The background was a teenage whimsy I drew about 15 years ago and happened to be stuck to the tank I pulled out of the attic. I definitely want to move to a more plain background, and preferably 1-piece instead of having those seams in it, but I'm kind of counting on some sunlight coming through the paper to supplement the cruddy light I have on there, so I don't want it to be too dark. (I'm working on the light issue though.)
