I used to be quite happy to be creditted as 'Psycho Chicken' against pictures. In fact, back when I was less than confident in my abilities, I actually used to sign them with that monicker and deny all knowledge should they escape.
These days, enough people have persuaded me that I can wave a brush/pencil/burnt stick convincingly and I've a lot more confidence - to the point where someday soon I'd like to be scraping a living from my art - I am much more adamant that use of my work be accompanied by my real name. It's a legal thing as much as anything now.
I've been using the pseudonym above for so long frankly that googling it will get you my name with 'psychochicken' in the middle, so it's a bit late to hide the link now ;)
And from me too - congratulations. It's nice when someone you don't necessarily know appreciates your work. You know they're not just being a nice and supportive friend =)
