Overdriven?? Clearly not one of mine. ha ha.
Remember when a pin referred to a piton, and not some kind of bank security code?

Bruce, not only is it an original oil painting but it is the first "real" painting I've done in over 20 years. Thanks for the boost.

Enough ridiculosity already. I'll get the bidding started on Tricouni's guide at $150 though I know I don't stand a chance in hell of getting it for that price. I drew a deep breath when I saw the condition it is in. And the condition Big Mike is in.
'Stead of donating to the vets and homeless this year.... Going the bro-bra route.

why, thanks, philo.
I figure just the propect of that venerable tome leaving the country and going to a wanking Yank, of all people, should be enough to cause a consortium of Canucks to conspire to confound me, eh.

hey there, say, tami, mike, sandra and all...
here's my 11 by 14 oil, on canvas...
opening it for $75.00...
(will sign it before i send it, it is not dry yet)
HOPE it will be just what someone's been needing...
it MAY BE an heirloom someday:
it is from the sister of chappy--well known rock climber...
and the sister of walter chapman of chapman designs, in los altos...
OH--AND, neice of the late ellen walters, of the cleveland museum of natural history, in ohio, :)
THERE, ;) that ought to do it, :))
(and, it's all true)...
oh, and from me, neebee... :)
*i don't got much to stand on, so i WILL stand on THEIR shoulders
for now, :)
i do not how to do all this, so just either email me or mike...
IF anyone should want it and it is taken, and you want to bid,
then we will go from there...
it IS not very larger, remember... so it may not bring any
more than that... :)
but:
it's a 'well pitched ball', :)
edit:
if i remember right, when i send these as gifts,
postage is about 8 bucks? to 10 bucks, depending
on the boxes i get...
i just only have a saved amount to live on this month,
so i can't pay postage, :(
BUT--if mike gets the money now, and
YOU CAN TRUST ME...
i CAN DO THE POSTAGE in april, i will set it aside, from
my regular needs... >:D

The kidcormier has offered $25 for a print of Another Fine Mess.
Thanks Kid.
Seeing someone as young and vibrant as Big Mike in a wheel chair is hard for me. I hate those things and have always feared being trapped in one. Let's get him out of it as soon as possible. Glad to see he still has stoke.
