Both are a couple juicy ties. I actually like the first one, but I would have swapped the colors in the body with olive vinyl and a dark brown uni wire.

fishhead, Howdy;
#1 looks like the 'crunchy on da outside and nice an gooey on da inside' ........ need I say more?
#2 reeks of 'comfort food' ....... need to fix me something to eat, really.
