Painted Snapshot
With Gretchen traveling home today, there's no fear of her seeing this until I pick her up from the airport. I commissioned an artist to craft this portrait of Sprocket. Nice, huh? It got here yesterday, minutes after I received another package. If it'll fit in the trunk, I'll put it in there and surprise her when she goes to stow her suitcase. This is so cool, and I think she'll love it, too.

Awww, that's so cute! Looks just like him! Okay, so I've never seen him in 'person', but he sure looks like the dog I see in the photos and the short movies.

It looks like they take a photograph, import it into a program like Painter, razzle-dazzle it, and produce their interesting portraits.
The picture of Sprocket is a keeper. I think she'll like it.

Wow, what a cute Sprocket! I think it's a beautiful drawing (much more nicer than mine, that's for sure..)!
I'm sure Gretchen will love it!

That is an amazing picture of Sprocket! I've wanted to do something like that of my feather-baby Dolce but it's much too expensive for me! That hexadecimal piece is pretty darn cool too! I bet he could sell prints of that stuff on ThinkGeek or something similar.
