2002. This is part of my going Cafepress Crazy story. It's interesting working on an "idealized" face, even if the hair is an unnatural shade of purple.
The first version of this I tacked on some words about anime, but I thought the "anime" indication was limiting. It works fine as-is, though I'm not totally thrilled with the background (the blue-red gradient supposed to evoke blue + red = purple) ... oh well, maybe I'll make a new version of this sometime.
