Yes :-) This is exactly why I actually love this illustration. This subtle sarcasm is spot on :-) Perhaps removing the wall from the image to make a transparent bg will make it easier to integrate into websites. If one wanted to strengthen the sarcastic note subtle semi-transparent outlines of bricks could be added as a wall. -- Cheers, Mikkel
