Illustration Friday Dec 30 Flavor

Ring Ring the phone blings and its my friend Eden all in a panic.

She: a man is standing here on my verandah and said he hated everything in the art gallery but wants to buy my sign, what should I do?

Me: sell it to him and I'll paint you another sign.

She: what should I charge him?

Me: what's the highest number you can say without laughing?

She: I dunno.

Me: start at 400 bzd, because when I made that sign I think I ate about 200 in free lobster right there on your verandah.

She: o.k. den

The deal finished, everyone was happy, I painted another sign and took it out in bbq chicken dinners.

  7. I love trades. I hardly ever accept cash from friends for goods and services. My favorite trade is with a local massage therapist. Chai and banana cake for massage.

  8. Nice reading your blog. We lead a similar sort of life but I am in Sosua in the Dominican Republic.

    I represent a artist that does sculptures in bronze and I am going to build a gallery here:)
