This is what Ive been doing

These have been set up as Stickers and Stencils. I can't access the app but these are on there somewhere. But needing some feedback........the BW stencils were easy but the Color ones kicked my ass putting them together. Had to do 15 expressions each. And with all the home crap in the way, it just wore me down getting them done.

Jimmy, these look great! I am so impressed! Like the old Garbage Pail Kids or Monster Cards from the olden days...so cool!

My only comment might be to ask, are you happy with how they read at a small size? Are these supposed to work at a very small scale?? They look great when you see 'em at a reasonable size--but will these be closer to an emoticon role in our internet ecosystem???

Very nice work. I have nothing comparably commercial.
I'm with Marty. Make them Read.

What sort of feedback are you looking for? I think they look great! I agree that they might be pretty busy at a small size.

I watched the video... it's my old EQ friend Bill Trost being interviewed! He's a good guy to be hooked up with... smart and clever at finding ways for people to have fun with new tech.

FWIW:

My two faves without a doubt are "YUCK" and "YOU SO CRAZY." Esp'ly "YOU SO CRAZY," for both the copywriting and the character projection.

Nosferatu "GROSS" a strong third.

Great job. I've seen other illustrator type work of yours on other web venues. You really make tight, clean, finished stuff. You should do a YouTube Illustrator tutorial. (Can you sound like a 12-year-old or an Iranian diplomat?)

Youtube tutorials. You nailed it Ben. So welcome, so har to listen to.

You Tube....hmmm I have been telling Jimmy that for years. Our favorite redneck has some great illustrations for sure...I've gone through his portfolios plenty of times at his old apartment in S.D....if I had a smidgen of his artistic talent...YOU WOULD KNOW MY NAME. :) always impressed by Jimmy's work...I just wish he was as well.
