The artist

I almost forgot ... Pickle contributed some artwork to the art show at Anime Fest for his anime club. The concept was that any proceeds would go toward the anime club's funds for snacks, entertainment, etc. He submitted two pieces. I bought one for $10 in a buy it now feature. The other piece had a few bids on it, so I didn't try to buy it. Pickle found out tonight that the piece sold for $30 at auction! How cool is that? He seemed unphased. But, then again, he will be 14 in a few weeks and has already won the only two art contests he's ever entered.
