You should probably keep your day job. Your artwork is, well, interesting. I need an eye exam now...

Just trying to help my optometry colleaugues out there Billski ;) :lol:

Actually compared to the usual scrub top prints that I wear daily in my office, that background is kind of tame! :eek: :lol:

Are you marketing a line of Temporary Tooth Tatoos? Could be a great line of products to convince kids to brush their teeth. Now with flouride!

C-ten - suprisingly (or maybe not so) they actually DO make something akin to a temporary tooth tattoo! Basically what it is is a flat disc that you can cement to the surface of a tooth just like an orthodontic bracket. There's literally hundreds of different designs on the discs. And when you grow tired of it, it can be popped off quite easily (just like an orthodontic bracket once again), the cement polished off the tooth surface, and one's tooth is back to "normal"

Heck, nowadays they even make colored (think red,blue,green, etc.) filling material for use mainly in baby teeth! And let me tell you, that sometimes as i'm have a "debate" with an unruly 6 or 7 year old, the ability to say how about I give you a green tooth can be the difference between me successfully and quietly completing that restoration and me having the second coming of the devil child in my chair! ;)

After I typed that, I searched for it, and was quite surprised at the variety- not just the glue on ones, but there's rub-on ones, too. Amazing what they've come up with to spend money on.

The colored tooth trick is awesome- very nice. I can see how that is both highly effective, and useful for maintaining some sanity.
