wow...pretty interesting...looks almost pictogramish.
just for a sense of context, what did your image to him have in it? (just trying to figure out if he's directly responding to something or if he's just being him).

I don't think so it was just a general Christmasy type picture with the Christmas tree made from the text of my message.

oh and in case you cant see the image is called ialwayscelebrate.jpg

I'm not sure about the fork in the image or why the hose seems to be running from some kind of frog or snake head.
The left corner of the bucket is kind of chopped off, not sure of the relevance. (then again not sure of the relevance of the rest of it)

I have told him that we are allies and to tell me about our enemy(ies)


I'll make an account here one day I swear

Disjointed thoughts on the image you received:
The thing that often strikes me about some of S's drawings is that they look very deliberate...like he's looking at a picture and trying to draw it. A lot of what appears on this page seems that way to me. The castle/tower thing...I just can't get over that I've seen it before. I spent an hour last night google image searching. At first I thought it was a castle from an old Final Fantasy NES game but I couldn't find the one I was thinking of. Then I wondered if I was thinking of the cover art from Stephen King's Dark Tower series or the graphic novels based on it but they don't really match up. I am positive, however, that he was looking directly at a picture and recreating it. The lines aren't confident like when someone is doodling and doesn't really care about the outcome or even drawing something from memory. They're light and careful and corrective.

The shape in the upper left is weirdly familiar to me as well. What's interesting is it's symmetrical with an apparent "fold line" down the middle. This is, like everything, just a shot in the dark, but what if some of the entries are meant to be folded or mirrored?

The early Friend Gallery images contain references to "Rule 34" and quick MS Paint drawings, which is very indicative of 4channers. Reading back through this forum, there's talk of the channers coming here and mucking up the works every once and a while so we know HS caught their attention (at least in passing) once upon a time. This along with the very different styles and file names (forhatshoe.jpg etc) leads me to believe the Friend Gallery definitely consists of images sent to him.

Also, I was REALLY hoping that the S stood for Sheldon as that would open a very interesting avenue, but the idea that it stands for Shoe and there's someone else who is Hat...(top and bottom...one doing the thinking and one doing the walking/work) is very intriguing as well. Goddamnit.

Also...it's very possible I'm losing my mind...but didn't the "video description" of "N" used to say something like "I don't think she's even an associate of an associate" or something to that effect? Because it now says "I don't think she knows him. She might not be alone."

So a couple of us have been emailing so as to quickly spitball ideas without clogging up the thread with harebrained tangents.
I figured I'd post an excerpt of a message I just sent to another player in the hope that perhaps my line of thinking was somewhat correct but my execution was terrible and someone will see where I went wrong and solve this thing.

On the subject of the image to "thisone" as a rebus:
