Give Me Your Green

An item on the Scavenger Hunt was "green" with a challenge of "not nature or food".  Hmmm.  Then I thought of greenbacks.  I've never seen more than a few hundred dollars at one time.  It must be interesting to see piles of them.  Maybe that is why crooks get so greedy.

Number 4, green - a two dollar bill, half page in the big book with a Micron 02.

Gene had one he carried in his wallet that he got when he first started working about 65 years ago.  It has been gone for a few years.  Maybe lost in the fire in 2011.  Guess he didn't have it with him.  He quit carrying a wallet and uses a money clip.  Hmmm????

This is a fairly new one and has been hanging on the shelf above my computer, thus the curve in it.  There is an unbelievable amount of detail on paper money.  That is the reason I didn't sketch it larger.  Best to look at this in small size.

The RedDotBlog has current and useful advice.  It is from the Xanadu Gallery in Arizona.  This post is helpful for those that are trying to or are doing art full time:

And this one for writing better e-mail news:

But of course the best advice is to actually create more art.  That is what I should be doing.  Sigh....
