We all have rights to our opinions (and have a right to change them when faced with new information) and apologizing for them (at least, for me) somehow implies that we don't believe what we believe. I'm working on, as Taylor Mali puts it, not only questioning authority, but speaking with it, too.Mrs. Chilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814787474739856911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787476091065195993.post-37496792242286713162007-10-22T22:39:00.000-04:002007-10-22T22:39:00.000-04:00I hate to say it, but I like the color sketch bett...I hate to say it, but I like the color sketch better. The only thing I would have done differently in the color sketch is to give the scary fish's eyes a bit of color. The new version of him is too realistic/terrifying. The lobster is too realistic as well (I don't like him waving either.) I prefer the ornament design in the sketch as well. Sorry, that's my opinion!John B.

Something about the big bottom feeder's eyes says less "zombie undead catfish" and more "don't piss off your mother in law". Ok maybe that says more about my experiences at Christmas than about the picture. Oops.Kizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957878512519527975noreply@blogger.com
