tribute

For all the many things to which I could pay tribute to my brother, Tag, I choose to recognize one thing that sets him apart from everyone else in the entire world.  Since it's inception, there has only been one individual who had the courage to be an open follower of my art blog.  Now I know there are a handful of you that secretly take a glance here and there, and I appreciate your visit, I do.  But according to my secret blog statistics, my brother stands alone as my 1 follower.  I salute you Taggart Giles.

As a token of my esteemed gratitude I post a rough sketch depicting your majesty.


Some of you may be wondering why the above image is merely a low resolution photo of the sketch taken with a camera phone.  Well my friends, I still have not developed the habit to save my work as I go and my computer loves to freeze on me when I least suspect it.  This is not the first time this has happened, and I suspect it won't be the last.  Does anyone know if Photoshop has an autosave feature?

So in conclusion... I'm a doofus.

Wow. That is real good. Real. I would like to be known as a follower as well for the sole purpose of being known as "your majesty". I would like that real much.

Bravo. How 'bout a prize for your sis who always comments?

That's true Shell. You are my most faithful ovationist. You'll get your tribute some day.

Aileen: All it takes is a click of wrist and you can join the ranks of the elite few.

Pretty much anyone can make a comment, but I have openly shown that I support this blog 24/7. Being an open follower isn't for everyone though, Shell. Search your heart, and you TOO may be a follower.

Looks good Tom. Are you going to try again?

A BIG HEARTY "HUH?????" from the Mother Unit!!!!!! I come here ALL the time AND I gave you Life...

Mad Hadder: i am by no means belittling your frequent visits here. I just thought it appropriate to recognize the single solitary person who has clicked on the 'follow' button indicating that he is an official follower of the blog. However it would not be as appropriate to pay tribute to she who gave me life by a mere blog post. Wouldn't you agree? Your tribute would need to be offered in a much grander fashion. Tag: i think I'll probably give it another go sometime.

Very nice work.

To my knowledge Photoshop does not have an autosave option. So save often.
