AND a self portrait inside a translucent envelope, and a map of an area of Finland as a backdrop. So lucky to have received this unique and thoughtful piece.…

Banana family outing

This card wasn't signed. Is this from you Dean Marks? There is something about these banana people that makes me laugh. Maybe the guy in front needs another glass of wine. Thanks to whoever sent it.…
