If you dont know, i aspire to be an artist. Im entering an art show in october, the deadline for turning in art and entering is next weekend. I was wondering if making this on a bigger scale would be neat. Maybe there is a sublime fan there or something. Or do you think that doing something more original would be better? Its an auction, so i need to sell. Any advice?

Nothing special, its going to be in chicago i think. Only about a 1 or 2 hour drive from my house. But, its not a big art show or anything, its the kind of place where artist would get discovered i guess. Its also more for decoration than for show/collection.

I think there's copyrights on that kind of stuff. It would probably be better if you created something out of that hippo-shaped head of yours.

I watched this Tales From The Crypt episode once where a guy killed people then used their blood to make morbid art, and he got rich from them. I think you should do that.
