Angela_134247 Gold Member artist Posts: 761	opinions, please Jan 19^th, 2009, 5:53pm I have been experimenting with watercolors and ink pen lately, trying my hand at some cartoon-type cards. I would love to have some feedback on them! Are they clear? Do the jokes make sense? Most of them are on the first page of my gallery. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Angela -

I actually like the soft coloring, so keep them and see what happens.

I did want to mention something many artists are not aware of and that is that there are many shoppers who are on dial-up accounts and page-load times can be significant, so adding store "pizazz" items, like the SLIDE, is a sure way to have them leave our stores.
