    Sweet work. I'm not crazy about the font choice as it seems a little heavy and western, which to me isn't "simpler".

    I really like the texture of the snow on the ground.

    Awesome. Great use of textures and shapes. I agree with Steve about the font - but still awesome.

    Once again, amazing work. I don't agree with the guys about the typeface. I don't think that because the text says the word "simpler" the typeface choice should be a more minimal one. The illustration alone communicates that perfectly.

    To clarify, I don't think the typestyle needs to be simple as in minimalistic. I just think it's a bit heavy, blocky and western for a piece that's so touching and delicate.

    Either way, I'm merely nitpicking and it's a personal opinion. Craig, it's a really nice work.

    Is it time for Winter, already?!

    I think the type just needs to be loosened up a bit. I like it.

    Question for you, what is this for? Are the graphics that you create intended for posters, greeting cards etc or just doodling for fun? If they are posters, where can I buy me one :)

    Love the illustration! So sweet and good. I, too, think a lighter typeface could help this little guy along.

    I wonder if what people see in the font, and dislike, is that it is very much an Old West typeface, the kind you'd see in a Wanted poster. Not only does it give it a very Western feel, but it both was and was not a simpler time ;-)

    I love the version of this on your site without the text on it. Beautiful!
