    How amazing is that? Time Magazine found the copy of my Obama portrait that i had posted on my Flickr account and included it in a photo essay. It's the Dec 29th Issue, it's on page 41 and also on page 37! Pretty cool, eh?

    I saw that (a thumbnail version) and I thought it was a photo that you had painted from!

    Did you get any credits?

    That's so cool! I tried to find it in the online version of this issue but haven't managed to do so yet.

    About time you got this kind of attention. You're GOOD, Mimi--really good. We keep telling you and it's true.
