Thanks Mfogiel! Oh I would never take a critique as being rude. I agree with you, I do need to edit more. I find it very difficult to edit down my own work, because as that link you sent (thanks for that) says, I am too emotionally attached. When I work a job, I find it much easier, because I just submit a rough edit, and the art director picks from there. But, as they say... I need to let go! I like the part about starting out thinking they are all crap, and trying to find a good one.
I like your blog. I think the same might apply, but to a lesser extent. I really like quite a few, and then some fail to grab me. For example, the balloon shadow in from of Hermes store. Yes, I love! Ashtray king, I get it, but not so interesting. But overall I think you have a great eye!
