I feel like now I have too much time on my hands.

Maybe over at Xara Xone they have something for you to do...

I think OG (other Gary) is having some technical difficulties.

I keep hitting Ctrl F5 to force a screen reload but I still am seeing the December 15th Xone.

Should it stay as 5 separate images or merge into one?

Five separate images but the images in the center will be more centered.

This is an easy stereogram to create because it uses spacing to achieve the depth.

Nah, I think that's just your legacy that keeps on popping up...

It's my party and I'll eat what I like.

My wife is throwing a 70th birthday party for me next month and asked what I wanted to serve our guests. Well my favorite food in the whole world is a Costco hot dog. So that is what I requested. I'm easy. And cheap.

So I created an image Mary can send out for the invitation.

The photo is from a Google Images search and since it is not a commercial use, I am not violating any body's copyrights. Too much.

For the Mustard Script, I used a free font from daFont.com called Noodle Script. I added a 4pt outline, and an Intestine Stroke Shape. Then a bit of this and a bit of that.

cool image, cool party, cool birthday, cool mustard, just all-round coolness

OK I got ahead of myself. My hot dogs needed sweet pickle relish. I created a custom brush for the relish and now I offer it to you for free. It's my birthday and you get the gift!

As long as the XAR file is open you can access the custom brush in the Line Gallery > New Brush Strokes folder. Select an outline or open path, change the size to about 24pt and then apply the brush.

Yummy,

But wait,where's the sauerkraut,chili-sauce or even the fried onions??
Maybe that's just a European/Dutch thing.
But I think your birthday approach is just the way we know you.
Down2earth and enjoying the simpler things in life.
Oh and I like the picture too

I have been asked to design a banner for our church. This is still a work in progress.
I have to keep it simple because it will be assembled from pieces of fabric cutout.
At this point it has been a rush job and I know there needs much to be done probably moving the elements a little.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Larry - The design is good. If the text is going to be a part of the design maybe find a less contemporary typeface. Some of the hand lettered fonts might be softer and less intrusive.

Also from a design point of view, the top and bottom elements are of equal importance. I would make the bottom area smaller and maybe increase the top objects. ( I realize that Jesus is not an object as such, but I am referring to the figure as an object).
