Here's another pin by ND TA, the designer(s?) of Riverscape: the streetlamp is an element common to both. I chose it today because it's depth is more apparent than real, so it's a good analogy for some of the thinking I've been doing for a presentation. Fortunately, I haven't finished that thinking yet, so there's still hope for achieving something substantive...I love this pin's use of materials and perspective to paint the picture of a street corner and skyline. The sidewalk (pavement), background skyscrapers and streetlamp are all silver, the foreground skyscrapers are copper, and the globe of the streetlamp is a pearl. The grey ground beneath the foreground skyscrapers is some kind of ceramic or ground stone, which subtly glitters like certain kinds of concrete - a very nice touch.
I still haven't found out anything about KD TA, which is a bummer. I'd like to know whether a lot of his/her/their work contains streetlamps, and whether he/she/they are into other styles or subjects. I'd buy more for sure.

As I check in to review the 'badge of the day' I am starting to also become interested in the shirt color it's attached to. You may be the Simon Cowell of the Tech world...you seem to wear a monochromatic palette of greys and blues. Ever throw an orange shirt in there? :) Side question...has there ever been a day where you forgot the pin all together? If so, what kind of day is that?
Not sure whether to be flattered or to resent that... The iSight camera on my Mac is pretty dreadful, so I have to Photoshop the pics. The pins look better, but the backgrounds (T-shirts) go muddy, so you miss out on the many shades of blue, red and green that I wear in addition to white, grey and black. Most of my T-shirts have designs of their own: only one T-shirt is plain, and it's red.
As to your second question (cheeky), I've forgotten to wear a pin three times, I think. In all cases, I was in a hurry AND very distracted, so I usually forgot other things too (eg money; ID; keys; etc). As you can imagine, those days started badly and usually ended worse :(
