OK then, sub-question

£100 for my pottery plaque.
Or was it £200? I can't remember now. I think it was £200.

i've been really spoilt here
because my friend owns the gallery, i have got whacking great discounts on some original stuff. so if i'd paid market value, the most expensive would be a photographic piece in my hallway which is the secret 7th edition in a run of 6, and for which the other 6 owners paid £5,000 each.

heh.

How much did you pay for it?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 15:45, Reply)

the printing company cocked up slightly
it's printed on this amazing sort of perspex thing. it's hard to describe unless you've seen it. anyway, my artist friend was really unhappy with one copy because it was bent - seriously, you'd need a spirit level even to notice. so the printers told her to chuck it out and did another one. and i got the rogue bent copy for £500 - £250 to the artist and £250 to my friend, everyone's a winner.

Not too bad

Disappointing...
I was expecting something about her always ending up with the bent one, or summat. I dunno, you work something out in your own head and chuckle at it. I lack the motivation today...

fuck you and the horse you rode in on, rough-rider

I find horse riding to be a bit bent

You need to turn it over

Not much
but I do have a fair size collection of sketches and comic art that I've picked up or had done for me at conventions.

They are incredible! I need to get a few mounted and on the walls

I assume you're not talking Spider-Man or Posion Ivy here though.

No
More sketches of the countryside, faces from magazines, etc.

I have one of Tower Bridge drawn by my great Uncle.
It's shit. But he did draw it with the withered paralysed arm that Polio gave him when he was a kid, so I still keep it.

But really
Why did he use his spaz-hand to do it? Why not the good one?

It's an excuse for being shit at drawing

I don't know how true it is
but the story I was told when it was given to me was that he was trying to regain as much use of it as he could.

I bet it felt like someone else was drawing it

If John Squire topped himself or was killed by a deranged fan I'd do alright out of it.
