 As an experiment, I’ve been putting up some small (6″ x 8″) original drawings on Etsy.com .  In these tough economic times, artists need to try a variety of avenues to market their art.  Here are a few of the drawings I’ve recently put up:    Abstract Ink Drawing 31 Abstract Ink Drawing 30    Abstract Ink Drawing 28 I understand it is best to put up low-priced items, so that’s what I’ve done.  These small drawings are not available on my main abstract art website .  Etsy charges only 20 cents per item for a 40 day listing, so it seemed like an inexpensive way to test the market.   I wonder how many of you have tried Etsy and what you think of it?

I am proud and delighted to have helped many folks get a start in bird photography by offering advice on digiscopoing – taking pics of birds with small point and shoot digital cameras through the eyepiece of spotting scopes . As bird photography goes, digiscoping is the simplest and easiest way to take pics of birds and also one of the most addictive. No, digiscoping won’t get you pics that rival the quality and sharpness of the bird photographer using ten thousand dollar DSLR camera and long telephoto lens setup, but it will get you plenty of pics that you can enjoy and add to your collection and, because it allows you more magnification than that ten thousand dollar DSLR camera outfit, digiscoping will get you bird pics that no other technique of wildlife photography can match, Okay, you have a small digital point and shoot camera and a spotting scope

Not sure if the groundhog saw its shadow, yesterday, but I have yet to see a groundhog in the neighborhood or I might have been watching for a groundhog. I suspect we do have groundhogs in this area of suburban Milwaukee, though, since we do have so much other wildlife practically at our door. It may just be a matter of doing a bit more exploring and watching on my part.

Perhaps given both J.D. Salinger’s reclusiveness and his refusal to publish any new work for the last forty-plus years (not to mention his long life – he was 91), the announcement of his death last week seemed to me to have been greeted with more of a whimper than the bang one might expect for a writer of his stature and importance.
