Artists have been trading work since they were scratching out scenes on cave walls in prehistoric times. "I will draw you an elk if you make me a feather hat like Thor has," as the conversation might have gone. I myself have been building up a collection of traded work.I traded Mark Flowers a collage for this painting which has a secret I found while changing a diaper at 2 in the morning.




And I got a few of the famed Moonshine Cups from Micah Sherrill for a collage. I once traded a painting for a nice antique camera, I paid for most of my wedding in trade, and I even traded a painted portrait of Bob Dylan for a pet snake.
