Thank you! I remember when I first saw this movie as a kid, as soon as the glasses went on and he saw someone with one of those weird faces, it creeped me out. I wanted to try and recreate that. I've seen a lot of posters for this movie and they all kind of do the same thing this one does (someone looks funny under the glasses) but I wanted to reinforce that they do a good job of blending in with everyone else. So I repeated the same walking figure to help sell that idea. Glad you gig it!

Whoa, one of my favourites too, really nice job with this, almost gives it a 70s feel.

Thank you so much. Did you find the hidden message? I can't tell if it's too subtle or too obvious since no one has mentioned it to me yet.

I do see Obey in there, now that you mention it. I did really have to look for it though.

Nice. Just making sure it's visible at least. I can see it, but I was wondering if that's just because I know to look for it. I think I've got it right where it needs to be. Thanks for playing!

Yeah, it's a classic. I'd say it's in the top 3 movies starring Roddy Piper. Heh. Thanks for the kind words.

i like it...but i don't like the pink...perhaps make an alternat? make it red? or some other not so subtle color? layout etc is great...just my own color preference...you know?

It's very hard to avoid getting into the routine of black/white/red combo. Those colors go so well together that it can make you lazy if you rely on it too much. I went with pink mainly because it's a color I haven't really used on these yet and it's also a nod to his line about chewing bubble gum and kicking ass. I realize pink isn't for everyone, but I think I'm going to stick with these colors for now.
