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? *whinge whinge whinge*

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. There’s a rather strange...

tuesday-johnson replied to your post: More Philadelphia stuff But there’s so much Frank Furness! Beaux arts everywhere, as well as ostentatious details. Check out the Witherspoon building on 13th and Walnut—also, naturally the Convention center. Oh god, there’s so much here. I like Frank Furness! Well, his early stuff.

I’m going to be there in February - or at least, that’s the plan. Let me say this though: I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT IT I COULD PASS OUT. It’s been three years since I’ve been up north. It’s not NYC but it’s close enough. Still, Philadelphia has its charms: site of the 1876 Centennial Exposition! Parasol manufacturing capitol of the US in the mid-nineteenth...

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?
