I've made about 60 paintings up to now and he wants 20 more and he says he can pick them up Monday. I've done 6 these editors just don't realize that paintings can't just be made up….each painting must come from the balls like a f.k few men can f.k six times a night 20 i.e. paintings is just impossible.
