Self Portrait – won an award! :-)


I did this self portrait a long time ago – my tribute to Andy Warhol – I studied and adore pop art…probably the biggest influence on me. Anyway, today someone stumbled on it and gave me a Garden Gnome award….cool, eh?

The Garden Gnome Award

I love how art gets around on Flickr. I also found in the new statistics area of flickr (found here) that this photo was used on a site as an avatar sort of thing….cool when someone “gets it” eh? Oddly, I’m not at all upset when people use my art, I find it totally flattering….it’s neat when someone likes something enough to use it – I figure my art only has a limited following in my own circle…it’s neat when it gets around on the net.
