Something Like This, Only Better

4of7 of Little Worlds has been kicking around the idea of giving out an “award” of sorts to people who inspire him to create one of his awesome drawings, but he’s a little unsure on what it would look like

Although he’s tentatively decided to call it the “Musey”, which I think is perfect.

Anyway, here’s a pitiful mock-up of the direction I would suggest for it:

With the stock-photo light bulb image being filled by some Little-World-style artwork.

If 4of7 decides to go this route, I would suggest that if he wants this to be displayed on a blogger’s sidebar, the final design should look good at a width of 200 pixels, so probably don’t do one of those billion-line detailed works. Something a little blockier, maybe.
