The little joys of OA collecting 0

[exitmusicblue]

Off the top of my head,

- The smell of (some) old -- typically GA and SA -- art. 

- The ink texture in solid areas/patches of black. There's life there (versus, say, in a print).

- The hunt for new pieces by old favorites as well as serendipitous discovery of new-to-me artists.  The latter generally goes like this: "Oh, hey, that's pretty good... whoa, that too... Oooo."

- Flipping through portfolios at cons. Viewing is so much better in person, and what's on the Internet is just a fraction of what's out there.

- The camaraderie / fellowship spanning all ages, geographies, and (extremely  ) different personalities.

- Carefreely browsing the boards and CAF when there's nothing else (work, fam obligations, etc.) to do.  Often in bed.  With Vampi... just kidding, you sickos.
