Well, no, but a couple of the more interesting finds from the last few weeks. The first, an old "commemorative" newspaper from Nelson, Circa 1961.
the second I spotted on a walk about the store, odd, I know, I usually don't walk around the shop so once in a blue moon there's a surprise.
This was it. An erotic carving of two naked women embracing, one, by the helmet some sort of Spartan, the other? Well, curious, and it's out of an old cow's shinbone.
Which makes it doubly curious. Currently priced at $20.00 in the silent auction, I might just have to bid...
...because, really, how have I lived this long without one?

Playing with Dall-E and wondered what it would come up with for a handbill for the infamous show put on by Woland and Behemoth at the Variety Theatre in Moscow.

I'm not certain if that's real Russian/Cyrillic, or not, and if it is what it might be saying...
Tried it on a different AI generator - Stable Diffusion - these were the results:

Playing with Dall-E, trying to generate some relevant images. "About the Author", with a few parameters. Some interesting results....
This is, I'm sure you'll agree, far better than having me model for the photos..."Close Enough!!!!" I'd say, and be done with it...

Today's bad art offerings, courtesy the thrift shop...
Vaguely recognizable, but .... kinda reminds me of the woman from "Ozark". Yeah, not my cup of tea...
And this one just reeks of "Thought I'd set up my bible and tell all the villagers about Jesus when they came to get water...."
After Paul Gauguin? Probably not. Just bad art in the missionary style.

Saturday, woke up to the sound of the Ferry's horn. Which made for some interesting dreams of being near the sea, but as it tooted and I awoke I realized I was just in Balfour and it was time to get up...
Some good photos:
