I just got the most amazing email ever. Someone wrote to tell me that she wants a tattoo of one of the cards from my deck. A tattoo.
She wrote because her tattoo artist is afraid of losing the detail if he had to work from the printed card. The originals aren't much larger, but they do have more detail. I'm going to do a high-res scan for her and see if that will work.
In an old Mary Fleener comic, she posted a photo of a guy with a full back piece based on her work. At the time I couldn't imagine how it would feel to have someone like your art so much they would permanently imprint it on their body. And you know what? I still can't. I'm a little overwhelmed by this.
(In the comic, Fleener announced that when the guy dies, she gets his skin. I just asked for a photo.)

wow!
i wonder if you should put that on the "reviews" page of the site? ;-)
Very nice. Congratulations on the honor!
Dude, you rock! And what's more, do you have any original art of the Mercury "m" for Scorpio? I'm planning to get such tattooed on me, and if you have one already, this could be a twofer.
You completely rule.
