An update from Gary who has made a commercial break-through in Ithaca:

I am lucky enough to be featured in the window of CognoscenTea, West State St, Ithaca, NY. Below are a couple pictures (and I will send a 2nd email with ordering/shopping info and pics). It is a nice display both inside and out. The cups with animals, blue teaset and red teaset are mine, more inside. The one picture shows the store and its next door neighbor, conveniently, an adult novelties and movie store. I imagine that kind of foot traffic is very useful for a tea shop. People walking up the street looking for a v******r or perhaps a d***** or even a blow up **** will see my stuff in the teashop window, and think to themselves 'wait a minute! I need a teapot too!'. Ahhhh, Ithaca........

If you click on the image you will see how close the nice elephant teapot sits to the adult toyland. Gary's posts like this are an interesting in sight to the travails one must go through as a business artist, taking clay and making six-packs, utility payments and baseball tickets appear from it. Remember, when the moment allows, we are going to set up a litle shop for Gary somewhere around here.
