I want to thank everyone who responded to my previous journal. You took the time to write thoughtful replies, and that in turn helped me to think things through.

The replies were overwhelmingly from purchasers (or potential purchasers) of art, and while folks are ready to acknowledge the shortcomings and pitfalls of YCH art, the majority of you still appreciate the convenience of seeing a predetermined pose, as well as the relatively low cost (usually) of the finished artwork. So there's clearly a market for this kind of work, and an overabundance of artists ready and willing to cater to it.

As I've said, I won't be offering any YCH poses myself, but this little journal has been instructive. So thank you.
