Indeed, indeed. You are right. I tried both. I could not wait for an answer, so experimented. It worked great! Actually it was for the Charles Morgan exchange and I am sending one out to you today in fact (as you are on my list). I hope you like it!
Cheers, Rob.
ps. I placed another order for some carving knives and brush, How do I find out if it has been shipped? It was almost 2 weeks ago, I think. Maybe less. I get so excited when I have new toys coming and can hardly stand it, so forgive me if I am just being impatient.

Thanks, Sharri. These definitions do seem like splitting hairs, don't they?
I think that in the state's eyes the difference between selling illustration
and selling fine art is that when you sell fine art there's an actual
transfer of physical goods (the piece of art) even though the artist retains
a number of rights. When you sell an illustration, the original (the piece
of art) is "borrowed", to be scanned or photographed for reproduction, and
then it's returned to the illustrator. Thus there's no actual transfer of
goods. That's my understanding, anyway.

Robert,
As I have already informed you, your order actually shipped air express from Japan this morning.

If anyone orders from the mall and does not receive their order in a couple of weeks, let me know and I will follow up. I almost always notify people when the order ships.
Best to everyone,
Barbara
