If that is the case, then you can say that you don't like it because you don't understand it! Is it visually appealing to you, does is spark some thought or interest? Wig: In a sense, you are 100%. But, I would like to explain a little. First, I was a little insecure about this particular drawing because usually I start a drawing or print with a particular purpose/intent. The large drawing that this was cropped down from had that purpose, but this version doesn't. Second, part of what I create relates to the collective subconscious -- therefore I do appreciate the communal creation of art (sounds like socialism to me!), or at the very least, the communal opinion. And third, I honestly believe that art should be created for others, not merely as a masturbatory selfish expression of one's ego (that's abstract expressionism), but something that can be created for others to experience. And as some of you might know by now, this blog-site is up for Blog of the Year! So, keep those comments coming and we'll beat the competition!

Do you think my other drawings are stronger?" What is this, art by committee? You're a little too young for doubts to creeping in. Isn't that like a freshman art history class answer to "how do you feel about this painting or drawing" etc. "Uh, I like it." This one's gonna put a crimp in the blog of the year competition.
