Thanks for the Selina pic, it was excellent. You seem to have the same style as me, bordering on the edge of believability. Thats what I try and aim for anyway. I dont know if you are familiar with my namesakes art, MC Escher, but his work is very similar. Thanks also for the offer of doing Selina again from the origional, but I had a go privately and I couldnt improve on yours, it looked identical ! Cheers bud, lets see some more posts

Thanks for the kudos, Cornelius - as I explained, it's rare that I do a nats pic, because I'm perfectly happy with siliconized babes, if they're not exaggerated.
I thought you would realize that I'm familiar with M.C. Escher's work:  otherwise why would I have originally addressed you as "Maurits"*?  btw your logo is superb in itself and as a reminder of Escher's style.  Have you perhaps tried a morph in which it is unclear whether the breast is inside or outside of the bra, depending on the point of view?  Hmmmmm?  That wou' be fookin' greet, mon!

I suppose you know how Escher replied to Mick Jagger when the latter addressed him as "Dear Maurits"?

[Escher]

I sort of guessed you liked Escher, sorry for asking a ( now ) dumb question. Will have a think about the in / out bra thing ! Havent heard the  Mick Jagger question, please enlighten me ?.
P.s, was that an attempt at a Scottish accent ?    
P.p.s on the subject of logos, how do you get a logo on your mail ( as in your very colourful saint at the bottom ). I guess its UBB ( what ?!! ) and Im a bit of a virgin. Any help appreciated....

I think practically everyone admires Escher's work, though they may not know his name.

Havent heard the Mick Jagger question, please enlighten me ?.

In a book of Escher's works I saw a letter from Mick Jagger, addressing him as "Dear Maurits" and telling Escher how much he admired his creations and asking permission to use one on an album cover.  Escher replied stuffily that he had no wish to be associated with Jagger's music, and finished with a frrrosty: "...and in future, Mr. Jagger, note that I am not 'Dear Maurits' but remain
Yours Truly,
M. C. Escher"
brrrrr!  

P.s, was that an attempt at a Scottish accent ?

Aye, laddie.  Well, ye didna bluidy hearrr me sea it, did ye now?  It's not easy to imitate accents in writing. I make it a practice to try and welcome newcomers in some approximation of their native tongue.  We've got plenty of Sassenachs here, but no other Scotch* participants I know of.

P.p.s on the subject of logos, how do you get a logo on your mail ( as in your very colourful saint at the bottom ). I guess its UBB ( what ?!! ) and Im a bit of a virgin.

Well, I'll be gentle.  Actually, I'm one of the less computer-smart people around here. You can see that others have cool pictorial signatures, even animated ones, but I believe these have to be posted somewhere on the web.  I am pretty proud of my logo in that I worked out how to make it entirely out of alphanumeric symbols in various fonts and colors (OK, colours to you) in HTML code.  Unfortunately the "symbol font", i.e. Greek-letter font, no longer seems to be working in the new Forum, so that mouth is an ordinary "J" instead of the script theta that it used to be (let's try that here: J: shit!). That theta (try again: Q: shite!) was a good representation of a tongue in a cheek, which is what many of my posts are (and I hope you take them in that spirit).  If you want to see how it's coded in HTML, right-click and click on "View Source" - or if you're really interested I'll send it to you.

Well, as you say in the U.K., keep yerrr peckerrr oop.

* "Scotch", a deliberate mistake, aimed at, uh, getting your Irish up.     I also make it a habit of jibing at newcomers to see if they have the patience to last out the frequent flame wars here. I bet you didn't pass the test.

Thanks for the Escher quote, most great artist have a bee up their ass, which probably includes us lot.

In reference to the Scottish jokes, fire away, I can take it !. I'm probably an authority in anti-'scotch'ism, as I have lived in England for quite a few years. It looks like I may have passed your feindish test then....    

On logos, I sussed out how to do a UBB logo, unfortunately as you said I need to have it posted on the web somewhere so I can link to it. Thought about Yahoo as I have a few accounts with them but they are so f****d up at the moment I wouldn't trust it to work. Please please please Webmaster can I have my own gallery ??!!

Think that will work ?

See you later, dude.
