Is it pretensious to post pictures of artwork? Is it pretensious to not post pictures of artwork, because posting pictures of artwork is pretensious? Is it pretensious to even worry about the pretensiousness of it?
From an artists perspective, I think the only negative part of posting art is that it makes the individual piece precious. And most of them are not. One amateur self-portrait is individually insignificant when there should be 20 drawings done in a 1-month period that are equal to or better than it. But aside from that...
Some of my classmates do, and some of them don't. I like to think that some friends and family that cannot see them would want to see. I know my parents do.
People post pictures of their cars, their tattoos, their drunkenness, and their bodies without hesitation. But art is different because it can be personal and sensitive, and certainly improved upon, making something old even more sensitive...while the new is unleashed with bombast and chest-pounding.
What do you think?
