    We really par­al­lel each other. (Do you sis­ters need a brother?) I have done com­mer­cial art all my life, and thanks to prod­ding by oth­ers am finally turn­ing some of that into fine art. (Okay, for the purists who sep­a­rate typog­ra­phy from oils, pseudo fine art.) Irma sub­scribed to my blog, so I returned the favor here.

      You are right — you may as well be our brother! So glad to hear you have decided to con­cen­trate on fine art. No wor­ries about purists here: I decided long ago that I am going to stay true to myself and like what “speaks to me” (who cares what its called?). That seems to be true about art, archi­tec­ture and wine! By the way, we fea­tured the Steve Jobs/Apple Inc. ad on 17 Octo­ber. Talk about round pegs in square holes… I really like your poster and have added the link to our post.
