Maybe I'll get one for my next birthday!<BR/><BR/>Mrs Chili, you might be a couple years behind me - try not to have a melt-down (like me) when it comes.<BR/><BR/>Linda, I can't bring myself to admit my advanced age - but I'm nowhere near 101!<BR/><BR/>Debra, I use an Epson 2200 inkjet. I printed on heavy matte paper (65 lb) and kept the acrylic on the dry side.<BR/><BR/>Bobo's Owner, thanks for visiting from Malaysia!

Don't feel bad, I still confuse my mother's birthday with my aunt's. Guess you can add me to the forgetful club. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, terrific illustration! If this is the quality level you produce when you crank things out in 3 hours, you should do all of your work this way! It has tons of life and appeal (and a different style to boot.) Those are mighty tiny tighty-whiteys. Are you sure he doesn't need a warm blanket instead of a cold pillow?John B.

I've never tried this with my pillow, but there is actually a product now called Chillow....a pillow you put in the freezer or fridge and it stays cool for hours.
