With all the "shame on you" sentiment being posted because some of us =
have stated our "PERSONAL OPINION" about Koie's mugs, I found myself =
feeling a little guilty for "trashing" an artist's work. I looked =
again, tried to see and perceive these mugs in a different light. To be =
fair to Koie, I have looked at lots of his work on the internet, all of =
the links that Helen posted and more, and find many of his pieces that I =
do like, some quite well. I have no doubt that Koie is a brilliant and =
accomplished artist. I appreciate Koie's gesture concerning 9/11. All =
that said.... Sorry, I still don't care for the mugs. They are not =
pleasing to MY eye. They don't summon ME to pick them up. My distaste =
for Koie's mugs has very little to do with price. I wouldn't want them =
for any price. Isn't it a wonderful thing that all of us don't have the =
same taste. What a boring world this would be. I am just saddened that =
we can't express our personal opinions, without being accused of =
"trashing", "bashing", and "defiling our own nest". I don't like the =
mugs, and I am certain that Koie would understand and be OK with my =
opinion. Again, thanks for the opportunity to voice my opinion. =20
