So awesome. This is Anniken's arm from Norway, with a tattoo of one of my boom box drawings. I love drawing boom boxes, and if you've been following my work for a while, it's kind of obvious. Thanks so much for sending this along, Anniken! You are terrific.

I was especially happy to be featured alongside the likes Seth Godin, whose blog I've been reading since forever, and Soule Mama, my wife's favorite online read. (And no, I am not putting myself in the same league as these fine bloggers, just enjoying their company!)
