What's the idea for a good interpretation that's any different than those other ones?

Re: Dream Machines - Resub

A lot more creepy and a lot less cute than usual. Interesting...

Re: What Dreams Are Made Of

Hey Alvin....Hang in there dude....All this critisism.....crazy! Well at least your getting exposure...good or bad....This derby sucks, but your shirt dosen't..I will be wearing this shirt sometime in February....You know whenever they can mail it to me!

Re: Achieve The Dream

honestly, I can see this as being both offensive and inspiring at the same time, it all just depends on who is wearing it. If a handicapped person is wearing it, it shows a true dream that they want to work towards but at the same time, if you saw some high schooler wearing it, you'd get the impression that he is making fun of handicapped people for not being able to walk. Everyone has their own views on this, obviously, and I for one, think it is quit clever.

Thank you for your vote. I will be using my prize money to learn about penguin flight research, if I win. I can't believe no one has thought of this before!

I hope that means you like it and voted for it
I'm not much for cutesy generally but I figured in this case it was balanced out by the "nightmare.'
I am having sooo much fun with this theme!

resub without the alleged text--I'll still buy it
that's a symbol, not text...STOP TOUCHING ME! woot rejector

yes, and my vote was for the serial Somebody stole my pudding! obsessive look in the puff's eyes

Re: Cheese Dreams

This one grew on me, very cute and I liked your plan on "is he dreaming or sleeping well because of the cheese"

The mare's leg of course...what else would it be silly?

I like the sillyness of the scene, it makes it awesome!

That would be perfect!! Thanks for your support.

brizz wrote:well, you consistently do creative work, Freud just happened to hit on something I found cool. I'm not sure that i'm all that hard to please, or any more discriminating than many others, i'm just fond enough of procrastinating that I take the time to say it out loud here ;) As frustrating as it can be to watch carp pass by genius, it's all a nice diversion from the drudgery of spending all my waking hours writing.

Thanks again Brizz!

Heh, so my attempt to make the puff seem to be thinking, "I will suffocate you with my cuddley-wuddley-fluffiness, I love you so very, very, VERY much!!!" was successful?

I do worry that the overt cutesiness will be offputting for the majority of male voters, even though it is meant to be ironic cutesiness.

Re: Sleeping Problems

I hate it when this happens!

How about a mobius strip instead? that's not text...come on don't give up...I need a sheep shirt to wear while I'm knitting...

FYI--I didn't type "STOP TOUCHING ME!" it's one those replacement edits woot does...whatever...

superspryte wrote:Well, yeah. I took some of my photos and livetraced it then messed around with them and did it again. So what? I do a serious entry and a kind of goofy one every week. Last I heard there wasn't anything wrong with that.

My bad Superspryte, you know I support you style. I am just discusted with all of the half-a-s-s mock ups in this derby...I wrote without seeing your name. We all know you do good work. Will you ever forgive me?

nope. just showed my husband, to be sure, and he took one look and said "that's too effing creepy, you should tell them cause i think it's supposed to be all sweet" looks like you got it right to me

Re: ...zzz...

Cute, but I call text...although my son would love this, as his nickname is "z"

Re: Tormented Dreams

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Sweet design & good luck!

thanks, i appreciate that. i definately think this one is getting overlooked as well. but i appreciate your support. thanks for taking the time to write.

Wow, Annie22 is back! Annie, make some entries!

Anthony3419 wrote:91st and 114th place? I would be upset too....

If I was upset with my placements, I'd have stopped entering, oh, weeks ago.

Live Tracing is Live Tracing. Don't call out one when you're defending another that has done the same.

thanks sammysam. i kind of hope it does too. but that's a bit ambitious i'm guessing, as a noob here.
