500 years?... really?

It's been a while... I have been doing some postworthy stuff so far this year. I don't know why it is hard to start posting after taking a break from it for a few weeks. Anyway, I am going to start with simple short posts and try to get back into the habit of regular posts again.
I am working on a portrait commission this month. It is my first in oils. More on this to follow soon.
I bought a linen canvas for this project. It arrived today with a label that guarantees it for 500 years...

Hmmm. Really? I guess I had better keep my receipt. I wonder what the return policy will be when the cyborgs rule the earth.
