Because it’s What I Do

Tyler, Thanks again for the beautiful prints. They really are special. But this print making stuff is kind of like a drug to me. There’s that initial rush that you get when you first produce them, and then the crash when I realize that probably no one cares but me, and have I wasted time and materials. I never used…

Let’s Make a Deal

A contestant was chosen from the audience to compete with contestants.They were usually dressed in a stupid way, holding some stupid thing, all screaming pick me, pick me.
