I like. Lots.
Somehow it speaks to me more than the others. Whether this is down to you, or me, is a subject (probably) never to be debated…
the title that comes to mind is “BORED SENSELESS”. how long did that take? (longest of any card to date?)
i remember an old mentor of mine talking about his traveling craft work days, driving across the country with a friend, hawking goods at bazaars and craft shows.
his buddy would sell cheap little pipes carved from wood for $5 – 10 a pop and make a killing.
he on the other hand would spend countless hours on these wonderful ink dot paintings and people would expect to pay a mere $10 for an original. the pain on his face was visible as he recounted the resentment caused by market valuations of their respective efforts…
They had nothing in common and liked it that way.
