This edition of Artful Notes won't involve any running, but your index finger might get tired from clicking on all of the links! Thank me later for the workout!

Let's go!

Art I've Found

Jessica Cardelucci is a photographer whose black and white images bring a sense of wonder to my soul.

I’ve been a fan of her work since I started finding folks in the NFT world, and her art of mustangs, not to mention her other works, is stunning.

I've Written

My short story is live and available on Amazon! https://a.co/d/46QKFzD

I am really proud of putting this out there. I know many of the things I post can be funny, but this short story touches on serious subject matter so don't be surprised if you shed a tear rather than chuckle.

If you can help by spreading the word to your friends who like to read fiction, I would be grateful.

My Art

Along with my short story, I have also opened up an online photo store where you can order my art! 

"Foul Pole" is one of the first pieces available, and ties to my short story I released. 

If visiting the store, be sure to also check out my Out of This World Collection!

More pieces will be added throughout the year!

Music I've Found

Most people don’t know that I have an appreciation for what is considered industrial music. A friend of mine suggested I listen to Lord of the Lost, and sure enough, I was hooked.

For those of you who like things on the softer side, you might not want to click the video as it might just frighten you, or have you think, “Andy likes this crap?” Yes, yes I do like it.

My Dorky Song

Those of you who have followed my dorky songs for a while know of my love of a good breakfast sandwich, you know, your standard egg, bread, Canadian Bacon, etc, but I may have found a different breakfast sandwich that bring me joy.

If you find yourself making breakfast and have some french toast and some berries, may I suggest you make a sandwich. It's very tasty!

One More Thing...

For a variety of reasons, the cockroach will probably live forever. One of those reasons is simply that most bug sprays in the United States won't really do much to kill them according to a study by some University of Florida smart people.

Sure, you can go really, really, really, old school and use diatomaceous earth, letting the fossils slowly kill them by damaging the exoskeleton of the roach, but in the end, we will all be dirt and the roaches will probably still be roaming the earth.

Thanks always for your interest!

If you would be so kind to share this newsletter with your friends, I would appreciate it!

See you next week!
