The Woes of an Art Critic
filed in Book Artwork and Illustrations on Nov.15, 2010
Normally I don’t feel too sorry for any woes heaped upon critics, short of seeing them step off the curb to be hit by a bus.
However art critic Brian Sherwin has started a series of blogs offering insight on what artists do in an effort to bully, browbeat, or entice critics to give them good reviews. As such, these eye-opening blog posts are worth reading for anyone in the arts, whether singer, artist, or writer.
Two of the posts are already online with more to follow.

When not throwing stones at critics, Duncan Long creates magazine and book illustrations for HarperCollins, PS Publishing, Ballistic Publishing, Pocket Books, Solomon Press, Fort Ross, ISFiC Press, and many other publishers and self-publishing authors.

I went to Brian Serwin’s site, Duncan, and liked what I read. It’s refreshing sometimes to find integrity and a genuine angle. He gets beaten up for it of course, but he can take it on the chin, even though he likes being nice to people. Thanks for the link.
