Outshine Them All

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. - Thomas A. Edison
Junk is the ideal product... the ultimate merchandise. No sales talk necessary. The client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. - William S. Burroughs
Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard. - Paul McCartney


The pencil box contains no pencils. Surely the printed colors have faded. The linen is gorgeously stained. Between the two "See and Draw Copier" boxes, I can put together one working armature. It is a fussy exercise in appropriate lighting (and squinting) to make it work. It is a novelty and doesn't help a person draw one bit.
