I'm going to make one too but I don't sew so well so it'll probably look like shit. bbgun, I encourage you to make the hat and then post it!

I *never* pick the right colors to start with and it always takes so much tweaking before I'm satisfied. P.S. If you want to be torn a new arsehole w/ art criticism, you should post at gingerbox (http://gingerbox.spiteshow.com)! There's so many fucking awesome artists that post and they have impossibly high standards. They'd love your stuff there. Do you ever play with the color/hue sliders in Photoshop?

I never get this useful color info on my blog (which is strange, some of you post there ya jerks) so your comments are really really useful to me. As for color, I tend to just kind of pick my color choices really arbitrarily, and its really rare when I actually like how it turns out in the end. This is not really one of those instances. I'd like to one day be able to color insanely, like this Shintaro Kago <a href="http://samehat.blogspot.com/2008/02/shintaro-kago-on-cover-of-vice-magazine.html" rel="nofollow">cover</a> but in a way that looks cohesive and pleasing. I'm also a fan of minimal coloring but that hat desperately wanted some ugly coloring WHOA! thanks for all the feedback, friends; I really appreciate it!

I like how the red heart earrings pop out (I didn't even notice them in the b/w). I want that hoodie - that exact one, in yellow, with red drawstrings, and with the JO on it! :) I loved the black and white, but I think this one is great too.

Thanks for the comment! I really like your illustration style - as for the colors, I like them though I do think it would look cool if they were desaturated a bit with that old worn vintage color feel- awesome job! As for quitting - I don't think I've ever felt better. Hey!
