I'm so boring.
It’s less than an hour until 2012 and I feel like a nap.

So the Onguent advert has hit 160+ notes. Ummm…. color me impressed.
But, the big question for me is… why can’t I seem to get my art posts to do that?

Feel free to ignore this if you don't want to read...
If I’m visiting a city I want to know more about - I always roach about the place on Google street-view to get a flavor of the place.
I just saw the handsomest row of brownstones on Pine street. In the 1500 block. I love them. I find that type of city architecture some of the most dignified. It’s masculine and attractive and all that - the style is.

Philadelphia
I’m going to be there in February - or at least, that’s the plan.

So, apologies for not being around for a bit.
Seriously busy weekend. Visited family in extremely rural southern Georgia (not even mobile reception save for in small areas around the thirty-miles-apart towns.) and then came right back home to a whole day out and just general tiredness. I love December (what with my birthday, then fun Christmas stuff, and the general warm fuzziness that tends to happen this time of year.) but it really does...

Also, if I offered prints for sale of some of my finished work, do you think people would buy them? I mean, I know I’ve got quite a few followers here, so that’s reassuring.
Would y’all like that? Prints for sale?
