I will be the first to admit I am no Michelangelo as you can see from the image I posted here. But, this image took me less than 5 minutes to create and upload using a new program I had never used prior to this one.…

somehow I was able to open an old blogger account, where I seem to have left some mental debris contributing to the web pollution.…

My first blog of the New Year takes me back to the year before last. 2009 was the year I sold one of my works out of an exhibition for the first time. It came as a total surprise to me… I didn’t mean to sell this one… I didn’t want to sell it… I just wanted to expose it to…
