A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Aug 18, 2013
Don't you just hate it when an artist's work is judged by the personal life of the artist? Doesn't it just irk you if someone declares their dislike based upon an artist's love life, family life or political affiliation? Well, it really bugs me, and here are three of my pet peev read more
