I invite everyone to check out the thread on my main page, the comments from some tool named Omar6. This guy looks through my inks and convinces himself that this stuff simply could not be done by hand. Its just "IMPOSSIBLE". He then goes on to lecture me about how digital is vastly superior to hand drawn art in every way right before calling me a liar, that I simply couldnt do this on REAL paper BY HAND. I dont know if I should be flattered or insulted. I flipped a coin and chose insulted. 
Im just so sick of these fucking kids who plug in a computer and think theyve discovered the secret of art. Theyre so busy running thier mouth and never seem to shut up and listen. Whats funny is that almost every single one of these types cant draw a straight line let alone illustrate....which, I suppose, is why theyre so enamored with a machine that allows them to pretend like they can.
This isnt an anti-digital rant. I think Ive made it abundantly clear here that I dont have anything against digital art as long as its not being used as a shortcut or crutch for the lazy. It just chaps my ass when douche bags like this come along and, since theyre utterly incapable of doing what you do, attempt to invalidate the whole process simply because they can not wrap their tiny brains around it.

REMEMBERING CHAD FULLER......
Hey peeps~
It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that one of our fellow Deviants, artists, and my friend, *Chadfuller (https://www.deviantart.com/chadfuller) passed away over the weekend after a lengthy and epic battle against cancer. I feel comfortable and yet a little strange writing what amounts to a memorial for him. A few people seemed to feel that I knew him best and asked that I write something. The fact of the matter is that I met chad here on DA a little over three years ago. I reached out to him when I heard about his struggles with cancer. His story reminded me a lot of what my dear friend, Michael Turner, had gone through. It was in Michael's me
Prayers for Chad.....
Hey peeps~
I just wanted to draw everyone's attention to my friend and feller DA'er, *Chadfuller (https://www.deviantart.com/chadfuller) . As some of you know, Chad has been waging nothing short of a heroic battle against a very rare and aggressive form of cancer that took his leg a couple of years back. Since then it's been a never-ending series of chemo' sessions and surgeries. Take out a tumor and two take its place. I've spoken to Chad regularly throughout his ordeal and not once have I ever heard him complain or express an ounce of pity for himself. I originally reached out to Chad when I heard about his cancer, a similar type that took my dear brother, Michae
Drink and Draw party at SDCC
Though I won't be attending the show, I wanted to put the word out about the big Drink and Draw party Saturday night. It's a huge Drink and Draw event, co-sponsored by Wacom! The event will be hosted By Boom Comic Shop, located at 835 5th Avenue, in the historic Wyatt Earp saloon and brothel building! The owner and proprietor is one of my best friends so be sure to give him a hard time if you see him. Go forth and drink....and draw.....and drink some more!
Best!

Wow sorry so late to the game. I can't believe he said that. Only a kid would something like that.Tell him to pick up House of M: Uncanny X-Men graphic novel. I'm a newbie to using a computer for some of the stuff that I do. I still prefer drawing by hand.(can't even draw a circle with the computer) And coloring using a computer. I don't feel that I even have the right to talk shit about somebody else work.
