I guess we artists are forever looking for recognition, comes with the box of paints. Same with writers, actors and I suppose everybody else. But Skylar, you of course deserve the recognition, and then some.
What this forum and communication on the internet in general has taught me is that it's really easy to draw the wrong conclusions from reading posts with the wrong inflection, especially with humor or giving feedback. And sometimes no feedback at all can be taken as a rejection on both sides of the posts.
This MOARA museum was created by Oranelima (Dr. Lima), I believe, to frame not just the art as an art form, but celebrate the artist's hand. And in the museum context it produced the most amazing effect. . . like Wow!
Putting together tributes for others has been totally casual and off the cuff. Never because of votes. It's a gift from some exceptionally friendly people who took their time to perform this kindness. Schedules being brutal in this world, I would guess we're all sorta busy with our day to day stuff, and unfortunately it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.
Mate, your work rocks. You certainly deserve it, without a doubt. I'm very glad Coops made happen in a grand way what the rest of us were probably thinking all along, that we admire your work and appreciate your continuing to delight us with your fine offerings. The museum suits ya.
High time, too. Congrats, my dear chap.
