I had this idea back at the very beginning of the contest, but just got around to doing it now. I thought it would be a fun idea that works with the contest, but is also independent of it.

The idea is that we all have so many choices in life, like we're standing at a vending machine, but sometimes that thing we really want gets stuck after we put in our money. Its just out of reach, and we're out of change.

This was my visual metaphor for that feeling, when you come so close to your dreams and end up just a little short.

I like it a lot. $5

Moosekisser on Sep 27 '06

i love it.

toastburner on Sep 27 '06

This is great, a sure $5, but anyone who's tried this knows you can't get your arm up in there. Not that it matters, the design is still groovy.

This is such a good idea/design. Very creative and I love the way it's executed.

Luke... on Sep 27 '06

all the elements are very poignant.
A+

Nice execution

parkagirl on Sep 27 '06

Love it, as I have the worst luck with vending machines and end up in that position once every two weeks.

camerondaigle on Sep 27 '06

Hey thanks guys! I'm glad you like it, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Staffy man- that means a lot coming from you.

bortwein on Sep 27 '06

It would be nice to have more color in the design. Nice concept.

yeohgh on Sep 27 '06

LOVE it, and yes, it might be good if it has more colour on the design as well, your have lots of great work! Keep ROCKING!

Nodus on Sep 27 '06

His arm is all junked up... It seems disporportionate compared to the length of his other arm... His left forearm is rather long, but the right one is just kinda stubby inside that vending machine.

Maybe it's the glass.

Five_question_marks on Sep 27 '06

Brilliant $5

WavedOut on Sep 27 '06

I LOVE the concept, though some more color or slight shift of the design up and to the right/left would be nice

gamejunkie on Sep 28 '06

Heh 5$ =D

relaxjolene on Sep 28 '06

I definitely have to agree with everyone else on this design...it's incredible! I just wish it was on something other than white...maybe yellow...or a darker blue perhaps. I don't know, but I'm just not a huge fan of a lot of white space (i.e. white t-shirts). Other than that this is an absolutely incredible design...so $5 from me! Good job!
