Ride em, fish boy.

Another manip, this is a hipp (Hippocampus Catamiti), one of Ganymede's animals, basically an amphibious horse named for the mythical sea horse of Earth. Not exactly a difficult manip, just a sea lion and horse's head, the only hard part was replacing the horse's skin, eye, etc. with something more aquatic and alien looking. May need a bit more work, not quite sure. It'll be about 1/3rd page width eventually.

Later And again there are cut and paste problems I can't see on my main PC's LCD screen but show up on other displays - really getting a bit annoyed about this, I'm obviously going to have to start sending everything to the iBook for checking, or invest in a better monitor. Any recommendations? Needs to be big (22" or better), doesn't necessarily need to be wide screen.

Hopefully this is a bit better

I have a Chimei CMV 221D and have been VERY impressed (I bought another one because the one they gave me at work sucked). It's a 22in WS and can be used for TV input also (I think - haven't tried). Won awards and rave reviews. It cost me AUD$400 two years ago and I've seen them significantly cheaper more recently. I've no idea whether there would be any still around but it might be worth seeing if there's a more recent equivalent model.
