so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

In a school just outside Pittsburgh, a first grade
teacher Explained to her class that she is a Steelers
Fan. She asked her students to raise their hands if
they are Steelers fans too.
Not really knowing what a Steelers fan is, but wanting
to be liked by their teacher, their hands all fly into
the air with one exception.
A little boy named Timmy has not gone along with the
crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to be
different.
"Because I am not a Steelers fan." says Timmy. The
teacher asks "Then what are you?" Timmy says "I am a
proud Eagles fan!" The teacher is a little
perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Timmy
why he is a Eagles fan. "Well, my Mom and Dad are
Eagles fans so I'm a Eagles fan, too." Timmy responds.
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she
says loudly. "What if your Mom was a moron and your
dad was an idiot?
Timmy smiled and said, "Then I'd be a Steelers fan."
