Fish 4T, that is really cool Fix the hole the computer graphic made in the pelvic fin and maybe extend the lower jaw a tiny bit and enhance the eye a tiny bit and you have all the makings of a great T shirt stencil or wall print. FBF this could become a profession!

Dam Adam, your drawing is outstanding bro! My skills are at about that of a 5 year old child with a crayon, hence I can really appreciate those who possess such skills.

| A few mobs down our way that will print anything you want on a t-shirt Craig. I'm guessing that there would be similar mobs in Auckland. Wouldn't be that hard to get one made up hey? |

| That does look like a happy snap must be a "before"the hookup moment. Now you need the "What did I just eat" one. |
