It started off innocently, and cutely, enough.
Background: a mother decides that her daughter's an artist. She makes a DeviantArt account. She puts up her four-years-old daughter's for view. People complained about the, well, scribblings.
Mummy dear retaliates!
Just in case of bahleetion, I'll paste the retaliation in all its glory:
Kahlyn's art is not only welcomed by DA it was FEATURED by DA. Kahlyn IS a 'real' artist, and I would thank all nay-sayers to find something better to do than pick on a 4-yr-old.
If you pick up a tool, and make something. It is art. Despite age, quality, ethnicity, political Lean, or any other discriminating factor, it is still art. It still means something, and it still comes from the heart.
4 million years ago, the oldest human ancestors pounded flower petals and minerals into paste, and drew stick figures on a cave wall, to document their lives, to save their stories, to make their souls immortal. That was "shoddy workmanship" but it was the beginning of everything you see here.
Every Artist begins somewhere, and whether or not this one was my daughter, from a strictly pyshological point of view these pieces are are deep. They bespeak love, and hurt, and life in simple honesty.
Your art does NOT do that. And if you are so stuck up as to think you are better then you have no right calling yourself an artist. If you can't pick up a Pen and draw your heart you have no buisness even reference art as a strongpoint, because it comes from noplace worth looking at.
If your so vain or so stupid as not to know that, than please don't waste anyone't time with your shallow narrow-minded idiotic banter. Art is art, no matter who makes it, and anyone who defines it by quality obviously doesnt remember the first time they picked up a tool and tried.
Takes the "MY child can do no WRONG!" parental delusion to a whole new level.
