Nearing, I don't know if you remember posting a comment on my column concerning my avatar and its similarity to your work. I'm not even sure which avatar you are speaking of because I'm no sure when you posted that comment since my message board has been blank until today 10/15/09. I thought nobody liked me. I've had a photo of me at the tiller all summer, but that was the first photo I have used. Please tell me which picture you liked. I've had one called a knothole in space, a cricket and a black cat. I do them using Paint and a Wacom Tablet. Thanks for the kind comment and for being a force of good on the Vine. Feel free to contact me by email. I'm not sure how reliable this comment board is.
