    Sid V. has never looked healthier. It's good to see he finally put on some weight...

    What a joyful mix of media representing the same occasion. I really like what you did with "Scary", but I just can't get enough of looking at "FrankenSweetie". What a great use of Illustrator!

    OK, here's the important question... Is it really legal to have this much fun creating????
