Wrong - or at least only a small part of the story. Cab is short for cabriolet (a type of carriage), and taxi is short for taximeter (originally the French taximètre, from the German taxameter - meaning a charging meter). Taxicab was formed by concatenating those two abbreviations to describe what had already been called a "taximeter cab", though now both taxi and cab are used independently as abbreviations for taxicab.

Oh, interesting. I had heard the word "cabriolet" before, but had no idea it had any connection to taxis. Thank you!

Jotunheim, may I ask: Is you work digital, or physical media? Much impressed either way, and I wish you all good luck in making a living off it.
Occurs to me the word I was looking for in saying what I specifically liked about your Faye portrait was "modeling" moreso than "lighting" but it's still amazingly good.
Jotunheim:
Most of my work is digital, though occasionally it will be based on a pencil sketch/drawing.
lepetitfromage:
Beautiful work!! I adore digital painting and you do it so well :-)
What program do you use?
Jotunheim:
I use Photoshop cs3 and a wacom intuos 5 tablet.
