    Your presentation sills and drawing talent is enviable ha ha, you make it look so easy. Still loving the ‘split’ red ones and and the ones in the bottom left of the ‘orange toasters’ page.

    My vote is for concept 2 although it’s a close call. Very nice sketches!

    Wow very nice, I say concept 1 though I’m really loving the orange accent on the 3rd concept. I don’t think my quality holiday renders qualify for blog posting like yours ha ha
