At one point in my life in fandom I carried on a correspondence with various artists, among them Lia "Tygger" Graf. In 2000 she was kind enough to send me this, which I framed and hung in my bedroom so that it is the first thing I see upon wakening and the last thing when I turn in. A very few years later, due to the ridiculous amount of abuse from clueless fanboys, Lia walked away from the fandom, a great loss to the rest of us. Ah, well, "new times, new interests in life..."
