Andy Warhol was shot on June 3, 1968 by Valerie Solanas at his New York studio, the Factory. She was apparently mad at him because he didn’t like a script she had given him to read. It turns out she was pretty loopy, and Warhol was hurt pretty bad and…

I purchased this pen and watercolor drawing on a vacation to Uzebkistan in 2009. The subject is a Bactrian camel, a ubiquitous creature in the Eurasian Steppe.

I don’t recall buying this — it almost certainly was acquired by one of my brothers — but none of them have claimed it so I will continue to be its caretaker. Apologies to any childhood neighbors/friends that I may have accidentally stolen this from.

I’ve set up this blog to test out the functionality of the customer interaction tools offered by ActiveCampaign. For the time being the content of this blog will be images and descriptions of objects found in my home. This Johnny Cash action figure has been with me for a few years now and is one of my favorites. Look at that beautifully coiffed hair, polka-dot kerchief, and guitar with real strings! A daily inspiration to walk the line.
