I'm just about collaged out.>>>So where does it stop, if no one brings the subject up? All I could see was this message board becoming completely wallpapered with collages! What does that tell anyone who comes to this site? A bunch of strange folk, who only look at pics of Brian Jones, and then make much the same comments on every new collage perhaps? The regulars eventually would just give up on the board, while the lurkers (many of whom would like to see this board screw itself), would be laughing their cha cha's off! And what about attracting new posters? How many of them would spend the time to bother and see if the board has anything else to offer? Perhaps this board and Brian Jones never did have much else going for them besides a mass of colorful pix!!!<<<<

I must admit I find it mildly distressing to see Brian Jones reduced to this recurring circus/cartoon like theme on the main board.>>>>Brian Jones life ended in a blaze of nothingness. Many of the pics you show (and indeed feel the need to embellish), convey this pain. The pain of a gifted genius, then and even now, publically ridiculed. His soul sliced to the bone and laid bare for a whole host of vultures to pick over. Indeed, a freak in a circus show. A cartoon character for all and sundry to laugh at. Reason enough to feel mildly distressed for this unfortunate boy?<<<<

I'm not being mean, just making an observation that an exclusive collage thread might have been more fitting for those who wish to observe Brian in this way.>>>>Just as I did for Old Spice's Souk, I made a valid suggestion for you to go and open Linda's Gallery Thread, where you could let your creative juices run wild. Perhaps you may have found some willing students to show off their creativity. It could be a gas bringing hidden talent to the fore. Maybe my inventiveness falls on deaf ears, or you are too scared to try something out of the ornery!!!<<<<

It also allows for a degree of sensitivity to exist to those of us who don't want to observe Mr.Jones in a stark, in yer face way.>>>>Can I take it that your hurt feelings care not to consider my and others sensitivity?<<<

No offence intended to y'all, especially dear luvverly Linda.>>>>All in all, it don't bother me how many collages or whatever you choose to put wherever you choose. I didn't criticise the quality of your work. It's just not my type of art, so I have no critique to put forth. But that wouldn't stop me putting your work, both collages and your drawings on Brian's grave as and when I thought fit, and where I think it would work very well.<<<<
