This was really interesting. Yours was the only one I knew right away. Not sure why.

Question. (er questions) Do you keep using the same pallette for a long time? Clean the paint off it at all? This post got me wondering about how others use their pallettes.

I have taken at least six years of art school over the years ... sadly my nervous condition does not allow me to do much art work these days...
I wanted to thank you for joining us at the Crypt... best wishes

Hi. It's me. I always come by every six months or so for an Aaasemblaaahhhghe of Michael deMeng Blitzkreig. (One of us really enjoys it!)

anyway, I had no warning about the answers and didn't get to test myself before seeing the first two answers. So it's clear I wouldn't have done well on this. My first answer was going to be the Mad Puau Shell Painter of Waikiki. The second should have been Lughnasadh Louie's palette.

I don't know what's happened to those guys, but they aren't on the corner of Lake at the freeway offramp any more.

It's probably the economic upswing.
