one of the best emails I've ever received:

Hi Alicia,

My wife & I were at the Burchfield-Penney this morning and saw your Coffee Cup Conveyor Belt Calendar. Because today's cup was approaching the end of the belt, we decided to wait it out for 5 minutes or so. Actually watching the cup approach the end, the anticipation, as well as the optical illusion of believing you are seeing movement on the belt is just, well, "cool".

I'm glad I was able to find your e-mail address on the Internet. I've seen a lot of pretty interesting things in my 50+ years and I just wanted you to know that this piece is right up there with them.

Thanks for the art.
