sure ok i agree, it's offensive on several levels. but i assumed the stereotypical images and ebonics were tongue in cheeck. and in the same vein as the humor we see young black comedians/entertainers performing about themselves anyway. bad taste sells these days. XD
but more offensive than swastika art??? i don't think so. just my opinion :o)

I second that.

I second that.

yes all of my tiles are offensive , i've done 10 on this and all of them seem to be offensive..

so i guess your point was correct .. heh =/

and i draw my tiles ALL by hand , unlike 60% of the other tiles i've seen on here.. where people take pictures and blur them , or use filters and slap it in there...

but if my tiles offend you then i get a sense of accomplishment from it.
and i'm glad it offends you.. art is supposed to stimulate/express emotions , feelings , and thoughts... obviously its working..

you're right, not all your tiles are offensive [actually, i believe only 3 of them are], but this site is not about taking a stand against "the man." There is time and place for controversial are but from what i understand at least this section of ice isn't it.
one thing is to create controversial art, another is to creat controversy for the sake of controversy, and it's this sensationalism of yours that i do not approve.
as for your comment about making the tiles, i've been using a mouse for most of my tiles, only my latest two tiles [neither is showing as of yet] have been drawn on a tablet. and if you look around in completed quilts [not noob quilts] you will find that most tilers really do put a lot of effort into their tiles than just "take pictures and blur them , or use filters and slap it in there... " whereas when your tile is of poor quality you just slap an offending title on it and claim it to be a highly valuable ppiece of self expression. so i guess i am not offended by your tiles, i am simply not a fan of your attitude to art.

oh and if you want i can criticize your tile without even mentioning the "controversy": the kfc bucket is centered, your borders are poor, and you used a solid orange background which makes your tile flat and uninteresting.

whats funny is you haven't the slightest clue , heh , not once did i draw a tile to spark controversy , i draw tiles to contribute... but i'm glad your a mind reader and know my exact intentions.. heh.

as for the "centered" bucket and etc , thanks for the tips , since i'm NEW to tiling that helps me out a bit..

as for you saying you used your mouse "mostly" on this tile.. http://tiles.ice.org/tiles/quilt_283/23596.jpg i noticed you just used some pictures of people and shaded them black and white.. in a spot or two.. heh my tiles might currently be crappy , but i'll never stoop to chopping up pics to throw in my tiles ..

if you would have looked at the description if the quilt you're referring to, you could have read this: "This is a special 90% photo-manip-collage. This means that about 90% of your tile should be a manipulation of photos in a collage."

thanks. and even then you'll notice that these images had to be tied together.
