     Many people ask me who this is a painting of, and I say, "It's Chun-Li, from 'Streetfighter'."
     It is my version of her, in any case.
     If someone offered me one-hundred dollars for it, I would accept it.
     If someone gave me $500 for it, I wouldn't bat an eye, but I would jump for joy after the buyer left.

     A thing I want to mention that a lot of people don't know about, is that art galleries take 50% of all sales an artist does in a gallery.  That is standard, across the country.  It used to be 60/40 in favor of the artist, but that simply is not true anymore.

     Then, if the artist has an agent, that fee can be 30% of his 50%.

     If you do the math, that is why art is expensive.

     D'OH!

     I just want to mention while I am thinking about it is a black man told me once that there are poor man's prices, and rich man's prices.  So one should always be considerate.
     I found this to be good advice over the years.
