I would like to open for discussion "critique of others engraving work".
I know this is a sticky subject, but I find myself caught in a dilema when I look at others engraving work.
I know my work leaves much to be desired. I there for do not compare my work to that of others if I can help it.
When looking at noteable engravers work in the Double Gun Journal and other publications it just does not look that great to me.
I feel guilty being critcal of these famous engravers work, but I can't help it.
Does being a "C" grade engraver give me a right to be critical of others work?
Todays engravers seem to me to be way above the old timers.
American engravers seem to now be among the worlds best.
I would like to read some comments from members of this forum on this subject.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Thanks, Glenn
