awww c,mon....it would be refreshing to hear some negative stuff about my art for a change ...i get weary of hearing how wonderful i am all the time....plus, it would be very entertaining to me as well as others here at t.c. i'm sure.....

I don't think that you could handle it. You think all up in your face is either A:[b/] "The sign is a Tiki Farm mug" or [b]B: "Are there rights to the use of that?"

But if I had to try, and not say turd! I say maybe that your Moai lamps strike me as odd. Not a flattering Moai and that hard to screw up. Kinda a bad Jay Leno chin and the red slits don't go with stone Moais. Its one of the only lamps that I have seen not being transparent. And thats why the cuts, but its kinda a Jack-O-lantern that way. Plus I remember it being over priced when I saw it in a store once. And I never turn many tiki object down cause they are so hard to find.

I'm sure that I could think up more and I bet you could say stuff about mine (the word turd isn't helpful to anyone) but the stuff that you did for DvA was great, but then how could it not be, it was a straight copy of tried and true signs. with a twist, I'll give you that.

But I probably wouldn't go into bashing more of your art cause people have bought it and I wouldn't want to make anyone feel bad about owning anything.
