Why Oscar Wilde is wrong about the true artist
The great Oscar Wilde says, “A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public. The public are to him non-existent.” Sorry, Oscar Wilde, but you are wrong.

I wonder if this is how must humans live. — Matt's Health (@mattshealth) October 9, 2013 The very fact that I misspelled “most” reinforces the fact that I cannot think. Pretty funny.

Monarch butterfly pattern
For my mom’s birthday card, I’m using an image of a Monarch butterfly (i’ll post the image sometime soon). I always like to make custom envelopes, because we have a printer at work that can make 11×17 prints. This particular envelope was easy. I just cropped the wing of the butterfly to get most of …
