As if living in a box wasn't hard enough. Hope you guys enjoy. And as always a big pre-thanks for any comments!

Love the way you rendered the text! Very retro.

ajsolid84 on Sep 12 '07

I agree about the text. It is nice. The concept confuses me, though. Why a hand in a box? I get that it's impossible for him to play twister, but what is the point of a hand in a box?

DPF on Sep 12 '07

It's Thing from the Addams Family.

ButterflyWings on Sep 12 '07

The hand is a bit too feminine to be Thing.

nmb on Sep 12 '07

oh this is quite nice.

danielbgon on Sep 12 '07

really good job. love the font.

wicked-studios on Sep 12 '07

I got it was Thing right away ... but I think maybe he should be snapping as if to say "Aw nuts!" =) Just a thought.

roweben on Sep 12 '07

what font is that, by the way?

DPF on Sep 12 '07

Roweben - I drew the lettering by hand and scanned it in. Thanks! :)

reminds me of Dr. Seuss lettering

nikolina100 on Sep 13 '07

cute!

soochumby on Sep 13 '07

Nice!

latcholia on Sep 13 '07

he should be giving the shot caller the finger.

epika pubika on Sep 13 '07

if its from the adams family maybe make it more clear that it is, or you could go with wicked-studios

bballstar23 on Sep 13 '07

Agree with ozzkloz

caitlinmichelle on Sep 13 '07

I agree that it's feminine looking.. looks like there's long fingernails.. but I love the design and I dont think that'd interfere with people realizing that it's thing from the adams family.. ... 5!

maxattack on Sep 14 '07

dude....awesome!!!

Twiggyhall on Sep 14 '07

I think it's hysterical - I lol'd

eskimokiss on Sep 14 '07

I don't know what people are going on about. It is clearly Thing from The Adams Family.
p.s. this is on par with some of glennz' greatest puns!

DPF on Sep 14 '07

Gracias, eskimokiss! Means a lot. :)

Thing in the Addams Family didn't have very "manly" hands... an well manicured too.

Sargent Sexy Pants on Sep 15 '07

I think it might be easier to have the thing just standing on its fingers like you see when it runs around. and maybe put the hand on a circle to begin with.
but i still love it. :D

ntfiction on Sep 15 '07

I really don't think that the speech bubble is necessary. The picture is funny all by it self.

Willish on Sep 16 '07

I love it.
As is.
I want to see it on a grey or a purple though, maybe even a dark blue.

ottr on Sep 16 '07

I got it right away. That lettering is bad ass. 5$

wullagaru on Sep 18 '07

yeah this really is great

blueschiz on Sep 18 '07

I got it and laughed out loud. I like it as is, but also though you could try an expression with the hand, perhaps turned up in a "what to do" gesture. Now it looks a bit nelly. I love the idea - and the wrinkles in the mat. Nice touch!

Theolabbot on Sep 19 '07

OK, now I have a song in my head: "There's, a hand, inna box..." very nice concept & design
