This is making me very sad. I loved the playing card idea. It was the most positive thing that I have seen to bring the community together since I started coming here, in February. I think it gave alot of us, like myself, a whole new respect for pinup art. Pinup art is soooo much fun, but, it is definitely NOT easy. AND, AND...it brought pinups back to the gallery. :) ;) Why does someone have to flame just about every thread here? Anyone with the sense of a chicken must know that no one "owns" the playing card concept. This should not even have been an issue. As for being "asked" to join this card effort....I was not asked to join. Rather, I followed the instructions on the original message, and picked a card (s) that I would be happy to do. I think most of us did that. Well, Senjin, people have said..."Come on...join us in this fun!" I don't understand where there is a problem. I, for one, have not seen your store items, until today, as I make my own characters, most of the time and so, do not shop for characters...Giggle...now, if you were selling HAIR that'd be another thing. Sorry you got your feelings hurt, but, let's keep this project positive!!! Pop...pop...pop
