Why would Morganne care whether a bunch of anonymous fundamentalist posters on the web have or don't have respect for her lifestyle choices? Who's business is that but her's?

I never said I had to smoke, hell I didnt even bring it up. It just so happens that I was pixeling things that were important to me. My best friend gave me that smoking impliment for my birthday, so no I wasnt including it because I wanted to spark controversy. I honestly dont give a flying-rats-ass about who respects me on the internet. Im not doing it because its cool as you so delicatly implied... but my reasons are my own and I doubt I could convince you to change your opinion, so Im not even going to try. The point Im trying to make is why do you feel the need to tell me how to live my life when what Im doing isnt affecting you in the slightest? Im not sitting here preaching to folks about the evils of alchohol or tobacco, nor would I even consider it. What other people choose to do with their free time is their business. Its too bad some people cant seem to see past an artists subject matter and focus on the actual technique.
Oh yes, one more thing I forgot to mention. Just because somehting is a natural growing plant doesn't mean it's cool to catch it on fire until it smolders into your lungs.
Don't tell me you have to smoke cannabis to be a good artist. Also, no one said they lost respect for you as an artist, just general repect. And one last thing, if smoking is a ... 'hobby', then please find a more healthy, respective hobby. If you didn't want controversy over it, I'm sure you wouldn't have put it in there, specifically in the middle. It's a tad suspicious.
Note I'm not taking sides, just correcting where others got it wrong (in my opinion at least).
Hi, this is my first post on the site. First I must say you do great work, but the reason I felt obligated to post was in regard to some of the comments being made here. I was just shocked at the sheer ignorance of comments like, “Is that really a pipe? If it is I've lost all respect for you...” Well in my opinion, that person is a moron if they base their respect for you on something like that. Obviously they don’t realize that nearly all of the greatest artists of our time were influenced and catalyzed by consciousness-expanding substances like cannabis. They are probably also unaware that cannabis actually increases alpha brainwave activity, which is responsible for creative thought processes. But I really don’t have to explain it, do I? I mean, just take a look at the work of those people who criticize it and I think you’ll see that the proof is in the marginally poor quality of their work.
Anyways, keep up the good work and f*** what anybody thinks!
Pipes can hold tobacco. Also if it is marijuana, then it's an illegal hobby, and in that case some loss of respect is to be expected. *shrugs* But I really like the shading on all of these.

If partaking in a certain hobby earns me less respect as an artist, its not the kind of respect I want anyway.
I am Guybrush Threepwood and I am a mighty pirate! I'm also selling these fine leather jackets.

Hahahaha.
Anyway, I think this is a good piece. My favorite is the snowman, but I really like the shading on the orange too. :]
