@deacon – I don’t know if @kelly picked it up or not. I haven’t said anything. Just waiting.

I wonder when people are going to realize WIAW is packed full of easter eggs? Well, it’s not completely packed yet, but I’m working on it.

cool…I appreciate it. the design is one my wife thought up some years ago for a tattoo.

since she may never get the tattoo, last year I commissioned her artist-cousin to paint a 4′x4′ canvas with this theme and it turned out amazing.

I think it might be cool to revisit this theme in different mediums from different artists over the coming years.

your next line sounds quite intriguing. I look forward to it.

@Carlos, I’ll have to think ruminate on this one. I was planning to do some figurative stuff (ie. images of people) next, incorporating more emotion and pathos than the decorative and design based stuff I am working on now.

I know I will revisit decorative stuff again soon, and when I do, I’ll see what I can do with this idea. It might be a few months though.

As for price, I’m not quite sure yet. After I’m done with my current promotion, my base price will probably be in the $25 to $50 range.

@Kelly, I stole this idea from Dave the other night when we were hanging out. He is a bit more subtle about it.

your use of sublimal bold messaging is masterful.

I had in mind a tree with green leaves on one side and red on the other…however you wish to portray it.

Is that doable, and how much would it be?

@Carlos, what are you interested in? I have the last 20 of these 101 started and fairly well planned, but I aim to please. If it is in my means to satisfy a request, I’ll do what I can.

FYI to everyone, my commentluv isn’t quite working right. It isn’t on by default, like it should be. The downside of coding your own themes..

these are cool. I do believe my wife would enjoy one…being a San Fran artist doesn’t hurt either.

would you take a request for a future block in the series.

@Kelly, and I’ll hold on to 77 for you.

Oh, no! Did you get the dude version of my A/B split test?

I’m not your target audience here (man buying gift for woman) but I want #77. I wanted it yesterday when I saw your twitpic of it on your studio floor.
