There's a show of Bill Traylor's drawings at Atlanta's High Museum: Feb 5 - May 13, 2012. Get over there! "Bill Traylor (1854?–1949) was born into slavery on a plantation in Alabama. After emancipation, he continued to live and work on the plantation until sometime before 1928, when he moved permanently to Montgomery. There he worked as a laborer and briefly in a shoe factory until he was physically unable to continue, then began receiving modest government assistance. Under the challenging conditions of Depression-era Alabama, Traylor survived on the streets in the then primarily black enclave of Monroe Avenue (now called Monroe Street). He slept first in the storage room of a funeral parlor, then in a shoe repair shop, and spent his days sitting on the sidewalks, creating the more than 1,200 drawings he is believed to have produced." source: High Museum website.

My "free" calendar got hijacked the other day by websites that aggregate and trade links for free samples. I've received approximately 2000 (and climbing) friendly and inquisitive emails from all corners of the USA and farther afield. Just ordinary folks …folks looking for free stuff. I had to send them all away empty handed. Broke my heart. Free is a big hassle. Be careful how you advertise in the new social media economy!
