Ah, yes. The 'contrast', as my brother puts it. I was gonna come and comment this, because I adored it when you showed it to me, but Child Prodidgy decided to bite my ankle and steal my necklace. So I had to get it back.
I do love this one. The simplicity of the background does indeed work with the more comlicated background, and I love the way you have worked images into the signs. Beautiful. Does indeed make for a fab background, the first one I have actually replaced my fractals with since I started making them. Be proud.
Ask the band for a raise in pay. I think your price just went up.
Great balance, good colour palette (kind of liking what my eyes are seeing here, as I just saw "A Scanner Darkly" and this fits) ... has an animated feel and look.
p.s. I want 10% of that raise. Yep, you just got an agent buddy. :oP
