Has this been copyrighted? If so, who holds the rights?

Awesome, pimmony. Have you considered puting this image on a tee shirt. coffee mug, etc for OUCH?
Could be a good fund raising item.

I honestly had not thought of that, though I am in the process of designing some software for recording attacks (which I hope some of you would beta for me).
I had thought of using the image with that.
I simply do not have the funds to do it myself, that is the mugs and shirts. I am a writer who has a real bad block and the royalties have dried up.
If ouch could use the image themselves I can donate it (smile, have not been able to donate cash so maybe this would help)

Pimmony,
Count me in for the beta test of your software, although I doubt i'll get much of a test till next October, I THINK my cycle is over, of course, I thought that once before and I blacked out.
I also would like a poster sized copy of that illustration of yours. If you cant send me one that size how about a desktop theme? there are endless possibilities, I have other options for you too, but it is a too long a story for this forum. Email me if you'd like to know more.

Thanks cerebus I shall email ye about it.
I just wanted to say how nice it was that folk liked my picture, it is one of several I am doing and is really supposed to express the way feel more than be precise. For me I captured it and I guess it touched some of ye too, which is .... warming.
Thanks also for offering to test the software. It is something I am doing because my neurologist liked the pictoral diary I made of my attacks and it converts well into a java based application. Of course, like most such things, once started it turns into a demanding and expanding task but hopefully it will be ready for initial testing in about a month.
My partner said that she will check out doing poster sized copies of my picture. I was thinking of doing a book, using these as illustrations - something a little surreal, perhaps. A cluster of fairy tales.

Database programmers wanna know! LOL

Thanks for the advice RevDeFord, I have marked up the site for reference and shall talk with my partner about this.
I have so many big decisions to make for the coming year that this will go into the pot with them and I do appreciate it would be all income for Ouch so a very important consideration

Greetings pimmony!
I'm no help on the programming, (but sure would love to learn,) but I too am a writer (when I'm not laying brix) who also suffers writer's block from time to time - usually when we've been up all night too many nights in a row, battling the CH reptile.
I have to write weekly columns for newspapers too, and its often a bit of a challenge to get started. But it's what ya gotta DO!! Just start. Something will appear on the page and once started, even tho' its a bit stilted and not quite flowing, it won't be long til it does flow, and your natural pride will make sure that what is printed is actually ok. I have often sent away stories and articles that I thought were utterly hopeless, only to be told later that they were enjoyed. A lot of writer's block is from within our heads. We feel as tho we are not up to the task and don't start. Try this - it's a form of self-discipline, but it does work, even if some nights I'm still at the keyboard at 0300 hrs!!
I wish I could paint like you!
Wishing you PFDAN
