I can't wait to see (David Cassidy). You have been a whole lot of fun, too, and I have really enjoyed doing business with you. I might just have to order some special items as gifts for family and friends. Thanks for being so nice. P.S. I got my beautiful box today, and I love the little surprise tucked inside! You did a fantastic job, and you can bet you will be hearing from me again. Take care and I wish you much success on your business." Winston-Salem, NC. |
"The box (BioBox) was waiting there for me at work this morning. I just wanted to thank you so much ... it looks awesome! I know my friend will love it. I've shown some friends at work and I've got people interested in your work, so I'll be forwarding them your information." -- Washington, DC |
"We Got the box (Ragtime). It was gorgeous and my Mom loved it. You're so talented! Thanks!" P.S. "Again and again your talent shines in the work I order from you. Thank you for creating these beautiful pieces of art that I am proud to give as gifts." Valley Stream, NY |

| The Weakly News |
| More for your hopeful amusement, this little column features examples of why I have absolutely no inclination to practice journalism professionally anymore ... ever. The photographs are ones that I (or somebody with whom I worked with and probably didn't like one tiny little bit) took during my stint as sports/features editor for my hometown weekly newspaper in the early 1980s right after college graduation. Whoa, what an awful sentence! The people in these photos and their "exhibits" are totally real (who could make this stuff up?) and all of these pictures were published in that leading newspaper. I wish I had kept more of these pictorial treasures ... I can hear Pulitzer calling. But I am very glad that I carted around the dozen or so that I have in my possession for the past quarter century. So, like a talented Mr. Ripley, believe it or not! And ain't that incredible? |
| BoxBoy Makes the D(C) List! |
| Your very own BoxBoy had the pleasure of selling a trinket box to the Honorable Anthony Williams, Mayor Emeritus of the District of Columbia, at the 2006 Downtown Holiday Market in our nation's capital. BoxBoy hates publicity and there were cameras clicking and a plethora of mayoral entourage staring the entire time the Mayor contemplated his purchase. No big deal ... only one of the heads (with antlers) fell to the ground whilst BB wrote up the purchase. We had truly hoped our Barack would come on down in '09 and continue his ceaseless spending. He didn't make it. |

Images only parents could love (but still be ashamed of at the same time). Above, a sweetly, mild mannered BoxBoy as he appeared posing for the school photographer. Below, Christmas morning in West Tennessee sometime in the mid 1960s. Below, the grandmother looks adoringly at rugrats greedily accepting Santa's offering. Oh, the cute one in front of the cardboard fireplace is the baby brother. |

"Outta the Wheel Chair" or "Looking for Master Bates" Obviously, not a box at all but an original BoxBoy collage on canvass for your approval and amusement. Why is it that people like us are fascinated with Joan Crawford and Bette Davis? This iconic depiction is a study in role reversal ... our Bette is the cripple and our Joan is the mean one in "Whatever Happened to Bitchy Blanche?" The setting is the Norman Bates manse/motel from "Psycho". While Alfred Hitchcock was not available for consultation, he would certainly agree that a mother IS a boy's best friend. |
