Linkbane,
I'll admit communication skills are probably at the ass end of my skillset. I was just curious why you mentioned that ultimately aesthetics govern your decision to buy artwork, but in the same statement you state that you guess others (who are a minority) buy for other reasons.
It just seemed... wishy-washy? ah it really doesn't matter. To you Clacks are aesthetically more appealing and therefore more meaningful even more creative and I can respect that.
There are a few caps from a variety of cap makers which I respect for either color or contour/shape which is as good a reason as any to buy a piece of art.
Folks are going to comment on what you say because aesthetics are subjective, and I think you hinted at an appreciation of craft valuable when you said,
But I'm sure that it will appeal to some people who care and thus drive the price up.
There are just some people who see the craft (artform and work associated) as beautiful as the shape.
Just what is attraction and the need to defend it? When I was a teen it really mattered to some people how their girl/boyfriend appealed to the larger audience. Today I know a few women I work with who ***** and moan about how their husbands are "completely unpresentable at parties and social gatherings," when they are wonderful people to be around.
Logical tangents aside-- there's no reason to be defensive I just wanted to know if you had a greater point in mind when you mentioned something completely subjective in a thread that dares to inquire if there is an objective difference between ClickClacks and GasMasks.
