Yes, a flower, most certainly! Poppies would be nice… ;)

I’m kinda waiting till I have a bit more time to customize it more properly, you suggested a flower?
And yes, a texture made by you would look a lot better then the simple one I made

Yeey! How’s the hat coming along, or waiting for the SLart texture? :/ (If so, let me know, I’ll de-prioritize smth else then. ;))

A pic I made to show my disapproval, without infringing the trademark (I’m trying to play it safe)

Oblomova, what was the speech about? How to screw over those who also try to make the best out of a virtual world? ;)

And indeed a pity, I would have been very curious to his answers. But ‘I’m doing this for the good of the SLartist community’ is getting a bit boring. =)

i just saw the slasshole give a pathetic speech at the newschool auditorium. i went to check it out without knowing who he is i thought he sucked. i wish i had known about this before i went to the lecture i would have called him on it. he was horrible and this whole thing was sponsored by aperture foundation which also sucks. oh well.

Sugar, my myoptic view is much appreciate hered, as this is my blog. I don’t force you to comment, nor to read. As for the more enlightened forum, feel free to start one. If you know of any, feel free to export the discussion there. Sad, though, that non of those enlightened persons felt the urge to bring this one up.

Filthy, as said before, Richard Minsky never told anyone why he thought he deserved property over the SLart word, except for ‘I registered it - first’. Even so, I would still plead that it’s generic by now. Having heard a lot on SLart but barely something on SLARTmagazine since my first rezzday.
