now what secret could this model be telling that monkey? and... is that his real name? 

Jokie's offbeat cards always make me...  smile. 

holy palimpsest, Batman!

double-sided even!

this dada poem took a lot of work, and i'm not even sure it's finished! brava and obrigado…

ceci n'est pas une pipe...?

"i'll have what she's having"

thanks Debra

... who my computer wants to autocorrect to them ];-)

plus an ASEMIC Collaboration with Matthew T. Stolte -…
