...been thinking the same thing...

[Mapnapkin]

well.. Mapnapkin?

It came from hangin out at the bar with some friends, we were just laughing and making up word combos to describe funny looking people at the bar around us.

StomachMouth = someone who didn't chew their food
AssBack = A person whos ass seemed to be a little too high on their back.. didn't quite look right
SoupTooth = uh, a person who had food in their teeth.
yes, we were being childish

there were more I wish I could remember them all.

anyway when we were leaving we had to write directions down for someone, only thing around to write on was a napkin.
so.. it was called mapnapkin. it seemed to be the funniest one all night.

I also use souptooth as a nickname.

I hate making up nick names so I just use those cause they make me laugh

thats it

Oh ya

Thank you for all the feedback on the tutorial

Nice to hear from other designers.

I have some other stuff laying around I was thinking about making some more tutorials but, that was harder than I thought it would be.. well time consuming.
I'll have to make them a little easier maybe

Thanks

yeah, i blame lian for posting such crazy intricately well designed tutorials for setting the bar so high.
certainly simpler tutorials are welcome as well. but you gotta admit, looking at a tutorial wrapped in eye-candy rocks.
