I dont think I read were anyone insulted the photo-real paint jobs. The only thing I was reading was Yago not taking too kindly too complements, and then lashing out at anyone who didnt complement him. Self destructive behavior. Its kinda hard to support someone like that.
But ya, it is that simple. To each there own. My work has been insulted a few times, but I try not to let it effect me. There will always be someone who does not like what you do, no matter what. Its something one needs to accept in life. You cant please everyone. If you try, youll drive yourself mad and wind up pissing a lot more people off. Also, it dont matter how talented you are as an artist if your abrasive.
There is no "poor Yago" from me, after reading his post's. He did it to himself. Nuff said.
