"Nobody's Baby" Portable Illustration

January 31, 2008 · Hurrahs!

A few weeks back, an awesome applet named Carly emailed me some photos of her freshly inked Nobody's Baby Now tattoo:

I think it looks pretty wonderful!
I get quite a few emails from thoughtful & conscientious folks asking to use one of my images for a tattoo. I always say "Yes, of course, just try to send me a photo"! It's one of the most flattering requests, in my book anyway.

Thank you so much for the amazing turnout/support for the update on Tuesday. I can never seem to make enough of those darn dolls! Don't fret about those gals, though...I love making them and plan to always have them included in the updates (for the foreseeable future, anyway).

We're mail-rooming it today (and probably tomorrow), so I'll be off.
Thanks, Carly, for the highest of compliments...and thanks to you again for the great update, my dear applets!

Nice tattoo! If you're going to have one done it should certainly be something you love--so this really is a big compliment. A friend of mine had some artwork her son made committed permanently to her skin (he was about 4yrs). I always thought it was sweet and very personal.

I have no desire to ever get a tatoo, but if I had to I would get one of your girls, Emily:) That came out really good and I love the saying!
