sorry didn't mean that.. I love contemporary art hehe...
It dsnt matter if other people have done it! it's unique because:
A. It's the first time you've done it!
2. you say so!

Always have confidence in your art, if someone tells you it's crap and unoriginal tell them: you're crap and unoriginal! Why do you think Tracey Emin is so famous? for making a messy bed with some panties on it? is that unique? don't think so... But she has confidence in her work...(don't like her, think her art is crap but that's just my opinion )
I'd like to see some of your work I'm curious! and never give up.. perfection in art is just around the corner.. besides who said you've never made anythign perfect? I'll be the judge of that

Good point. I guess if you think of the whole making of art as an event in itself then this is pretty important.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't been ridiculed or anything, just had a bit of a crisis of confidence. But yeah I'll post pictures when I have something finished (just started a new project).

obvious one, but have u looked at picasso's distortions?

Max Beckmann distorts his figures in his paintings.

Frank Auerbach is a great painter that distorts his subjects.

Alberto Giacometti distorts.

Leon Kossoff distorts in the same way as Auerbach does.

Ernst Ludvig Kirschner distorts.

Modigliani distorts his figures.
