I will admit ray you have made it look quite glamourous. Now, are you going to take "those" green gates by the library.......

Back in the late 70's my uncle had the best album that was a "musical story" of the War of the Worlds. I have no clue what it was called or who was on it or who produced it, but I remember that I LOVED the music. Great image :-)

Looks like a giant golden fly about to invade the building! The color effect you used gives the whole thing a fun, cartoon-y effect! Great idea!

The little fingers coming out from the body are awesome. Is this based on some alien sighting?

Wow, Ray, this has a feel about it, an intense atmosphere... I can't quite explain it. I will say I think it's brilliant.

Guest		19-May-2004 19:29
