I got a pretty.

swweeks made me a banner. Which was lovely and unexpected and the first time I've received a graphic for no other reason than, just because.

So I had to show it off, didn't I?

And the reason? Well, that was lovely too. She said -
For me, one of the challenges of writing is the description of movement, showing what the character is doing so that the visual image the reader has is as clear as if he were standing there watching. thismaz has no such difficulty. Yesterday, I remarked to her that someone should dub her the master of movement. Well, rather than waiting for "Someone" to do so, I am investing myself with the authority and do so now.

So thank you swweeks, as I said before, I am chuffed to bits.

ETA: I asked if anyone knew who the original artist was, so I could credit, so thank you to Annon and to tabaqui for identifying the original work as by Michael Parkes.

I went and had a look on his web site and it says: All Images © 1975-2004 Michael Parkes®. World Rights Reserved.

So I have taken it down. It was a lovely thought though, and I am grateful.

It was called Puppetmaster and you can see it here: Puppetmaster

Now that is true love and a beautiful graphic. You definitely deserve the honor. I wish I was talented enough to bestow such creations.

OH, very pretty and very nice.
:)

And yeah, Michael Parks, who has a ton of art out there and is just awesome.

Yes, it was, wasn't it.
Thank you for letting me know.

It's a gorgeous pic, and the thought from Steph was lovely. But you're right - no point courting problems on copyright.

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was a lovely thought. But, if someone declares copyright, it is only fair and polite to honour it (and that's kind of more important to me than the whole legality thing, somehow *g*).
I've still got the words though and I can treasure them.
