My Christmas/Birthday Wish List

Seeing as it is Black Friday, and both my Birthday and Christmas are right around the corner, its time for my annual Wish List. Which consist of the usual impossibilities of World Peace, Compassion, and Understand to all creatures. In addition to the possible, mostly art supplies of one form or another.

For either Christmas or my Birthday (the 19th of Dec):

• Become my Patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Odis_Holcomb

• A Gift Certificate to Dick Blick Art Supplies (these go the furthest, and allow me to either get or reduce the cost of expensive and wide verity of art supplies I use): http://www.dickblick.com/

• Anything Princess Luna from My Little Pony. Preferably T-shirts (2x in Size, Black). I really like this one: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/30157-princess-of-the-night Tho any design or MLP t-shirt or garment with bring me joy.

• Any My Little Pony Funko Vinyls (Except Luna, Discord, Rarity, and Big Mac; I have those). Here is a list of most of them: http://data.mlpmerch.com/funko-figures/type/vinyl/

• Stretched Canvases: One thing that is the most needed by me is a large number of surfaces to paint on. I would like to have 24” x 30” canvases on hand for some future works. Though I will take 18” x 24”, and 16” x 20”. These are the best quality for the price: http://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-premier-traditional-78-profile-cotton-canvas/

You can find cheap generic student quality ones at Wal-Mart for really cheap. Which will do in a pinch. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Simply-24-x-30-Stretched-Canvas-2pk/25596796

My dream canvases are Belgian Linen Pre-stretched and Primed Canvas, but they get really expensive. Like kind of ridiculous expensive. The link is for the cheapest ones: http://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-premier-belgian-1-38-profile-linen-canvas/

• Ampersand Gesso Boards: Again, one thing that is the most needed by me is a large number of surfaces to paint on. Ampersand Gesso Boards are my standard archival surfaces that I use for customers. I need several of any of the following sizes:
  8” x 10” x 1/8”
  11” x 14” x 1/8”
  16” x 20” x 1/8”
  18” x 24” x 1/8”
  24” x 30” x 3/4”

• Scotch Whiskey: Any guality mid or top shelf Scotch. My absolute favorite is Dalmore 12 year, with Glenlivet 15, or Glidfinach 15 being close seconds. Though I will drink any smooth, woodsy, Speyside Scotches (Dalmore being the Highland Exception).

That is it really. Blick Gift Certificates, Painting Surfaces, Princess Luna, MLP, and Scotch. Here is to wishful thinking.

Merry Christimas, Happy Yule, and a Warm Hearts-Warming. Grin
