Need ideas/advice for some small letters

Hi.
I want to have the name “B GUNN” at the bottom between the silver areas, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what it should look like and my attempts have been disappointing and this is my primary reason for posting here. But I welcome any suggestions or critique.

Thanks for your time!

FYI I plan to increase the barrel size on the guns to make them look more cartoony.
And the beads are an attempt at Ben-Day dots like in comic books but I’m not sure how I feel about them at this point.

The bee is based on a design by Emillie Ferris from her book titled “Painting With Thread”.

Rep omitted primary disabling condition at ALJ hearing, received unfavorable decision. Need advice on next steps for late-stage appeal.

I recently received an unfavorable decision from the ALJ and need some advice moving forward, specifically regarding how my case was handled and switching representation.

The Situation: At my recent ALJ hearing, my lawyer asked me about several minor health issues but completely omitted my primary disabling condition (orthostatic intolerance from POTS) during his opening remarks and my testimony.
The Evidence: All relevant medical records for this condition were already submitted in my file as an exhibit prior to the hearing. However, because the condition wasn't formally diagnosed until last year, I am forced to rely on a long history of documented symptoms and a retrospective medical opinion from my PCP to tie it back to my Date Last Insured which was the end of 2018.
The Hearing & Decision: My rep seemed to realize the mistake at the last minute and asked the Vocational Expert a hypothetical about someone needing to frequently lie down, but there was no explanation for those requirements and the ALJ’s decision didn’t even address it.

My current attorney has filed an appeal, but I really want to switch to a different lawyer if at all possible.

  1. Does the fact that my attorney omitted the primary condition in his comments and my testimony at the ALJ hearing constitute a strong basis for an Appeals Council review? And if so how do I bring that to their attention?
  2. Is it even possible to find a new attorney to take over a case at the Appeals Council stage?

Thanks for reading. I’d appreciate any feedback/advice.
