Artist's Comments

This started as a "Now Hiring" sign i created for my job. It was a decent image, so I decided to screw around with the message for my own amusement. I'm sure this concept isn't original, but the work is mine.

At any rate, I surf around a lot of different video game sites to write news posts for my company's forum. If there's one thing that bothers me about the user comments, it's the rampant fanboy-ism. I can't decide which faction is the worst, but I will say Sony and Nintendo fanboys whine the most and the loudest. Stop being a fanboy. Enjoy video games for what they are, not what system they're on.

If you'd like to make your own Uncle Mario message, drop me a line and I'll give you the base image! This could become an internet fad with enough participation... If anyone wants to make t-shirts, I want a cut!

Oh, and the font is called 'Continuum.' It's the Wii font.

Be fearless. Fear leads to panic, and it's panic that kills. Your inhibitions are a hazard.

Wow. This hasn't gotten nearly enough comments! It's very well done, and makes a good point. I hope more people see it!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun doing this. We've got a really nice printer here at work. You should see this as a print.

Thanks Hellena!

Yeah, it's hard to get noticed around dA based on one's work alone, especially given the amount of work that gets uploaded. I dunno. Maybe I just don't do enough fan art.

It's great to see you're around though!

I think that to be noticed on dA, you must either just have good luck, or as you say draw lots of fanart. preferably yaoi-themed, or something else that will please the fangirls. (speaking of which, that oekaki i made with Acid by the computer with a lame yaoi joke, it's currently up to 577 comments! it's getting scary. Too bad they don't seem to check out the rest of the gallery ^.x,)

If you don't want to wait for people to discover you by your talent, try drawing a cute bishie Naruto. i'm sure it would end up on the front page. ^.-
