment anything less than extremely grateful to Miss Cellania and others here. But please don't let that or the apparent slimness of results lessen my gratitude for having it here. "Results" couldn't be anything anyway compared to the experience of having my work on one of my favorite blogs.

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm sorry I didn't see it when it went up, I can't tell you how grateful I am or what an honor it is to be included on the site. Thank you!!!

I did miss that and so I must apologize profusely. I follow this blog very closely and have no clue how I could have missed my own work on it. Had I seen it I'd have sent as many thank yous as I did supplicant letters in the past.

I did beg for you to show my Tarot deck when it came out, for my webcomic when it came out, for my novel when that came out. A couple letters each, with another one just sent for that drawing only yesterday (So the evidence I missed it should be in your mailbox, or at least spam filter). All as polite as I knew how to write and often endowed with what humor I thought you'd enjoy. I admit I got more sparse and simple as time went on. I figured I was wasting your time in the end and hoped brevity might work.

But until that link I thought you'd never read a single note I'd sent, or read them and ignored them. So now I have to beg some serious forgiveness for such a snide remark when you had actually done all I hoped.

I hope you can forgive the bitterness of someone who thought he'd been rejected without a word. Or if not forgive, at least understand. And if not that, I really have no right to ask anything. You never owed me squat and as it turns out, you gave me exactly what I wished.

So I apologize again, truly, for whatever its worth to you. And because I missed it at the proper time, I hope you'll at least accept my gratitude. Thank you very much for posting it. You remain the only one who cared to. I'm so sorry the first thing you heard from me after was irrelevant bile instead of the kind words I'd waited to long, on so many fonts, to send.

Thank you.

Observer- What attitude will? I've tried quiet, laid back, polite, calm, supplicant, a whole lot of others and nobody ever clicked my name then, why shouldn't I try angry and frustrated? It worked for Allen Ginsberg and I have nothing to lose but obscurity.

Dang it Alice I want MY blankie...

It's a dull recut regardless but the internet is full of those.

What pisses me off is that after 20 years of creating original material, artwork, animation, film, a novel, a comic and much much more: After begging Neatorama to show my work over and over again and give me a foothold, a slim chance of getting it seen by someone outside of my own family- They post some idiot's poorly constructed edit of shots from 2001 to music.

If anyone reading this has ever wondered why Hollywood seems out of ideas, if anyone hates the heap of remakes and idiotic repetitious bull that constitutes art and entertainment these days, the above is your answer. My life's work is online for you to see. But you won't see it. I'll likely dwell in obscurity for life. All because your god damn aggregator sites would rather show you crap with no original content whatsoever beyond the unaesthetic conglomeration of things you've seen before. I could make films that would blow your minds. I never will, because this worthless drivel is all that gets seen and all that gets funded.

You people deserve the mindless remakes you've condemned yourselves to.
