The important thing is
keepin’ busy.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

i just saw the grandma moses exibit at the hunter art museum. but more than being interested in her paintings i loved the artifacts of her life like her apron that were there on display . also the photographs of her were really lovely she was very wrinkley.
Amen, Grandma!
I want to see that exhibit a week ago, but I told my Bob Wright, my boss at Framewrights, and he started making fun of her: "cute little snow, cute little horsey, cute little houses, cute little clouds...", etc.
Lowen
I really wish I could delete that and fix all of the errors. I sound like a moron.
Lowen
Love that one. Way to go Grandma!
bob, how would you feel if someone called framewrights "a cute little frame shop?" just think about that next time you feel like being a saucy little tart.
I tend not to like artists whose paintings could have just as easily been presented in needlepoint.
like Picasso
i wanna see photographs of a wrinkly old lady!
here's one of the old gal.
