Hey there, i'm in the Wes Anderson lovers group with you. I really like your idea for a mini painting swap where we send each other a painting of our a character in the royal tennenbaums. Or something you would see in there house. Would you like to do a private swap with me? I don't think anyone from the group wants to. let me know...Have a good day:)
