I drove about eighty-five miles in total around Columbus today. The drivers I observed were, for the most part, appalling in their behavior.
As it is most days.
May all people whom you love and cherish traverse in safety, friends.
I say this in honor of you all.
Family. Acquaintances.
But forever I will be saddened that a sweet and gentle soul, whom I had the honor of knowing, died by a reckless speeding driver, on a narrow old street, mere steps from his home.
Tread with care, everyone.

SLOW. THE. F**K. DOWN, folks.
Can one make it any more clear?
In the last weeks I have read numerous accounts of hit-and-run incidents in Columbus resulting in fatalities.
Incidents.
Not accidents.
It's not an accident that some dumb-sh*t driver in a hurry to get to the next red light mows down someone walking peacefully in their neighborhood.
I attempt to cross Whittier Street, in a crosswalk, every damn day, just three blocks from this latest tragedy.
Rarely do drivers even consider slowing.
Perhaps, on occasion, someone actually stops to allow me to cross.
What. The. Actual. F**k, people?!?!

Always a pleasure to frame a BIG French poster! (The pleasure is completing the job ;) )
I pride myself in matching the corners with patterned frames. This is not typical from most frame shops that order their materials pre-cut. We cut every frame by hand, from full sticks of moulding. This particular beaded moulding, paired with the larger outer moulding, is exclusive to The Archive - having been discontinued years ago, I bought all that was available before it was gone.
This, and scores of other exclusive frames, are available to complete your unique design!

Reliquary repairs for St. Mary's church. These had been smashed up by someone who broke in to the church this summer. 😪 Fortunately, I was able to disassemble, Frankenstein repair, and reassemble them with new Optium Museum Plexiglass.
