Very nice. I like the metal separations. I'm a big fan.

Reminds me of a slightly twisted version of Guess Who. I like the vintage feel, remind me of very old animated movies I saw as a child.

Most, most wonderful. And those filing brackets deserve sustained applause. Kudos and kudos again.

You always, always impresses me. You're fantastic. I'm always impressed with the Labour and pampering in your work. I'll always be your fan and always stay an eye on your work. I'm going through a lock in my work related to drawing and collage. I'm producing a lot of scenery and set designs for plays and events, but drawings on loose, not tied to the room decor and I'm well hung. Your work inspires me. Thank you

Oh don't you hate those droughts and fallow periods? I try to trust in the cycle of creativity and not too push the river, but sometimes it's very frustrating ...

Inspired by the card game I played as a child - I don't know if it was a feature of childhood in the US? You had to collect sets of Mom, Dad, and two kids ~ I remember Mr and Mrs Bun, the Bakers and - I think - Mr and Mrs Chop, the Butchers.

Many happy squabbles with my siblings as we tried to cheat our way to accumulating the most families. Only in the sixties. Nowadays, of course, families come in many different manifestations: the one-of-each-sex two-parent two-child constellation is probably an anthropological curiosity rather than the norm!

It's really a great looking piece. It'll be a fine part of the anthropological exhibit on 20th century lifestyles someday :)
