capri0mniAnd they're not all plot bunnies, either.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon, you have a dozen -- John Steinbeck.
So, back in July, I started playing around with the idea of setting up my own CafePress store. And some of the things I worked on over this last National Art Making Month were ideas I could maybe adapt into CafePress designs. This one is closest to being ready for primetime, I think.*
But just as I'm getting my head around creating and selling, it seems like half my circle-f'list is getting rid of stuff and/or moving house. So ...um... my timing probably couldn't be worse.
However, I may just make a go of it anyway, especially with this design, as "plot bunnies" have wide appeal on the Internets. Hence, the poll:
Also, in doing image research for this design, I surfed a lot of youtube vids for people's shots of their pet rabbits. And I learned something: just as whales "breach" when they're feeling happy or energetic, so rabbits "do a Binky" (yeah, I know, humans can come up with the silliest names for things). Here's a vid of a wild bunny binkying
I have a whole new mental image of mad plot bunnies, now (it's maddening when they won't let you go to sleep! ;-)).
*(I might rearrange it to put the "normal/parent bunnies" on top, and their mad offspring below them

YAYAYAY more art from you!
