I was just reminded of how it felt to have my efforts overlooked when RGBisMe was given credit for something I had put a lot of work into. It probably happened because I had forced him into the role of correspondent on the project on which we both had spent hours on and it was a real zing to me when our combined efforts were acknowledged with just his name.This is one reason our trail names use "posse" - our past times are combined efforts. In the mundane world, our last names are hyphenated. We each bring individual strengths to everything we do together. We like living together and working together. Our greatest and most rewarding achievements have all been collaborations.
All of our artwork is collaborative. It is a rare item that you will encounter if it has not had the touch of both RGBisMe and myself and then it is usually a gift for the other. If one of us conceives a piece the other may spend time actually doing the design work then back into the hands of the director for the actual building/ carving/ painting /sewing before finishing touches bounce back and forth between us.
Some of the confusion lies in that I am the one who frequently documents most of what we do. I am the corespondent and the more visible representative for what we create and share. RGBisMe is frequently "The Man Behind the Curtain" and it hurts both of us very much when he is not recognized for the huge amounts of time and energy he puts into our achievements.
Both of us try to credit each other with exactly what we have put into finished pieces, it is in our nature to give proper recognition. We realize that not everyone works this way and it can be confusing. For the record, if you aren't told otherwise, we are to be credited as a couple or family.
