Art Forgery! Does this mean I've finally made it?

I received an email inquiry this morning with a link to this post. The inquirer asked: "Hello, I have run across this sculpture and not 100 percent if it is made by you the originator Julie Elkins
can you confirm it?" Well the answer is absolutely NOT!...but my surrealist tendancies are making me second guess that absolute...my name IS carved on the butt. Thanks internet. Please exit through the WORM HOLE to your right.
