Mommy Liberty -- revisited . . .

I got my bigass mug!

From the artist:
"My name is Eliza Gauger. I'm 17 years old and I live in Bellingham, WA. I drew this image, not expecting it to become popular in any way, and am shocked and intensely pleased that it has inspired people the way it has. The profits from the sale of these items, even the profits that Cafepress is making, go to the Red Cross and the victims of the 9/11 disaster. Thank you for your support."

There's more on the "Mommy Liberty" phenomenon through a quick google search, but basically, 17-year-old Eliza Gauger, a high school student in Washington (that's a state), scanned an image she had doodled and posted it on her web page. A few people saw it, emailed the link to friends -- in a matter of days, the image has fairly circled the globe, has been published in magazines and newspapers, and has now become a product for the relief efforts in New York.

Just plain ol', every day cool,
Dan
