Hey, Mark, now that you're back on the mainland west coast, the chances are much better that I might actually get to meet ya one day -- 'specially if you come back to visit your old stomping grounds in Seattle one of these days. Of course, I was really looking forward to your Mudcat gathering in Hawaii whenever you'd get around to that! §:-D

Housewarming, eh? Hafta look around for a suitable present.
Hmmm ... How 'bout I paint ya a picture for your wall.

Just tell me what you'd like -- a portrait of you? a pineapple? Mauna Kea? a tiki? a hula girl with a uke? Elvis? -- and I'll 'paint' it and you can watch it here:

Here's an example of how you can watch "artwork" take shape at artpad:
