I remember a time, back in Skinhit's early icon career, when he almost, nearly, might have quit and took up Po` harassment as a full-time career move, but I told him that I really liked an IP set he had done, and the rest is history. (See, Jack, I told ya that, with the right support and encouragement, you could piss Po` off severely and still be able to do icons.

)
Our Mr Nolan is one of the greatest icon artists of all time, and his walls ain't too shabby, neither, but more to the point, Jack is a gentleman and a scholar who contributes much more to the skinning community than a few pixels...he's a true and helpful friend to many who call him friend.
Three cheers for Jack 'Skinhit' Nolan....hip, hip...
