ACEO original Pull the  rat out of the hat trick

(c)2006 Elton Houck...HERE IS THE SKINNY ON THIS ONE...It is the age old story of the bumbling magician who attempts the standard palor trick of pulling the preverbial rabbit out of the hat, but this bungler instead pulls out a long eared GIANT RAT! I know you've seen this one painted a thousand times byy many of the Old World masters, but none the less, I had to put my own spin on this ancient tale ( or ears in this case...And if you think this one is comperable to Rembrants, or Delacroix, or Gainsborough's verion,,then buy this masterpiece for your collection..lol...

It is a masterpiece, it is!!! :) Hey, buddy, i've been off broadband for a while, just getting it back through another ISP now, but it's erratic, so hope to be back soon. Keep the subversive flag flying! :) PS...Do these cards sell? I'm so poor right now, I'd try anything ;)
