	... Did he just compare himself and these posts to Roman Polanski and Michael Jackson getting accused of child molestation? Or am I hallucinating? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Comparing himself to Roman Polanski is particularly bad. He wasn't just accused, he was convicted of drugging and raping a teenage girl, then fled justice for decades and deliberately downplayed the severity of his crime. On second thought? Actually an apt comparison, but for all the wrong reasons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And he admitted it himself in his own autobiography, so "Oh The Man just made him plead guilty" doesn't work, either. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I wish you were hallucinating. They are NOT people anyone should to compare themselves to. Ever. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Those are certainly odd choices. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It's like he's admitting he was in the wrong, but that's okay because people still like his work. Or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's actually a bit worse. He's saying he's a rare talent and people will still love his work even if he is a total creepster. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	platedlizard 2010-01-16 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	And he's probably right. Ugg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seeing as some of his Harry/Ginny art is up for a couple of awards (and he's in the lead in one category), I'd have to agree. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Frick, I just realized I have one of his fanart on my HD, never realizing it was his. I liked it ;_; (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No, you're right. It has nothing to do with that artist's personality or history. Thomas Kinkade's art isn't beautiful cause it's trite crap. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I saw that. :( I'm fairly pissed off about the Ginny one, since it looks exactly like those other prints that were shown to be clear ripoffs of celeb pics. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magnolia_mama 2010-01-17 02:55 am UTC (link)
	I agree, but you know what really bugs me about them? They *both* look very derivative - downright imitative, even - of Leela Starsky's art. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lyras 2010-01-17 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	You're right - the Leela Starsky influence is especially noticeable in the What Need piece IMO. Bah! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man he is toe to toe with Glockgal in the Ginny section. Glockgal is SO IMMENSLY talented. This is upsetting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lyras 2010-01-17 08:19 am UTC (link)
	I nominated Glockgal for that particular award if I remember correctly. I will be extremely pissed off if she loses out to Than the piss-artist. :( (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I voted for her. She's drew me bunnysuit!draco! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There are ways to take the sting out of it, or maybe give yourself awful new associations. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, I don't think he's sending the message he wants to send, there. (Reply to this)(Parent)
