As of Tuesday The Dart Gallery is also now selling copies of my self-published rhyming storybook: "What If Michelangelo Was A Telemarketer", $10 each.
I also dropped off a bunch of ornaments, but out of respect and gratitude for all veterans I'll post those pics later. The Dart Gallery honours Remembrance Day and doesn't start getting geared up for the holidays until later in the month.
