Housecleaning!

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 27, 2012, 5:16 PM
Need to clean up the ol' gallery
Those of you who are my watchers and have perused my gallery know that at the moment there are a lot (a LOT) of pictures in there. And with the exception of Danny Suling, who looked at all 650-some images to provide his excellent critique, I doubt most people have the stamina to go through every picture. And of course I have improved (I hope) over the years as well. So I have made a list of about 150 images, mostly older ones, that I am going to delete. I hate to lose all the nice comments that people attached to them, but if people run out of steam going back in time to look at the older images, the comments won't be seen anyway. Except by me! And I do enjoy reading them. :)  Anyway, I just wanted to give my watchers a heads-up, since I know I've been disappointed to see something I fav'd vanish with no warning. Not sure how soon I will do this, but probably in the next week or two. (And thank you all again for your nice comments and feedback on my work!)

Two images I like because of the bright colors:

I did delete seven or eight of the oldest images. But I took the suggestion someone had of making a separate folder to hold them instead of deleting them. So the other hundred or so are all there. :)

hmmm I'm sure I have the originals of the handful I took off of dA. But really, those were the worst of the bunch, stuff that wasn't very good. They only had a couple of comments each, so nobody else thought much of them either, lol! But putting all the rest in the Older Works folder seemed like a better idea, that way they weren't lost. Not all of them are old, I put a few more recent works in there too that I felt just were not up to my current standards. So maybe I should rename the folder, "Works Not Quite As Good As Everything Else." :D

I have just discovered your work for the first time and would be really upset not to see your ealier work, deleting seems a little rash. A folder named early works would be kind to the people who originally commented and newcomers who are interested in the entirity of such a artists work :)

I don't really understand why you feel you need to delete anything. DA has plenty of room, I would think. Please don't do it if it's just some inner urge to "clean up", OCD or anal retentiveness. I enjoy your work and would like to think it's got a place to be for a long, long time.
