I never said we were serious artists, I said that icon making can be seen as a much lower form of art.

And honestly, some of the stuff that get art gallery showing isn't the Mona Lisa either.

I'm pointing out that some people put time and effort into making their icon. I never said that everyone else had to. I like it, it's fun. I don't consider myself an artist but when I spend five minutes making one icon and ask for credit (as is standard in icon comm) I like to get it.

It's a simple concept really, you don't want to give someone credit don't take their icon. Make one yourself, find an icon maker that doesn't ask for credit, don't use an icon. It's a generally accepted concept on LJ.

If you don't want to agree with that, it's fine. You don't want to see it as any form of art, that's fine. It's still a hobby that takes time. Some people agree, some people don't.

	I don't think "art" gets lower than icon-making. It's 2 minutes spent using pre-made filters and text in a program any idiot can learn in extensively 2 hours or less. That's like the fellow who put his fecal matter in containers and sold them. Heck, self-righteous icon makers who demand credit and take themselves seriously are far worse. (Reply to this) (Parent)
