This site has soooo much art in it, one could browse for days and never stop finding something good.

That's one thing about the internet, especially "Web 2.0" as they call it. It's brought so many people together, people from all over the world who would otherwise never have known or apreciated each other, and I think that's a good thing.

Before I started reading Pokemon fan fiction, I had no idea the extent of people's creativity. And that's a fraction of fan fiction/fan art that's out there. Having had a look at all this stuff that even kids have been able to produce, some of it even more enjoyable than professionally produced material, I now have a much greater respect for people all over the world, and a deeper appreciation of what people can achieve.

Even from when I was still at school, I thought, why do we need to bother with art at school. They should teach only subjects with practical applications such as language, maths, science, etc. When I met me wife, she told me off and said that it's art that makes life worthwhile. Then I started noticing how nothing around us is plain. There is art everywhere, whether the pattern on the floor of your living room or the logo of your school/employer. Art is what makes the difference between a mundane life and an enjoyable one.

Which is why sites like this are so significant to many people.

Oh dear, I've rambled on. I actually typed this to let people know (perchance they don't already) that *MiyaToriaka has put together an awesome collection of AAML art: [link]


Have a nice day. (I'm sick at home with this post-viral problem. Gosh I miss karate.)
