Let me be clear:
I
AM
AN
ED-I-TOR!
Not trying to be mean or rude, I just want to be clear that most, if not all of this work stems from someone else's picture, I alter it to make it slightly different while still pertaining to the original work's spirit. I credit the artist in the title and link the original in the description. I want to be clear so I don't get messages giving me a heart attack with stuff like "I love your art";
now, I know the gesture is complementary, but I don't want people getting the wrong idea and it sparking animosity between me, and the original artist (I've already had one controversy, even if it was short-lived). If you want to complement me (and I doubt that) word it more akin to: "I love your edits/work" so It's less confusing and more precise.

If I do make something original: I will make it quite clear
