Chongo-Thank YOU! for giving us all something we can work for that really can make a difference! I can't tell you the number of times you made me laugh and inspired my brain!
Brad-Thank you...er...i guess...I imagine that's what I'll look like in about 5-10 years!

Here's the studio/closeup shots for you art folks!
Here's the inside...7-7.5 inches deep...Very Hard...hence the clumsiness of the "matting"...
had to use a long brush and it was hard to get lighting in there!
Chongolio suggested i put a gecko chilling on the inside,just like on the Islands!

Very hard to photograph!
