Look what my dear friend Mike surprised me with!

I am completely awestruck. I think this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. And doesn’t it look just like me?
I hoped to find the perfect words for this post, but I’m darn near speechless.
Thank you so much, Mike!

amazing! i’ don’t know who I’m more jealous of. you for receiving it or Mike for having the talent.
August 30th, 2007 at 6:13 am
So I saw this avatar in the mybloglog widget on my blog. I said hey, that looks like Tish!
I came over here, and sure enough…it was you!
It looks very nice, Mike did a great job.
August 30th, 2007 at 6:38 am
WOW Tish!!! That’s amazing!!! Is there a way for you to print & frame something like that? It would look great in a black frame in your computer room!! Not that I know what your computer room looks like but it’s so “AVATAR” that’s what it reminds me of.
Great job Mike!!!

Os – Thanks! Looks just like me, doesn’t it?
Mush – Thanks!
Running – Haha! I know what you mean. I’d love to have talent like that!
Bucky – Thanks! That Mike is awesome! I might have to propose to him after this!
Flat Coke – I agree with you! I’m planning to take it to Kinko’s for printing this weekend, and then I’m going to take it to a framer! It will look great hanging in my computer room!

Awesome job, Mike! And funny, I was just telling Tish I never see her right shoulder in any photos she uploads; it’s always her left shoulder. Must be the way she always leans in for the camera. But somehow you managed to capture the ever-elusive right shoulder!!! Well done indeed.
And yeah, it does look just like you, Tish! Now you gotta butter up Mike a bit more to draw up your dogs…

Mike is so awesome, Can I have him, well in blog land LOL
I sound like hes a toy or something…. I’m tired LOL and I am also stupid tired right now, So if I say things that don’t make sense, it’s just me LOL LOL
Hugs!!!
August 30th, 2007 at 4:28 pm

August 30th, 2007 at 5:23 pm
It looks great, I saw it over on Mike’s site, too.
August 31st, 2007 at 9:03 am
Wow! Just Gorgeous! (like you
)
Mike really “captured” you
August 31st, 2007 at 9:15 am
I wonder if he used Gimp to make that? Very well done.
August 31st, 2007 at 11:10 am
lol. I was just floating around on his blog and saw this. i wondered who it was.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:21 pm
@Complete Geek: Nope, no Gimp. I use Illustrator CS3 for just about everything.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Very impressive work. It would take me a while to do something like that, but I’m a super perfectionist.
August 31st, 2007 at 5:03 pm
LOL…so am I. It took me about a week
August 31st, 2007 at 5:42 pm
