Vortex
Exciting climbing and drug adventure set in the Cascades. This thriller was inspired by a true story which has become part of mountaineering folklore. Two climbers on Mount Redoubt, on the US-Canadian border, stumble across a crashed light aircraft with a dead pilot, an injured survivor and a cargo of cocaine. Hardcover, DJ, New. Winner of the 1990 Boardman Tasker Award,
San Francisco narcotics cop William Holley has Walter Matheson under surveillance, waiting for the cocaine dealerto make an error on one of his smuggling runs across the Canadian border. He plans an arrest when Matheson hires a light aircraft to run a key shipment over the Cascade mountains into Washington State. But the plane crashes and Matheson turns up a week later in San Francisco denying all knowledge of the affair.
Climbers Alex Townsend and Gordon Wilson are drawn into the mystery and as police and the criminals close in, Alex, Gordon and Alex's girlfriend Linda are trapped in an uncontrollable vortex of guilt, beyond their control.
David Harris unfolds his story with economy and drive, positioning and characters in cunning juxtaposition in a tense story set against the cities and mountains of western America and Canada. The book first appeared in the omnibus One Step in the Clouds and received instant acclaim.

Thanks Dave! You rock!!
So those who don't have PayPal or a credit card to use on there but would still like to contribute, I will gladly accept cheques, or interact e-mail transfers.
Remember. Each photo you buy helps a: my recovery and b: achieve my dream of becoming a professional photographer!! I thought about bringing prices down a bit but really, if you are buying only one print, after shipping and printing I won't make much on it, but something is always better than nothing and I'm stoked to sell prints!!
The wallpaper option is a good one too, that way I just email it and keep the five bucks...
Thanks to all!

My wall rack from the late 1960s turned up recently, and it's got some pins that were used on the first ascent of University Wall in 1967. Here's one, proceeds going to help Big Mike. 4"/10 cm overall length.
Guaranteed to have been used extensively on the wall. A bit of Squamish history, well used, not one of these pristine things that Chessler sells. Bids start at $15, end Saturday, March 16, whenever I check the email in the morning.
If nobody bids, I'll donate it to Mike as a souvenir.

hey there, say, all....
this is NOT DONE!!!
it's just to GET SOMEONE thinking on the possibility of owning it...
... will be done by monday or tues...
it is not a multi layer oil upon oil, etc, though...
edit: forgot THIS is 11 by 14
(could not buy the larger canvas, this time)
it's FEET are grasping the branches...
it still looks ODD at that point...
this is just the basic set up, above...
will pretty much be the same, but a few more details
on the bird...
and perhaps the branches, a bit,
and a last minute touch-up...
ahhh, shucks, could NOT help my self, i just don't
like to do a pic in one setting, with oil... :(
so i am putting detail layer over this...
THE EYES, face, a few branches, etc...
otherwise, they always seem like they are calling for more, to me...
well...
will put the last bit on, this weekend...
and then
WILL POST IT AS DONE! ...
WOW, i love painting birds and landscape again, :)
been so busy with portraits, :) i MISSED all this fun!!!
NOTE:
you may either email me now, as to wanting to start something
with it... or just wait...
i WILL figure out how to do all this, next week... :)

I run my own carpet cleaning business. My standard prices are $45 two room minimum. $119 for 1200 square feet and 10Cents/sf beyond that.
I will go half that price for anyone who wishes to help Big Mike. (upto $100 total for a single job (ie 2000 SF)) All proceeds will go to Big Mike Via US Postal International Money Order. I will photo the money order and envelope and email that to you as receipt.
Mike has sent me the address to send checks to and will confirm when he gets them.
Areas of Service are Reno, Tahoe, Truckee, Carson, Fallon hell anywhere within 50 miles of Reno basically
PM me via ST and I will call. My phone will let me know within 10 minutes of an e-mail via PM.
I am not at all here to advertise my business On CMacs site. Thus I am not attaching my website. I am glad to donate my time and expenses to help a brother out. At half price it will hopefully be a great way to get those nagging carpet spots, traffic areas and procrastinating out of the way for a great price and cause.

OK here is my painting of the Painted Wall at Dawn in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
it dimensions are 22" X 28" and it is an original oil.
I offer it up to auction off for Big Mike.
I will also be offering signed copies of several PhiloToons and even a few originals if folks are interested. More information to follow.
Who will make an opening bid for Big Mike on the Painted Wall?
