Artist's Comments
This was a project I gave myself to force me forward in learning techniques and short cuts with the text features in layers of PhotoShop.
Actually, EVERYthing I'm doing lately is a learning project. Thanks for the patience. Trying not to suck at this a year from now. Comments
 Kick ass!
-- "Fred Durst can surf a piece of plywood up my ass". - Trent Reznor haw haw! SWEET!
Thanks! -- We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!! Oy! -'Flogging Molly'     Awesome color choices/combos.
The only thing that I would change is the phrasing of "25-Hours Open", to me that implies that htey had their grand opening and have been in business for 25 hours now. Whereas, "Open 25 hours a day" or some variation thereof lets you focus more readily on the message and the humor in it. Other than that it is another in a long line of "Winners". -- Comfort the Disturbed, Disturb the Comfortable Yeah, I have to agree with you, there.
I was laying in bed trying to think of why I would word it that way. Then I remembered. I was all too used to New York vendors and small forgein business merchants whose English was their third language. I guess I was so bemused by the awkward wording of things in the window, I adopted it without realizing.  Oy vey. You tly, you fail... Vell, vhat can you do? -Egh! -- We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!! Oy! -'Flogging Molly'  -- We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight!! Oy! -'Flogging Molly'  Please check out mimulux - your work is somewhat similer
to hers in embronic form... at least this piece... she exhits a _lot_ and is an old DA friend... -- Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind. W.S. The happiest time in a man's life is after his first divorce becomes final. John Kenneth Galbraith  "I was all too used to New York vendors and small forgein business merchants
whose English was their third language. I guess I was so bemused by the awkward wording of things in the window, I adopted it without realizing. "That reminds me of the snack stand in the Seoul airport whose specialty was "American Dog Sausage"...   -- Imagination + discipline = creativity No big deal or anything close to it, I still got the point witout any problem. It just sounded a little off to me in my intial brain scan of it. I did not want to detract from the fact that this was a very cool piece. My marketing BS came into play here before I could stop it and I may have got just a little bit on the ANAL retentive carousel....

Critiques
This is as cute as the first voodoo doll i used to have of one of my ex-girlfriends.
You've chosen an excellent background that exudes atmosphere and yet retains graphical simplicity and your digi-tweaks to it enhance the mystery and illusion.
The Logo is cute and the candle "i" makes it.
The only "damning" i have to fling are on a couple of type elements.
As my partner in art-crime, Alan pointed out ...the clunky-ness of the 25 -hours open phrase was a finger to my center eye ... However, after reading your explanation of trying to emulate "bad foreign english" ...it sits better with me now.
That didnt come across to me on it's own and wouldnt have without say, maybe a hint of a sign on the building in Chinese, etc., ...and maybe changing the lower portion of the by-line to "yes we that goods"
In a society of free imagination and tainted by the Potter avalanche like we all are...my first inclination was to maybe change it to:
OPEN: 25/8
The only other little pokes are that "provisions" could be center better under "hex and spell" ...and the title i think would carry more charm and class if it were just called "Damnations".
As it is it perhaps looks like you are giving away the punch line in the title and if DA's title limits were longer you would have added "Spoiler Alert" ...lol...
Otherwise...you are now my favored witch-pointer-outer and revenge specialist !
