Ah, come my friend, up to the rooftop, where we may take a load off our feet, fill our pipes with bitter-sweet opium and dream of what is and what might've been.
Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ — Dream of a Eunuch — 1874
As a eunuch, that putto with the knife has great significance.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Hey, Thom, Golden Age Comic Book Stories is gone. Any idea what's up with Mr Door Tree?
Well, now it's back. Never mind.
