Thanks for the compliments guys. Here's an updated version. I've probably spent a good 6 hours on it thus far. I have to redo the left hand so its the
same size as the right. The bottom banners arent flowing well so im gonna have to fix that as well.

Very slick, I wish I had talent. You should set the clock at 2 Minutes to Midnight.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I would shorten up one of the clock hands so it looks more like an hour and minute hand

I really enjoy seeing the progression.

No, we don't he he.
Great job again. Hmmm... I don't know why bands keep bothering me for artwork, when everybody really wants stuff like this - and I don't deliver it.

There is a huge market for what you do. The collage style you do is very popular and probably always will be. You dont do shotty work and you cant
find a better designer for the price anywhere else.

I've reached the point where im going to take a break from this design. I need to look at it with fresh eyes in a couple days and see what needs to be
changed.

I love the whole thing.... my only suggestion (and its not much of a suggestion, its more of an observation) is that the center of the clock looks
kind of bare. I dont know what could go there, but it just looks like a big open white space. Maybe bigger #'s on the clock and done in roman
numerals?

that's a good call, honus.
the clock is too clean compared to the rest of the design.
i'd also recommend considering doing the lettering by hand.
that shit is tight, though!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

At this point its the same. I have some issues with line weight and shading I need to take care of. I've kinda put it off to the side for now. When I
get it completly finished I'll post it.
