Description This was an actual exchange I had with some guy at Anime Boston. He spent about 20 minutes looking through my art just to drop that nugget of wisdom on me...at a CARTOON CONVENTION.

Though seriously, I swear I'm usually more tactful, polite, and receptive to criticism. This dude just pressed the right "Make Kevin behave like a total ass" buttons. X_x

There's people as well who can't take criticism :/ they tell you to stfu before you even say something... *Sighs*

I think it's fault of people like that guy :/
He's also friggin old. (Not a valid argument, but when you dislike someone xD everything is good enough)

I kind of think that you had the right to toss that one in his face. You're at a cartoon con and he didn't even give you something constructive. YOU HAVE BEEN SPAMMED IRL.

Theres always one loser who tries to be funny and smart at the same time, trying to disrespect one's style of artwork when they can't make none themselves.
