Hello. While all the books and some of the paintings and the greeting cards are for sale here at 148 Curious Things, my experience to date as a struggling author and artist doesn't indicate a sudden windfall of riches.

That's why I am asking you to consider making a donation to and for my work. The cost of rent and utilities, domain and hosting for this site, and ongoing painting supplies, is considerable. I could use the support.

Making any donation will make you something of a Patron of my work, and I will be very grateful. I have a PayPal account here -- b.cushman@hotmail.com -- and/or can be contacted at that same email.

Thank you.
