Default AAM sketch
Several people wondered how I did the sketch I used in my AAM page. No magic, folks -- I just played around with the picture and the filters in PSE. The one I used is the charcoal sketch. I knew I wanted the photo to sort of blend into the background, and the filter gave me the effect I wanted. Go play!

Thank you, Linda, love the effect you produced! (I thought it was an "action."
