In other news: stay tuned for the launch of my Etsy store—that wondrous portal for all things handmade. There you'll be able to purchase original etchings, silkscreens, watercolors and other stuff from the comfort of your own desk. Hopefully, if the proper cyber handshakes take place this week, I'll have it up by the weekend.
