Description
cover image for a little collection of simple illustrated stories that I'd like to put together called "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb." This particular story deals with unconditional kindness.I may put up a little site dedicated to these things if I find the time... we all know how that is for me. 0.o;

This picture makes me want to write a story to go with it; I'm trying to resist, since you doing stories was the whole point.

Aww. I love it. Very Miyazaki-ish. In fact, that even looks like a little Totoro on top of the girl's umbrella.

That's really groovy... I hope you will put up the link to the website if you ever make it happen? You already have tons of stuff you're planning on doing in the future too though!

Very neat. And a collection of short stories from you sounds exciting.

Did you stretch the text, or did you find an extended font.
From a typographer to a cartoonist: Please don't alter the shape of the letterforms in text, they lose all the porportions that they were designed to have. Find an extended font.

I'm actually a graphics designer, not a cartoonist. I've run the mill of typography classes. I think it's important that type not be modified when it concerns text blocks for readability, but I reserve the right to use creative liscense to mod type when I feel that a modification would improve the way the text is seen, in the case of titles, special text, etc. In this case, increasing the x-height of a sans-serif font causes the readabilty to lessen slightly, which also forces the reader to take more time in processing what they are seeing. That deceleration reflects the tempo of this particular project, and in this case I believe it is a fitting modification.

I dont think you can copyright something like that... the title isn't specific. Thats like trying to copyright a CD called "Blue". Too generic tohold up in court I'd think.

Indeed, the only time where it would even be aplicable is if you were directly competing with them, or if there was a chance for consumer confusion. This has been unliscenced law advice from random internet passerby tape # 513. Turn to other side for comments on how this project looks neat, and why that robot needs pants.

When I was reading the discription, I thought it said "unconditional kidneys".... which would be a funny name for a band...

XD I love it, it's a very cute image and an awesome title. Memorable. Buuuut regarding the text spacing between "AN" and "ATOMIC"? I saw that at first and thought it said "ANATOMIC," and I thought oh it's a cover for like.. anatomy doodles or something. Hurr, just a weird kinda thing. XD; Make the space a little bigger, or maybe a "•" between the two words would work well.

If you ever do make that website: then I ask that you be sure to note it in an image in a sample, watermark or some kind of deviation.
Simply 'cause I'm interested and I probably wouldn't find out about it any other way.
Well. That's my request.
Awesome picture.
Awesome title.

Gotchya.
Well. It was the main site that got me to your deviant account, anyway.
