 Topic: Abel Adames Designer of PA Header
Posted: January 15 2014 at 01:06 |
Hi, fellas I am back! Hi fellas it has been years since the last time I visited the webpage. It is good to be back and I am hoping you guys remember me, since I first started publishing my prog and rock collages here @ PA before any other place back in 2008. Last time I remembered visiting the page my collages were creating too much negative criticism and don't get me wrong, I don't mind criticism, however it was getting out hand, it was discording me to continue making them, which still is something I am not planning to do as I knew many will like them thought years. I guess many people got tired of them and though they were getting stale and pretty much boring. The problem is that is my style . I had found tons of websites and blogs that uses them as their wallpapers and even provide links to download them. Anyway I am back basically because this was the very first website that I used to post my collages and many really really really enjoy them and sometimes even love them. Since them I had made about 10 more collages if I am not mistaken. I am exhibiting 2 of the most recent ones here and hopefully I will still get a thump up! Like I said earlier I don't mind criticism is hateful comments that I dislike. It is fine if you dislike them. I had survived all these years later.
These collages are made as tribute and I still don't get pay to make them. Also I had never got into any lawsuit from any bands however I had got an ok from a few bands to f**k with their artworks and even make few bucks as one I did few years back to the great Gentle Giant which is sold on a t.shirt at their official website. http://www.blazemonger.com/GG/Special:GentleGiantStore
It is pleasure to be back! Att: Abel Adames (Darksideof )
Collage dedicated to the awesome Tangerine Dream specially concentrating to thier 70's and 80's albums.

Certain members dislike(d) the front page banner that he created as well as some of his other collages and were quite "vocal" about it, causing much head bumping and grief for Abel.
Nice to see you back Abel. I had wondered a while back if you were still making your collages or not.

Actually Scott, that not exactly true: a few of us simply said that we didn't like it, a few said it was too busy, a couple of people didn't like the bright saturated colours, and I believe someone said it looked too dated. We were not "vocal" and we didn't give Abel a hard time over it. Max, and then Abel, asked for opinions, if they only wanted praise then they should not have asked at all. If he took it badly I can only apologise for expressing my honest opinion, most of us actually went out of our way to say it was just our opinion and not a criticism of Abel's skill.
But for the record, I don't like this TD collage either, but that's because I think only Edgar Froese should do Edgar Froese artwork and not because Abel did a bad job with Froese's material.

Welcome back Abel, busy or not, the PA header is like a trademark now, I personally find it "inviting" and full of colour

Not really a fan of collages no matter who makes them, but you clearly enjoyed making these and that's the important thing I guess.
why is this in polls?

Hi rushfan4 thAnk you and I am glad you are still here. It was not the banner collage that cause me as that head bumping and grief as you putted. It was if I am not mistaken my few recent collages back them. I just felt they were not welcome Any more and enjoy as I was getting too much hateful comments. However that was on the past and I misses posting the others later on as I clearly remember how some member waited eagerly to what I was creating next.
I missed the forum.

that is correct dean. You are absolutely right. It was not the header. I apricoated your sencire opinions and I never token wrongly no need for apology from you  I understand what you are saying about this collage, but as you probably don't see is that most of images of this collage and the main ones are not even his, but my own. I just incorporated TD within them.
