# 140 characters is not enough to express a thought
Even if I tweeted `140 characters is not enough to express a thought` people wouldn't know what I mean.
What I mean is thoughts need some explanation to be meaningful.
### 140 characters is just enough to say something and have it be translated into something you
don't mean
I think this makes twitter fertile soil for making people taking things you say the wrong way or out
of context. When we are over that 140 character limit we start to take out phrases like `I think` or

I'm looking for an artist to collaborate on a simple identicon generator.

An identicon is a icon that is generated based on a key. The key could be a username, email or whatever, any combination of words, numbers, or other characters. Once the generator has a key it will generate a random image. The same key will always give the same image and very similar keys will give vastly different results.

It's probably easier to show than tell so here's an example. http://identicon.net/ They are using basic shapes and colors but I was thinking it would be neat to stitch together something cooler.

That's where you come in. I'm looking for someone who can make a bunch of layers that can be stitched together, moved, rotated, colorized, etc. to make a cool looking icon. It's up to you what it makes, could be a silhouette, scene, abstract image, whatever you want.
