I participated in a very nice art show over this past weekend. There were 28 other very diverse and very good artists there in addition to me.
I was able to sell one original and one print and also set up a commission with a couple who wanted something more specific.
Two of the artists scolded me for not having high enough prices.
One had a piece ( fairly large ) for……..are you sitting down?
$15,000!
I actually asked her if she sells any at such a price, and she said, yes, she does!
I guess I am not that greedy. I would show you her painting, but I don’t have permission to do so and it would be a bit unethical, too.

I don't think it's greedy to get paid what you're worth. If your paintings can fetch that, then that is the market value. I charge a certain amount for my time and if people don't want to pay, that's their choice.

I guess that was a poor choice of words, in fact it was. I don’t begrudge her one bit. More power to her, I say. I was just a bit taken aback by such a high price. And no one is forcing anyone to buy it, either.

If you work with other people on a cattle ranch, would those people be coworkers?

There was a big commotion in the jungle. A snail had been run over by a turtle, and emergency first responders were on the scene. Nearby was a sloth watching the whole thing.
Police asked him: did you see what happened?
Yes. He finally replied.
Can you describe what happened?
Well…………I……………..don’t know……………everything……….happened……….so………..fast

I used to love the cartoon artwork of Don Martin. So much so that I bought some of his books. Here is a good example of the elaborate detail he used to draw. Hilarious, to me.

@bigdub Remember this from TrumpetMaster?
Youtube Video

I did not see this. But I am inspired to create something now!

@bigdub The 180 is the overall length of the tubing in inches, and the 43 is the measurement in inches from mouthpiece to bell. S is for silver, of course. It's a BIG mutha!

You know your trombones. I’ll have to trust you on that one, Jercho

Anyone in the market for a trombone?
Amazon has them.

@j-jericho

The piano just had been tuned. Obviously.
LOL.

I know something that can go from zero to 200 in 2.8 seconds.
Me, when I step on the bathroom scale

The Honda in the foreground is the same model I took my motorcycle license test with, although it was not mine. If I am remembering correctly it’s a CB450, my friend let me borrow it.
It’s actually a 1969 CL350, and used to look like this…

This was pretty much the same bike I had. Not my actual, but a lot like it. Almost identical. Mine was a little nicer.

@flugelgirl
What exactly does the extra tubing do on the side of the first valve?
It looks complicated!

Sorry. I used to love cars. Now I hate cars. They are a necessary evil, but I just want ones that start and run reliably and drive comfortably.

How about motorcycles? I like them, too…

9 yr old: Dad! I have a pun you might like!

Dad: oooh! What is it?

9 yr old: it’s a humorous play on a phrase or word. I thought you knew?

He couldn’t stop - he was chasing the Riddler…

I saw the driver of the Batmobile, and, BRACE YOURSELF- it wasn’t Batman! So that opens up a real can of worms.

Maybe it was Bruce Wayne, then.

Looked more like commissioner Gordon, to be honest.

This is the second time I have seen this in my neighborhood. I tried to get him to stop and let me get a better shot, but I had no luck. I imagine he has people wanting to do the same all the time.

Saw this one on one of my walks in my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago and regretted not taking a picture of it. Fortunately the owner was visiting the same house again, and I said to myself, not this time! 64 Pontiac Bonneville. Look closely, the keys were in the ignition!

It did not work. There were no disruptions as promised.

FWIW - The next time I went to the TB website after liking your comment, I encountered Server Error.

I never made the disclaimer

Sounds like Bull to me.

Does it work now?
