Friends are good. Friends who mail you stuff are very good. Friends who mail you their art are excellent!

A week ago or so I received two artworks in the mail from two different friends.

Julie presents me with an Altoids tin with my likeness as a beer drinking skeleton on it.

Lisa sends me a sketch of porter and a working of a picture I took on my birthday weekend: Drinky Crow at the farm. Done on velum (I think), and I don’t know what media.

Friends from different times of my life, and across the country from each other, but timed within a few days.

Pretty nifty, and both absolutely brightened my days.  Thanks, chicas bonitas.
