It's cool, well I like the first pic, but not so keen on the second negative one.

yo this is really cool
lettering on the hat is nice
where it says movement is cack- why dont you throw in the outline of this arm to seal it off?
his hand making a ring is midget

Agree that the reversed image doesn't work as well as the positive. What might be neat is laying a solid deep red-maroon or something like that over the reversed image and eliminating the white completely...as if it was black printed on red paper. It might make the negative version more cohesive and less jarring as an image.

Thanks everyone! I agree on the negative image. It realy was just a lets see what it looks like thing. The idea of killing the white is a good one. Too bright. The main image was the first one. and I think sealing off the arm would help...
Thx again.

nice poster I like the upper ones colourings more the lower one is difficult to look at and looks too psycedelic to be taken seriously

[sabe2003]

yea, I agree. It kinda hurts my eyes now lol
Here is the original:

aside from sealing in the arm I think the orginal (with no color) is the most powerful. Great pic. Chemical Calesthetics and Alphabet Acrobatics!

Chemical Calesthetics and Alphabet Acrobatics!

WORD!

Thx!

well now I think that the original is the best, sometimes keeping it simple is better looking (even that one feels like go on working on it some more)

black and white is the best ! :yayca:

[sabe2003]

Cool, I agree. less is more in this case. :bashful:

Niiiice. I saw the title and thought, "does he mean Gift o' Gab?" Lo and behold, he does! Been following those guys for the last 7 years or so. Very cool image. Was this done for them? And if not, are you going to send it to them? You should. Good stuff.

I do agree about bringing the line of the arm down, maybe just let the "T" break out of the outline. Good stuff man!

Peace,

[sabe2003]

Very cool, Glad you all like it.

Phuzion- I posted it at okplayer.com which is the forum for them but I haven't yet asked okstore if they want to market it. I would think thats cool.

heh swan lake, great song!!
