An important advantage of this method is the time taken to do the work. Since only printing is done, the time from submission of photo to delivery at home can be as little as three working days. Another advantage is that this art form is starting to attract art investors and who knows – maybe your work will be a collector's item one day.

Gee, I was just wondering about the advantages of Giclee prints as photos on canvas.  It had consumed most of my thoughts.  Thank God for the

Although the bot's been shut down, it's interesting stuff. Pink and I have a friend who's a painter and he does giclee for some of his works that he wants to sell multiple copies of. It's pretty amazing. He adds a bit of paint on top to give the canvas texture and to polish some colors that don't come out to his liking. The final work is VERY wall worthy.

So tell me: what is the point of these bots which leave messages like the original post?  It's not pushing a specific product, or directing people to a website.  Is it just an attempt to get a foot in the virtual door, and subsequently start posting spam?  I don't spend much time paying attention to that stuff, so maybe there's a new facet to the online ripoff game I don't understand.

Either post-edit spam, in which case they're dropping a marker to come back later and edit (adding links) or signature spam, in which case they're hoping that their signature is picked up as a link.

Essentially I kill any non-approved signatures and have a 30 minute window for editing, so they can't come back later and modify their posts. But the bots'd not know that. Lately I've just been instantly banning and removing anything by clear bots - sometimes I'll let them sit if they even offer the most remotely interesting content or presentation.
