He’ll even mail a print to your house."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1279470633.usr17748.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Pretty cool, eh? David broke his foot playing soccer, and is spending his down time creating original avatars using FaceTime. The FaceTime session takes about ten minutes, and the drawing time about an hour. The results are emailed to you, and you can even buy a larger print if you'd like. Dave can be reached via his email address in the article, or via Twitter. Great idea!</p>
