I'm reading Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (great book!). It has absolutely nothing to do with my piece whatsoever.

Except maybe the part about Boba Fett being indirectly responsible for Pearl Jam. I'm trying to figure out how to work that in.

So is this basically what they mean by 'emo'?

You have included 31 images in your message. You are limited to using 30 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.
I removed one of your weapons and it worked.

**Gloominati** · June 23rd, 2006, 10:10 AM

Emo? Well I don't know if we mean the same thing by the word emo but I think emo would have looked like this:

**Egoartist** · June 23rd, 2006, 11:17 AM

And then at some point you'll proceed to cut yourself? Relax

am just messing with you. I am shivering in the corner expecting the mighty foot of one of my opponents to mercilessly descend on me.

**Chandan** · June 23rd, 2006, 03:22 PM

I guess it's too late to sign up. haha

**Lewis** · June 24th, 2006, 10:05 AM

Can I put text in the piece? I cant find no rules about that :-/

**chaosrocks** · June 24th, 2006, 10:10 AM

you can, but it's IMO its lame. the image should speak for itself.

and chandon , you can ask Strych9ine to put you on the reserves list. make an entry anyway and who knows you might get in.

Drop and roll, Queensoul... you might surprize your self yet!

Yeah and a lot of people here on ca.org share ur opinion, ive noticed.
But i dont get it, sure it can be a lame help, but text and image can also enstrenghen each other and tell a story/concept better

**DavePalumbo** · June 24th, 2006, 11:26 AM

Text can work in many ways and isn't always lame. Some of my favorite pulp novel cover paintings did this with things like a man holding a newspaper where the headline is visible, or standing infront of a sign which is important to the story. It can even be used outside the image but part of the design, though trickier to pull off. Work that text baby!

On another note. Officially scrapping my piece and starting fresh today. Last night I got hit by a bolt of inspiration lightning and saw what to do to correct all the things I was unhappy with in my current piece. I had trouble sleeping I was so pumped.

**magicgoo** · June 24th, 2006, 01:23 PM

Can we see your scrapped version, Dave, once the contest is all posted and Round 1 is over? I'm curious to see everyone's ideas.

Oh yeah, and hopefully my text isn't "lame." I think it helps my piece because it might be too confusing without it. Although, even with the text, some might not understand it. Oh well. Back to working on it....

**DavePalumbo** · June 24th, 2006, 01:50 PM

yeah, I still plan to finish it, but it may be a little while before I do that

**AmishCommy** · June 24th, 2006, 02:01 PM

i thought about throwing text in mine since i'm basically illustrating a song, but most likely, it will be a last minute decision. oh by the way, i should be starting today. FEAR!!!!!

**DavePalumbo** · June 24th, 2006, 02:18 PM

damn right. nothing scarier than a blank surface. I was in the grip of fear yesterday when I had to lay a face into a painting. Just had to slop some paint down to get over it. Once you have something to work with, you know what to do

**chaosrocks** · June 24th, 2006, 03:35 PM

I worked in print advertising a long time... Im trying to avoid text. I hate designing with text my self. It can work, but I hate having to read the artwork. in galleries I refuse.,... I just walk past it... Image is so much stronger with out having to translate it through reading.. I think having to make that interpretation lessens the impact. Or maybe Im just lazy....

**Beelow** · June 25th, 2006, 01:36 AM

Classic movies hehe! Can't wait to see what all of you come up with. I hope to advance to the next round hehe!

**DavePalumbo** · June 25th, 2006, 03:21 AM

Bah, I was keeping my eyes on the Thunderdome prize. Thunderdome-wise, those other movies will just confuse you.

**Burtzum** · June 25th, 2006, 04:36 AM

hmm I believe the complete teachings of he who winneth the alpha 'dome will give me an edge.

and here is a bastardization to throw everyone else off:
