On Prices

ED.2014 acrylic/mylar 34x48

I asked Tarek's expertise on buying a road bike. He told me that he could help to find a good used one; no need to overspend.  The road bike talk was going at the cave for quite a bit, involving several experts. Some were voting for a good used one, others pointed at undeniable virtues of a brand new machine, right for my size. 
Tarek browsed craiglist a few times for me, but ended up buying this portrait. Considering that he was a poor student preparing for Medical school, I gave him a break in price. I will be honest, there was a total of two paintings that went into paying for my bike.

It is not a sh*tty bike, obviously, but my art doesn't stink either!
