So, apparently another good-intentioned, but unknowing, person reported our work as a miscat. Apparently, once AGAIN, they did this without understanding the problems with the galleries here at DA, or our artwork, and without looking at the other work in our gallery and how they are arranged.

I have to tell you, it's hard to maintain a zen attitude when surrounded by idiots.

Here's the deal, people. There isn't a category or gallery for the type of art we do. To be honest, it's not our responsibility to badger the help desk or admins to create a category for an art form that's as old as America. We figure they either get it, or they don't.
Therefore, when our work is interfered with, we will have to relocate or remove that work. We are professional artists, and know where to place our work. Then again, if we were getting paid to design and maintain the site properly, there would have been an artisan craft/painted furniture/tole painting/object painting gallery from the start, but we're not, and there isn't, so there we are.
So, once again, we're forced to state our position here. If we find someone abusing the miscat reports regarding our work, we will just have to ban them from our account.


UPDATE: 4-2-08

Well, they relocated my sea reef table again, into traditional art.
I ask again: ARE THESE PEOPLE BLIND, OR JUST STUPID?
It's painted on a table top, idiots. When I posted our sea reef divider screen, under traditional art, it got relocated to woodworking, even though the woodworking WASN'T THE POINT. Now, when I follow their supposed guidelines, again, it becomes an exercise in futility and aggravation. AGAIN. Do these fools even know that they are contradicting themselves? Of course not. Why? Poor management, and people who are gallery directors with no real experience in the job. I've been a gallery director, for a REAL FINE ARTS GALLERY, and this kind of behavior is exactly what you get when you let the monkeys run the zoo.
It's not an issue that is up for debate. It's my account, it's my art, and I have enough experience to know what category my work deserves to be in. Whoever is harassing us, PLEASE STOP. If you know who is reporting us, please let us know, so we can block their sorry ass.
In the meantime, I'm true to my word. The Sea Reef Sofa Table - Top Detail has been deleted from my gallery. Anyone who wants to complain to DA about this sort of amateur b.s. can be my guest. I've got furniture to paint.
