Hey, Larry—

I think what you've done goes far beyond "FontPlay", at least artistically, and well into "commercial design".

I feel as though, if I were your boss (thankfully I'm not), I'd encourage you to pursue the second on with the eyeglasses treatment, and the one with the cocktail umbrella. These both begin with very strong design elements all in the right proportion to one another and I think if you polished them—give more attention to shading, shadows, highlights, perspective/point of view...then you got a couple of fine portfolio pieces, Larry.

It's not how well you draw. It's how well you think, that gets you work.

Concept is everything.

My Best,

Gary
