I'm particularly interested in that middle one; it kind of looks somewhat similar to the anti-papal and/or anti-Martin Luther imagery (but I suppose that multiheaded monster is almost a traditional political caricature model).peacayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997731249622552311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-92103448087765029342008-04-19T07:02:00.000-04:002008-04-19T07:02:00.000-04:00Thanks Paul, the background pic was just something...Thanks Paul, the background pic was just something I was screwing around with, nothing permanent. I agree that it distracted from the rest of the content, particularly the logo. That looks much better against a flat black background. I have an idea to collage a long strip of 15th century engravings/woodcuts of isolated creatures that have the white/blacks reversed and the opacity at around 30-50 percent so they're barely distinguishable against the black. I'll probably throw that on here later this week to see how it looks.Aeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743156867815095055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-35319964022849018562008-04-19T05:02:00.000-04:002008-04-19T05:02:00.000-04:00Hi Aeron, these are brilliant, and I really like t...Hi Aeron, these are brilliant, and I really like the new MB logo, but I do not like the background, it is much too fussy and really distracts from the artworks, please return to plain black!<BR/>Paul Rumsey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
