Why is it taking me forever to sell amazing things at amazing prices on Craig's List these days? Is it the economy or is it that Santa Cruz has never really embraced great design? My usual customers were 95% of the time from San Francisco but now that I live further afield things have stalled. How will I ever move with all of this stuff??? My mate Dave in London has one word for me: charity. "Ah Dave. Do I have to?"

A signed Campuzano original (he's a turn-of the-to mid-century artist from Bilbao, Spain for goodness sake!!):

Okay, someone needs to come with a big truck and just back it up to my house. Preferrably someone who wants to open a shop! It's all here. Everything you need to go into business…except for the customers! Help!

I’m sure you’ll find customers soon, cause your stuff is simply amazing and I don’t thing there’s nobody who like them. Just be patient and you’ll see.

Wow, i love the closeup view from the middle specially the one with a bridge, so lovely. The pink pillow is super adorable looking in that green chair. Lovely.

The mountain in the middle of the fourth frame looks like Mt. Everest, am I right? Perhaps, Paramount Pictures (2013 version)? LOL 😛 I see, you have a collection of lampshades. I like the last one on the line, it reminds me of the lampshade I used when I was in China (if I’m not mistaken, that was a special occasion :)).

I just came across your blog while researching jose campuzano. Is the painting still available for sale by chance? If so, I would be interested in buying it. Thanks!
