Not sure if I'll edit it or not later, if so I'll just edit the direct link used here.

Seriously, what's more abstract then a ditto made of text?

I have to agree with Davian here. It's not that all abstracty, imo.

Just curious, how would you know if the image is older than two weeks?[/quote]
We don't. We take your word for it. But if you will get caught, it won't play in your favor if you will try to enter another SoTW.

Once again, more grunge than abstract.

Why don't you decide the next week's SOTW early so that some of us can think of the entry before hand or when we get some time, that way it better suits the style of the SOTW at that time. I feel part of the problem here is that there isn't much entry time to come up with something when it's a bit more difficult of a category.

Because, Abstract is really not a very detailed definition or style, Abstract can really be anything that doesn't look like a standard style or that deviates from a style in certain ways.

This.

Although I do understand what you mean by an Abstract style, I think you are defining an Abstract style something to closely related to Fractals. A Graphics Piece can be abstract without the use of Fractals.

Maybe we should have gone with a grunge theme this week. :P
The first DDL's sig was nice. :3

As for the timing: Well, you get 3 days to complete it. You didn't have to submit the sig right away. You still have time until tomorrow evening to fix it, if you'd like. 3 days is too little for a sig? :unsure:

Personally when I think of abstract art, I think of Malevich, Kandinksi, and Kooning. But Abstract is a very broad and vague term.

It's not that it's 3 days, 3 days is more than enough, it's that you have 3 days to decide on the type of sig, find the material, and make it work around your own schedule. Not to mention get it approved if you do anything beyond a cookie cutter idea to that style.

Just my two cents, I don't care. I generally won't do the SOTW unless I have an idea I like or a topic that is fun. Not good enough to come up with something for every category.
