Sammie2 Pastel Portrait

Meet Sammie2 - such a cute pup! She's a little tyke, probably older than her face that you see, and I have yet to meet her in person, but from what I can tell, she definitely has character...and charisma too!

She's Sammie2, because a few years back, I did a portrait of another Sammie, who, alas is no longer with us.

Anyway, here is Sammie2's portrait after a few hours of work... Next posting you'll see how she looks after several more hours on the job.

Stay tuned~!

Western Airlines PHOENIX Poster now on eBay

Beautiful poster from the 1970s - early 1980s featuring Phoenix, Arizona, one of Western Airlines' many destinations. Alas, the airline is no longer around. But the company's memories live on in the minds of its former employees, and physically in the form of memorabilia such as this poster!

Check out Wally Bird on the golf ball in the foreground, in his typical on-the-back tail seat, as he sips a glass of bubbly, saying "Western Airlines...the only way to fly."

The bidding begins at $19.99, a small price to pay for priceless memories.

Wally Bird Sticker AND Western Airlines Wings!

Well, well, well... what do you know now? Here's Wally - an embossed-type sticker with no more stick to it from the "good ol' days" of Western Airlines ilk. (Ilk, that's a word, isn't it? Something I haven't heard in a long time - like the name of the old airline company Western Airlines -- that's been gone a while too...)

In any event, check it out! And the bidding begins at a mere PENNY! One cent US. "Why bother," you may ask. My answer: "Someone might want to reminisce with these two items, wouldn't you think, perhaps?" Just a thought...

Auction starts today, Tuesday, July 26th, and ends on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011.

Something to think about at least, or mull over "the only way to fly" from days long gone...
