Ewww, I just realized the title of this post is kind of icky sounding. No matter. I finished two new postcards for my postcard swap. So i’m feeling good! Here they are. This will be a new series called Dick and Jane. I think. Thoughts?

I hadn’t cruised Ebay in a long time so recently while perusing stores for odd ephemera, movie star memorabilia, and other stuff I can clutter my life with, I came across this picture of Maximilian Schell.
