  1. Very cool paintings. Particularly like 5 and 6. Where do you unearth all these treasures from?

  2. Mostly archive.org, I started reading and posting stuff from books hosted there around 4 years ago... kept going as one book lead to another and another.

  3. Well, you certainly have an eye for the good stuff. I always discover something new (about the old) from your two blogs.
