Charlotte thought assassinating Marat in the bath would end the Terror. But all it got her was a trip to the guillotine, and a slap in the face after she lost her head.
Howdy, everyone! I’m back with yet another “Priceless”-related announcement, and this time it’s the opening of the new “That Is Priceless” Etsy store! You may be asking, “Why an Etsy store, Steve? Isn’t there already a Zazzle store?” Well yes, good point, but I find the Etsy store interface easier to use than the Zazzle one (for both the buyer and the seller), and it gives me a chance to freshen up the inventory, so I thought I’d give it a try. That said, the Zazzle store is still fully operational, so feel free to do any shopping there if you’d prefer. Merchandise-wise, there’s a bit of cross-over between them.
Right now, the Etsy store is heavy on mugs (about 50) and light on greeting cards (about 10), but if it looks like people are into it, I’ll keep adding items. In fact, if you’ve got a favorite Masterpiece you’d like to see on a mug, card, magnet, candle, digital print, or what-have-you, just message me through the store and I’ll try to make it happen. I’ll also be checking in here the next couple days if you’ve got any comments/suggestions.
If you feel like popping in, just click on the Etsy widget down at the bottom of the page there.
“Very good, Mr. Munch. Now that you’ve peeled, just lie down in the tub and clamp down with this piece of felt in your jaws. The electrification procedure will make you feel so much better.
“With any luck you may stop hearing that nasty enormous infinite scream of nature that torments your soul with the universal anxiety of modern man — and paint nice majestic pictures of Norwegian fjords.
I see this painting in a slightly different perspective. I’ll explain…..It’s as if she is looking in a mirror and has taken a selfie. See the little red iPhone in her hand. She’s just walked in to find her husband in the bath and realized she should have taken a very deep breath before entering. Her husband has been blowing bubbles in the bathtub… not using his mouth. She is so overwhelmed she’s about to pass out and the colors are quickly melting and she has only moments to get out. That look on her face is Priceless is it not?
Two years of schooling, tens of thousands of dollars in student debt, and Anneika’s dreams of going into nursing to help others had culminated in this: Standing next to a bathtub holding an extra-large bottle of hemorrhoid cream.

/// Marat, in his medicinal bath,
had unknowingly earned Charlotte’s wrath.
With a sharp six-inch knife,
Corday ended his life.
Did she plan it? Well, you do the math.
