Looks nice. You did a good job lining up the eye and the mouth.

The only thing that I think would have helped is a smoother blending of the hair transition, but all in all it looks nice.

Good job!

Many audience members may not know that this common rock concert gesture is actually a reference to rock legend, floppy the banjo clown

...


I need not say more.

Mastallama, you guys have GOT to add a photo for Styx's "Pieces of Eight". Both for the cover and inside LP foldout. It would just be totally perfect, although not sure how many people actually know the album.

You can do the art yourself and submit it to the website! I have nothing to do with the website or The Blue Man Group. I just made the one picture and submitted it to the website.

Mastallama is sayin he doesn't like Styx.

I own that album. I'd say it's their best one.

Oh? I didn't say I don't like Styx, I LOVE Styx and also own the same album. I was just stating 2 things 1)that anyone can edit images and upload them to the Floppie website and 2)I'm not affiliated in any way shape or form with the website minus the fact that I submitted one picture.

I noticed that when I uploaded mine. I think they check 'em first for pornographic material or something.

Nice job insanepoet!

Can you add one of those Easter Island earrings to Floppie?

> I own that album. I'd say it's their best one.

Definitely. It's the album which really got me into them. Sure, "Grand Illusion" got me interested in Styx, but "Pieces of Eight" was just better. The LP was played over and over and over and over...... My brother and I really liked it. Although we always skipped "Sing For The Day". To this day, I refused to name our kid's Hannah because I did not want to associate my child with that song. I apologize to anyone named Hannah. The name is ok, I just don't like that song.

Too bad I only have it on LP or I would have brought it to work. I miss those songs.

I have pieces of eight on LP and I have that album, Styx II and Greatest hits I and II on CD

I tried adding the earring, looks a little off hanging mysteriously from his red hair.
