Priceless Postcard
In the mail today, amongst the bills, library notices, and magazines, I found this postcard:
It was a gift from Nat Dickinson over at Nat Dickinson Doing Art. Nat is trying to complete NaBloPoMo, so he is posting every day. As an enticement to other bloggers and blog readers, he is giving away a selection of postcards on which he has done drawings and paintings. My super-cool pumpkin top was one of the first, but his later cards have been equally amazing. I strongly encourage everyone to go over to his site, look at his art, and post a response or two. Who knows, you might end up with your own beautiful piece of art!

Crankster, you find the best shizzle ever. Nat's dog paws painting is genius.

Looks like a water color. Nice.

I wish I wasn't too lazy to figure out what NaBloPoMo is.
Love the postcard!

I like this. I also like his teapot and cup. Very cool stuff but then again, you do find interesting things in everyday life.

Jamiesmitten-
Isn't his stuff great? Have you entered his contests yet?
Matt-
I think it's watercolor crossed with pen and ink. I'm such a bad artist that I tend to view all of this stuff as miraculous.
Franki-
NaBloPoMo is "National Blog Posting Month." Basically, you try to post every day. Me, I'm trying to make up for several months of laziness!
Puss-
Thanks!
Pool-
And everything looks more prosaic in black and white!

Glad to see it made it in one piece... wasn't quite sure that the autosorter wouldn't eat it. For the curious, it's india ink, some pencil, some rollerball pen. Thanks for the compliments, and happy nablopomo.

I can't even watch a serial TV show. I'm a commitment-phobe. Thanks for telling me about it, I feel much better now.

And yet you post almost every day!
Methinks the lady doth protest too much...
