Gary Bouton's Non-Motivational Messages

I use Xara in every one of the images to follow on this thread/gallery. But the non-motivational works also contain background renders and photos, so I'm not certain if this gallery belongs in Xara or non-Xara art.

It probably belongs in Non-Art.

Deal with it.

Both of these are really very good ~ and original, too!

Maybe this should be a challenge OG?

It could be some sort of contest, yes.

Should the quote be provided or invented/borrowed/stolen by the artist submitting the piece?

How many points do we give to the Xara embellishment? That is, do we think a piece is best because of the quote, the execution of the art, or both?

We could comment, for example: Out of a possible 20 (1-10 for the art, and then the quote), Mark gets 7 for the quote and 8 for the art. Also, the art part might be divided into the background beneath the text (for harmony/irony with the quote, technique, blah-blah) ad the choice of font.

Og, do you wish to PM me at home to briefly discuss? I'm not sure if I can or even should be a judge, because I intend on adding to this non-motivational gallery.
