"Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy...


But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;

For the apparel oft proclaims the man."

"Sexy as socks on a rooster" (--Unknown)

Yesterday, I arrived in Evanston, Illinois, ready and eager to visit Northwestern University in the morning.

As I settled in at the hotel, and glanced out the window, I realized that across the street, there was a Blick Art Supplies Store staring back at me.

I'm like a kid in a candy store when I can explore art supplies to my heart's delight, so needless to say, I high-tailed it over there and spent an hour or so lost in time.

On the way out, I was excited to head back to the hotel and play with my new Yupo pad. The Yupo polypropylene sheets are slick, and the paint just kind of oozes all over the page. It was fun to just slosh the paint on, and watch what it did on its own. I'll be playing around some more with this when I can.
