All of them are wonderful prints and I look forward to seeing more. It certainly does encourage one to see such talent displayed. You are putting together a web site that stands alone in its quality on the internet. I know I join everyone else in thanking you for taking the enormous amount of time it takes to update and add new things. As Frank Dalton said just before the good people of Northfield, Minnesota blew the Dalton and Jesse James gang to hell, "Ain't it a wonderment?"

It is cheap, non-toxic and works like a charm on my work table, spatula's and roolers. Unfortunately, it isn't as good on paintbrushes and I am not sure why. Oh, it works fine but takes a lot of baby oil - too much per brush. Does anyone have any suggestions for non-toxic ways to clean up heavy inks like etching ink? Would soaking them do any good? In what? All suggestions welcome.

One of the outdoor art craft shows thingies. Well should have stay home and worked on the garden would of been more productive and less frustrating. $0 sold. So we can commiserate. Mind you at least you got to read where as I answered questions about what this sport is all about. Tonight I think it is a stupid sport and business.
