the paintshop reviewed

I've been following & contributing to thepaintshop.biz for some time now and it's a lot of fun. The idea is simple yet complex: there's one canvas, multiple 'painters', a limited set of colors and brushes. When you click the "sign & sell" link the painting is yours. That's right, you can 'steal' the painting. When you claim the painting you share in the proceeds if the painting is sold. In the gallery you can choose a painting and buy it. It will be printed on canvas and shipped to the buyer.
I get the feeling that the collaborative painting part of the Paintshop doesn't really works because there are a lot of aggressive, less creative, painters that like to bash the other contributors.
The quality, and that of course is completely according to my personal values, is not that high. I think the painting more often don't transcend the 'material' and remain some scribbles on the screen. Also, the more successful creations have a more deliberate concept behind them.
I'm not claiming to have made the best 'paintings' and before I select the things I like from other contributors I'll show what I have created, at least the ones I think the most successful:

My contributions
Brisbain I like the idea of the overpainting, creating the shapes from the outside in. Also the shapes hint at a figuration which is an idea that i'm working on lately	Brittle Art A reaction to a collaborative spat that turned sour.
CrossEyed Here, the result of a quite long session achieves a painterly aspect that i like a lot	fEEdBaCk This one is conceptual. The idea had to be realized :)
There and back These kind of drawings really don't support collaboration	Just Hirsting More of a joke
Black Drop	Plain
Crainola Again, the painterly aspect lifts it to another level	AB's mother
linne
My selection
The graphic effect is really nice	It's a figurative work that has a nice handwriting
Conceptually it had to be done	As did this one
It seem to be one of the collaborative ones that actually has a nice atmosphere	nice and bold
graphically very successful	Nice touch, those bubbles
the texture supports the meaning	different handwritings, still full of emotion
Those abstract expressionist roots go deep	Until its minimal
Nice portrait	More   abstract expressionism
nice lithograph	Mostly the bloody mindedness
nice structure & control
