Graeme, I don't know you from Adam. Why on earth would I attack you personally? Everything I said using the word "you", I can and do say using the word "I". Am I the best person to sell my own work? C'est tout. It was a simple thought and you've all gone and gotten your knickers into a twist. So, the spell it out in B&W: I never called you a hypocrit a fake a charlatan or any other term you may have deemed offensive. Maybe the OP to this entire thread was right, and you need a little more self-assurance in your own work and the way you talk about it? But as far as I'm concerned, my addition to the thread only revolved around how many consumeristic marketing principles can be applied to the Fine Art product. You were the counterpoint example of the artist/salesman in one. I believe they should be apart. Witness the Yann Arthus Bertrand machine, the Philippe Plisson machine, pretty much the entire approach brought on by french publisher La Martinière.
