I'm an artist and I hate the amount of commission galleries charge. If you like one of an artist's pieces, wait until after the exhibition and approach them privately: you'll get the picture for half the price and the artist will make more money.

Me (boring, lazy): Safety pins!

My student (creative, motivated): Sew it up and add awesome embroidery!

Don't ask me anything about #dinosaurs.🦖🦕 I hardly know anything about them. But this one never ceases to amaze me: a clutch of Oviraptor, 80 million (!) years old! The eggs were laid pair-wise and covered with sand.
