Hi Mark, I checked out your gallery and like it a lot! I also checked out Croidon's gallery! and his bio. This is the way he writes! maybe it is the way he thinks?We don't all have to be lineal in this process. Maybe he is a hard task-master and a c+ is a very good grade? at any rate, he has never looked at my work so you may be lucky there, you posted something that caught his eye and drove him to comment! Sometimes this is better than "nice good work"!

Mark Adams 16 Mar 2010

Yes, I don't mind criticism or anything like that. Some of my friends in the 'real' world will openly say that they hate my stuff. Anyway, the comment in question doesn't seem to have to do with anything and I am not sure what the whole USA and Europe thing has to do with anything there?

I am having a good laugh all the same! :D

Here we are. I have copied and pasted the comment here, to save having to follow the link. Bear in mind that this is a response to an ACEO drawing in pencil called the Clairvoyant which I will attach to this post. Here;s the comment, which I had to censor the rude words before posting:

16-Mar-10 05:07 AM croidon herscheid 'its very lonley 2 see americans. eh, u drawn the eyesy ur missing. would u like 2 have them ? u did nothing else 2 say that u at f****d up. as an european. nice 2 drop america. wake up, and get a slice off different. boah, s**t on america, humble seekings is orient. what do u seek, well. u may kill urself, cause europe is different. i just thought 2 comment ur lonley soul. america is 3rd land. f**k ur stupid wishes. f**k a girl. no, no americans humble. non. go abroad. c+'

Well, Mark, I looked at a different comment on a different posting you did! Yes, this is a bit disturbed, to say the least. Maybe he is an expat living in China? with a deep seated hatred of America? That's too bad but clearly HIS problem! and really shows no intellectual History of this country! I would disreguard this comment as a bit deranged. Sorry I was confused!

Mark Adams 16 Mar 2010

Lol. No worries Jerry. I thought, maybe it's me? It is strange isn't it? I think it sounds unhinged and psychotic, but then you know, a lot of artists do, don't they.lol ;)

Maybe he's on something.................

I'd just hit delete........ if that's possible?

chris Navarre 16 Mar 2010

He hates americans, nothing new. Europe is different, I Only know what i've heard from friends that have been there. It is very different than here. A friend of mine in an underground death metal band does shows in europe every so often, he looked at me with blank eyes and just said "Europe is strange, dude, Europe is strange, it's much different than here."

jerry carlin 16 Mar 2010

I think this is just one off the wall guy. I love Europe and only have great stories and experiences from my travels there. Very friendly, outgoing, generous people! There is nothing wrong in being critical and allowing a reasonable discussion, this guy is a bit wacko and has the intellectual capacity of a snail! too bad, it takes the fun out of an argument!

Dan Ault 16 Mar 2010

He makes as much sense as most of the art critics I've encountered.

Mark Adams 17 Mar 2010

I'm English and I think that he thinks that I am American. Anyway, you get wackos all over the world from any country. I have been to America 3 times and have friends there. We have cultural differences for sure. I drink too much according to the Americans I have met, but I don't drink enough according to my English friends.lol.

Anyway, I have had some more crazed comments. I won't delete them, but I am sure Artwanted would, if they saw some of them.

He can say what he likes, just as long as he remembers that I can too!

jerry carlin 17 Mar 2010

Well Mark, now I will follow your postings like a hawk just to discover Croidon's cryptic comments! I think it is a code of some kind? I did get one from him today but it was short and in English! This would be fun if we understood a word he was saying.

Mark Adams 17 Mar 2010

I still don't understand them Jerry! He's kerazy! lol.

croidon herscheid 17 Mar 2010

oh americans tell themself disorder.

Dan Ault 18 Mar 2010

He says he can shout. Don't hear you.

Ann 25 Mar 2010

He posted on one of my paintings too. No foul language, but definitely one weird dude who should ask an English speaking friend (if he has any) to post for him lol. Ann
