Then we all lose, you just as much as I; however I'll stake my claim on the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. In doing this, I cannot go wrong, no?

I guess not! Could it be because the idea to advertise as such is rediculously stupid?

I don't know...I kinda like it. It definitely could be used commercially, but I'm assuming that's how you already earn your living?

…Then we all lose,...…

The word “lose” is highly subjective in this case. But lets just for the sake of argument here say that it is simply “correct” to say “we all lose” if there is no god. Then I would ask the question:

“why can’t reality be such that we inevitably all lose?”

……In doing this, I cannot go wrong, no?...…

You can go wrong -what if what you believe is not true?
-are you comfortable with the idea that you could go through your whole life believing a falsehood and then die never knowing the truth?
-I am certainly not comfortable with that idea -I find that idea a cold horrifying thought!

lol, my dear rgwinett, you bad ol putty cat, you have understood nothing, originality is the prime goal, all else is mere opinion and imitation! it is therefore impossible for me to emulate the great one, nor as the illustrious beetle has stated, to wield a weapon!

oh illustrious one! there is more divinity in you than you could possibly imagine! like the shell of a black beetle, initially it appears black, but when we look closely we see the spectrum of light, the rainbow reflected on its surface, even though the beetle himself is unaware of it!

Illustration is an art. Think of such greats as Gustave Doré, Maurice Sendak or Dave McKean. All happy to receive their royalty cheques, and why shouldn't they?

no, illustration is a skill or a craft, like making pottery, art is much more experimental and seeks to create solutions from conceptual ideas, for example there is a now famous Scottish artist jack vitriani, who paints those loathsome romantic pictures of couples on the beach with a violinist playing etc etc, this is illustration, but not art, for there is no intellectual content, although it may be argued that art in its very nature is designed to be decorative, as in the case of Mattise, but this was a direct intellectual act, not something of accident.

Black is the light of the vision of sorrow, whose virtue is the silence and its curse the greediness

Right, so Dore' wasn't an artist. Thanks for clearing that up.
