There has been quite a bit of 'mud slinging' in the PSP community of late and it's quite sad.
All I'm going to say is, the ARTWORK that I purchase from any digital store IS ARTWORK. The fact that it is a digital file called a "tube" does NOT matter.
I do not consider what I do "creating art" - I think of it as "crafting". For example in my youth, my crafts were embroidery and cross-stitch. Now my "crafting" is with a computer. Sometimes I will even make our holiday and birthday cards for family and friends (with scrapkits - not with tubes purchased, of course).
It's a hobby ... it's fun for me ... it distracts me from things in RL when I need it. If some day the digital stores fold-up-shop then I will just continue on with all the wonderful pieces that I have purchased since 2004.

I agree with you 100% Laura. I've been an Olivia art collector since 1978. I see no difference in the work that hangs on my walls, books of her work that are on my shelves or the art I have bought and paid for to use in my digital hobby. I look at tubes from any artist as an extention to my art fetish.
