Yyyyyyyep. Yer sig isn't necessarily an opus or lifetime's achievement,
but if you drew it, you own it, publicly declared or not. The copyright
laws of the US declare any written work the property of the writer (That
doesn't include "I used the word "anal" in a book, and so you can't," of
course), and the same extends to other artistic mediums. And a sig is just
that. Bleh, I babble.
Hope you folks like my sig. (:
