I know, fishing for votes, scandalous right? Well, unfortunately you are encouraged to do so for this contest. The contest is put on by the good folks of Consumer Reports, and asked people to illustrate the dangers of debt. This is my entry, and took over a week of concepts and painting to complete, so I definitely, definitely appreciate any votes! The contest winner will receive a cash prize (do I hear rent and grocery money?), and a subscription to Consumer Reports. Anyone is allowed to vote, and you can put in one vote a day until Feb 28th.

Please feel free to ask about my personal views on the picture, though you are welcome to interpret it any way you choose.

Ooh, very nice interpretation, Wadi! It does look like it took a great deal of time to make, and worth every vote!
It's both humorous and true :3

Thanks Droe. I went for the love child of Dali and Pink Floyd's, "the Wall", but see a touch of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" now that it's done:

Thanks so much Kit. I tried to evoke a feeling of crabs with them, because crabs sidle sideways, giving the impression that they don't look where they are headed.
