I think the idea here is really cool. and I like the majority of the art there. but the jackalope itself, being so subtle, looked to me like a skull or an alien head at first, which I don't think is the idea you're going for. maybe make the view of the jackelope angled a bit more (rather than stra

that's a really interesting direction to take it--i like it. I'd be interested in a version that was a little less impressionistic, though, and more gritty--the colors seem very rusty to me, which would be an interesting direction for this image, I think. jake On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 10:59 PM, K

I think it's a great looking icon, but compared to the other icons currently on the submissions page, it's a little complex, even in its largest sense. I get the feeling that the Breathe icons have a large simplicity about them, whereas this one feels kind of busy. Maybe if it was simplified? Jak
