Impeccable taste and terrible paintings in their homes.

No why have w been making art 40 thousand years. There was cave paintings. Art in prison, in asylum concentration camp, in kindergarten. fundamental to who we are. Marc Mayer, director of Ottawa's National Gallery of Canada

Year of the Dog in 2016


Some sites have quite a bit of gloom and doom forecasted, depressing. I am afraid, I am. I am scared and I move forward as best I can. I spent the last few days and still need to finish up making Super Powers Potion. The batch smells lovley. It was a fight to produce as often seems to be the case. Every time I have made it something goes haywire and drags the process on and on and on. I prevailed and I am pretty sure this batch is dreamy.
