"I want to follow the view that more sales channels are better," adds DeLillo, "Fotolia, one of the world's leading sources for high quality microstock imagery is the logical first stop for me. They are experiencing rapid growth and being very innovative in their marketing."

Fotolia is where recent hires Garth Johnson, former VP Business and Community Development of rival firm iStockphoto, and iStockphoto co-founder, Patrick Lor, have recently taken executive positions.

Speaking of swirls, the croppies are out walking around crop circles in a 50 minute documentary from 2008. Even the aliens think that December 21, 2012 is going to be a cosmic event. Why has there never been a photo of UFO in the area of a new crop circle? Maybe they have. See the video at 38:30 at Oliver's Castle August 1996. I never knew that they find microscopic magnetic particles at many of the sites.

My guilty obsession with swastikas - Imprint - Salon.com

My guilty obsession with swastikas - Imprint - Salon.com:

[notice the nazi logo has been flipped (the tips point clockwise) 

which is different than other versions of this ancient symbol. The 

Romans did the same when they assimilated the Greek Alphabet]

"As a designer I have long been fascinated by the unmitigated power of the swastika. Yet as a Jew I am embarrassed by my fascination. This paradox is one reason why I wrote the book 'The Swastika: A Symbol Beyond Redemption?' Though working on it did not resolve my conflict. Indeed I have become even more obsessed with the symbol -- more drawn to yet repulsed by it."

Since my book was published in March 2000 I have received various letters from well-intentioned people accusing me of bias. A Native American wrote that the swastika is his people's symbol and my assertion that it should never be revivified in Western culture is presumptuous and racist. He argues that the whites stole his land and now his icons. Another critic stated that no one remembers the logos of Attila the Hun or Genghis Khan, likewise in 1,000 years or less who will remember the symbol of Hitler's 12-year Reich. He feels that the ancient meaning of the swastika will ultimately triumph. Similarly, an Asian-American wrote that in his culture, the red swastika is his emblem of good fortune, and described how his local green grocer displays it in his shop. Why, he asks, if the meaning is diametrically opposed to the Nazis, should I care whether or not it is used in this cultural context?

Antiques: Pennsylvania redware flaunts its colors at Brandywine | Philadelphia Inquirer

Antiques: Pa. redware flaunts its colors at Brandywine | Philadelphia Inquirer | 05/27/2011:

"1840, attributed to Henry Grady of Somerset County, sold at Pook & Pook in October for $59,250."

Serious collectors will seek out larger pieces and unusual shapes, colorful slip designs, and incised inscriptions that add context. Pook explained, "You want to have some sort of slip decoration - wavy lines, for example - and the more ornate that is, the higher the price."
The redware display ties into the current exhibition at Winterthur, "Paint, Pattern and People: Furniture of Southeastern Pennsylvania, 1725-1850." An expedition to both museums makes a perfect day's outing.

Paper Foxing - Book defects + Poster condition and grading #Collecting

paper foxing - book defects, originally uploaded by dotpattern.

Snowflake shaped "Foxing" damage is a common problem with paper produced after 1840 when wood pulp (with related impurities and additives) was substituted for cotton and other fibers that were used historically for the production of paper.
