GIMME MORE
I am a collector at heart. I enjoy having odd jars of condiments just a cabinet door away. I love having kitchen gadgets and utensils that I only have reason to use once a year. But what I most love to collect is art. I have art stuffed in every nook and cranny of my house.
As I type, I am watched by a little carving of late artist Bob Ross (click here for image) who came in his own little cigarette box marked “Bob in a Box” part of a series by Bob Snead that included Bob Villa, Bob Dobb and more, whom I met Founder of Redux. This next show gives YOU a chance to be both collected and a collector!
