Folk Inspiration and Finds

I went ermmm....thrifting.  Yes, I confess to being bizarrely in love with finding awesome things hidden within piles of junk.  I will be posting some sketches and illustrations really soon, but in the meantime I wanted to show you guys some of what I found.  First, for one dollar, I got a massive bag of used paintbrushes.  Now, this might seem silly, because because they are used, but seeing as how I have a tendency to scrub the canvas with my brushes I thought that these would come in handy.  Second, look at these weird little folk-art piggies! They are precious, and I don't know what to do with them yet.
