This is such a stark, icy time of year. The fields are sharp with frost, the trees thick with it. I've been working nonstop: Making sure the shows run smoothy; the orders are processed; that everything stays tidy. It's hard work but I really love it.
Sometimes, however, times are tighter than I'd like them to be. I don't do this often (perhaps once or twice a year) but I've decided to sell a few items from my collection of... er, ephemera... on eBay so that I'll be able to buy some nice gifts for my family and friends this year. If you're interested, I've provided the eBay links below. Don't be afraid to ask me questions. If you'd like photographs of a higher resolution, I'd be happy to supply those as well.
Here we go, friends. Wish me luck.
Nice things to wear:

In addition, most of you probably aren't aware, but I'm also a part-time professional illustrator. My website is BrokenUmbrella.com. I take on a few commissions a month, sell prints (there's a store on my site) and sometimes sell originals. If you're looking for something to give during the holidays, or just to treat yourself, a piece of artwork is always a good way to go. The prints are $15 each, which includes shipping. They're high-res ink jet prints on matte card stock and come with a sturdy polypropylene sleeve and cardboard backing.

And that's that. Whew!
In summation, I'm just so utterly pleased to be a part of this site. The community here is wonderful and supportive and I've met a countless number of brilliant, hilarious, and interesting people here. For the past year or so it's truthfully been one of the highlights of my life. Thanks, Darlings. I haven't been this content in a long time and this really means a lot to me.
Real Live Love,
Oubliette
