CAN THIS BE SO? MR. SQUIGGEE HAS GONE SWEET? JUST WAIT TILL THE MEDS WEAR OFF!

    That certainly didn't last long.  Had me worried for
a few seconds.  It's all just a ruse, of course!
   I do have lucid moments when I can approach being
charming.  The thought of Mr. Squiggee on the loose
at the Phoenix Convention Center this weekend can
certainly conjure up some scary scenario's.  "Who is holding
the bail money"?,  I hear you ask. Not to worry!
   I did print up the floor plan for the show, that way I won't
get lost when I venture off to visit a few pals{?????}
And I already have the booth numbers written down.
I just know they'll be anxious to see me.
   If you look at the above photo of the candy wrappers,
on the left side of the canvas you will see some writing.
Gail has always used poster board under the canvas
when she paints and well always have to thoroughly
review all of the notes on this poster board so we don't toss
out phone numbers. Under the poster board is ceiling tile.
The push pins hold the canvas still while she is painting.
These were created in 2002, and all of these were created
within a two week span.
   These items were returned by a previous distributor, who 
was quite insistent that he/she/it would never stoop  so low
as to ever reproduce one of Gail's designs.  And yet, ten years 
later this person is doing precisely that.
   Or, as Tony Soprano would say:  "The con game never ends."
He certainly got that right.  Where is all that designing prowess?
Ten year old scraps is the best that they could come up
with.
   Want to know the date the canvases were created? Hell,
maybe I shall just cruise on by, at the show, and ask them.
  More later.  Just though you'd like some food for thought.
