Promising to not make a habit of it (and thinking that I'll likely never do it again) I present art from my youth. I was 14 years old, or something thereabouts, and had asked my mother to drive me across town so I could meet my very first client. He was the owner of a business that was half costume rental and half custom screen printing, and he was contemplating creating a line of custom tshirts. I arrived with a stack of artwork I hoped he'd consider purchasing for his new endeavor. After roughly half an hour we shook hands and I returned to the car happily waving a check. No, Micky and Pluto viewed through Frank Frazetta-colored lenses turned out to be one design he did not want. It is, however, the only one of the designs I presented to him that hasn't fallen into a yawning chasm of forgetfulness forevermore nevermore to return.

Full disclosure: The color, the background, and the stretchy shadow were added many years later when the art was brought back into the light of day to be utilized in the creation of one of many downloadble desktop backgrounds. That was way back when 1024x768 monitors were something special and only rock stars and oil magnates owned them. But we've already spent too much time strolling down Memory Lane to be wandering off into that bit of desktop resolution history. THE END.

Seriously, please think about making it available in the more common screen resolutions of these times.

(if that's possible without the ghost or the lawyers of mister Disney hunting you for the rest of your natural life and afterlife)
