“Chaloners”, Linocut, 8×10
I finished this quick lino-cut on Friday. Chaloner’s Tobacco store is in downtown Adrian and two doors down from the LCVA Gallery. I’ve known the owners since the 80’s. They are good folks and I love visiting them. I buy my Fly Tyer Magazines there and always grab a bag of fresh popcorn and cold Coke. I used to smoke cigars more than I do now, but I did have one this weekend. My friend gave me a Classic Acid cigar and I have to admit it was pretty good. I’m tempted to go out and buy a few this weekend, but they seem to taste better when they are free..ha! Anyway, I did this for the Art-a-licious Festival this Fall.

Greetings from Dublin, Ireland. As you may gather, my surname is Chaloner and I’d appreciate if you said hello next time you’re in the Tobacco store.
Do you sell your art? I’m a keen amateur photographer and have a presence on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/hughchal/
Thanks,
Hugh
Hello Hugh,
It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Sorry about the snobby behavior during my previous 1796 trips to your store..ha!
As for sales I still work on a hand shake and smile. But, one of these days I’ll sign up for an Etsy account….when I grow up =)
