A "photo" of one of Ricky's trips to some big city. My first real attempt at a background of any sort. I like the plant. It has red berries. I bet Ricky would like it if he could see it. Why do I make his glasses so small? Not that he actually uses them, mind, but it's the thought that counts.

He's wearing his diamond stud earring in this "photo". I said in his character description it's in his right ear, but as you can see, it's obviously in his left ear and I need to go back to elementary school.

I'm not sure what the sign says beyond the edges of the frame. Ricky would tell ya, but he can't see it. I'm still trying to figure out how I made a white-haired character retain a youthful look...

He's a cutie though. Of all my characters, he deserves to be the one who gets the honor of having "First Background of 2007".
