so impressed with everyone's pick-ups . . . getting an inferiority complex.

but was pretty happy with these:

two Tiny Showcase prints by James Naughton, one of my favorites

Just a quick note: All 5 of my picks were made possible by fellow members here. Metropolis and Croatoan were both sold to me through ISO threads, OTGW was PBed from the show, Norns was a trade, and I only knew about the Nosego cuz a link was posted in its art comments thread. This place has been an invaluable resource to me as I define my collection and hunt down the things I missed since arriving late to the party. So yeah, thanks to all you guys! Can't wait to see what next year brings.
