I've seen plenty of artists become embarassed of their old work. I think it is healthy notice how "bad" your previous work is because that means you're growing as an artist. But I don't think I've seen anyone who actively deleted their past work before. Now, I'm not going to say that you "should" reupload your previous work, it's your choice and I respect your reasoning (I'm personally still waiting on that imgur link as I never got to see the works you did here). But I do want to say that by not letting others see your past work, there is a missed opportunity to connect with your fans and fellow artists.

What I mean by this is that people love to see growth. It is incredibly inspiring to see an artist's humble beginnings compared to where they are currently at with their art. I feel that it sends the message of "hey, you know I once started exactly where you're at, and as long as you just keep working and striving to improve, you too can make your art great!" I actually feel it's unhealthy to "hate" our previous works (some embarassment is ok, but totally "hating" them I think is wrong) because really, if it wasn't for those works we wouldn't be where we are today. In fact, to me deleting past works is dangerously close to sending a message of "your art has to be good from the start and if you think it sucks you should just give up because it's not worthy of being shared with others."

...Sorry if I got a little heavy there. I don't think what you're doing right now is necessarily bad or wong in any way, I just think it could potentially lead down a path that I would be sad to see you go through. You said three years ago that you wanted a gallery that is full of great works you could be proud of. Do you think you'll always be proud of the current work you've made so far?

Nice clusters, alot cleaner than your older stuff. And I like the brown you have going there.

Wohaaa, relax chaps. I don't think it is a lack of respect to delete your work. It is still your intellectual property and you can do with it whatever the hell you want.

Maybe do another piece explaining why you have chosen to throw your old pixels into the virtual dustbin.

I bet no one is mad about a fresh start. ;)

Well guys, I can see where you are coming from.

I didn't realize that deleting my pieces seemed disrespectful, and I assure you that is not my intention. It just that after a while, I come to despise the pieces in my gallery, because I feel that they are unfinished, or are just terrible. To me, they become something of an embarassment, and I can't stand to have them anymore. I do get that some people did like my old pieces, but I want to make my gallery great, full of things I can be proud of, not things I dislike.

Perhaps I will create an Imgur gallery of all my old pieces, so the ones I deleted can still be viewed by the fa

user
surt (Level 11 Godfather) @ 10/26/2013 01:13

Not to mention it shows great disrespect to anyone who ever commented on, faved or rated your works.
