" not really unique as everyone who are artists can copy the style if they wished." ~ Ruth Birchamhall



Ruth Birchamhall, I don't understand your comment's intent. There are two parts to the stab at the artist. The first points out that the work is not unique. Unique style, or unique to who? Is it an original idea? If so, I ask how has the artist's personality and perception found its place to make it unique. Whether the style is unique or not the artist has made it his own. On that merit he deserves acknowledgment for the depth of his studies, and the scope and nature of his dreaming. 

Secondly, you simply say, "... everyone who are artists can copy the style if they wished."

Is that a reference to the immediate accessibility this medium (Facebook) affords thousands of people, or the fact that students of art, and professionals can study this artist's work and copy, or learn from him? If so, how does that give the artist insight into how his work affected you? Because your opinion like others opinions matter. What is important to an artist, Ruth, is the clarity of feedback amongst other things. 

You weren't clear, and I was interested in your perspective for some reason I hope you don't call me on. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.10.13
