Title: Aphid in smoke
Post by: wmchauncey on April 24, 2015, 05:42:46 pm: No clue what aphids look like but, had to call it something??? I'm trying to work with smoke images and am having troubles with color.
This is a test for a Living Room wall hanger...we have the original blue on black followed by the same with more of a purple look.
You gotta choose one that you must hang, black/purple or a different combo than purple...printed on either canvas or metal...you choose.

I agree but it's a super cool image and we should give the OP a pass.
I'd print both, put em side by side.

Only if one of your monitors shows the same image blue and the other purple ;)

The second purplish one looks too 60's tie dye t-shirt art where the first has a more nautical James Cameron's deep sea creature vibe.

To me it looks more like a horseshoe crab than an aphid. ;)

Post by: Eric Myrvaagnes on April 26, 2015, 11:52:16 am: That's tougher. They are both fine, but I wouldn't show them at the same time. The context, or where they are to be shown, would help to decide.
