Today's 'Pizza Mandala'

I haven't done one of these in some time and usually really like colorful ones. But I had decided recently to use print-outs of one of my pen/pencil sketches in a mandala.

I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
