Getting started on writing the newsletter. Then Pleb Lab has a workshop on the Bitcoin whitepaper led by an SN user (that I don't want to doxx in case it's a compartmentalized nym).
Then I'm probably going to a framing store to get two reproductions I have re-matted. I recently found a lithograph of Jose Manuel Capuletti's Not Guilty that I'm super excited about and I have a shuttle launch photo I found at a thrift store that has yellowed matting.

Art collecting is awesome! What's your favorite piece that you own?
Have you made any works yourself?

sorry to bump in, but im a fan of stills from movies and then getting them printed on aluminium. its cheap and comes out great and is durable. you can create your own unique collection this way :) but maybe movie stills is a bit boring for most people. carry on

Due to liquidity issues :), I don't really collect, but I do try to find stuff I like and put it somewhere I can look at it. I love art and I hate bare walls.
What's your favorite piece that you own?
My friend Doug is a painter. I bought a piece from him years ago and we keep that in the living room. I'm not sure it's my style (abstract), but the sentimental value is high and its well executed.
Have you made any works yourself?
I used to oil paint, years ago. I gave away all the finished pieces over the years, but I have a few canvases I haven't finished in the garage.
Do you collect?

I found some old Celestial Arts posters from the 70's at an estate sale. One is kind of grim, but I keep them in the living room.
