If you want to come as close as possible to the source, why not try to
get information from the Carl Larsson museum in Sundborn, Dalecarlia?
Either try to find their phone number, which is most likely listed
under "Carl Larsson gaarden" (where "aa" is really an "a" with a small
circle above). Or try writing to this incomplete, but probably
adequate address: Carl Larssongaarden, Sundborn, Sweden. If you don't
know how to get a foreign telephone number, either call your local
telephone company or ask at your local library. As the museum is in
the home of the Larssons, it hasn't moved for quite some time, so even
old address information will still be correct. 

If your wife really likes the art of Carl Larsson, she would probably
enjoy a visit to Sundborn very much, as you can instantly recognize
the interiors from many of his water-colours. Prints of his work are
of course much more available in Sweden than abroad, as are books
about his life and work. Not to mention that of Karin
Bergioeoe-Larsson, his wife who decorated their home.

Hi there,

Please let me know if this is not a right newsgroup ...

I am looking to buy an airbrush. I am a beginner and therefore I would like
to here what other people are using and where did they buy it. I have some
information on Badger, Paasche, and Aztek airbrushes. I am interested
in a finer work so probably some of the gravity feed models should do.
On the other hand, I see in ads that Paasche VL and Badger 150 (both suction
feed airbrushes) are popular.

Addresses (phones) of art supplies mail-order places are welcome.

BTW, are there any other newsgroups dealing with art and art techniques ?

Thanks for help

In our part of the world you can find at least two versions (two sizes)
of Carl Larsson calendars, but they lack consistency in printing
clarity. For example, the large 1992 calendar  was noticably
inferior to the 1991, as far as colors, depth etc. I'm sure
if the museum wanted to make quality prints available to the
American market, there would be a ready market.
Perhaps someone over there can suggest it to them!

Yes it can be done  - or at  least you should be  able to. I paint with
acrylics and there are two things that  work  fairly well. First is
covering the painted areas with alcohol - denatured is good, but I see
little  difference in using plain old rubbing alcohol which is cheaper.
Neither should harm the denim. Alcohol  works as an  acrylic solvent and
I believe the only reason it's not used in the paint is because it would
cause it to dry too fast. Alcohol will cause the dry paint to soften up
immediately and then you can  go about scraping  it off with some kind
of sharp tool. I like the Red Devil scrapers a lot as well as those
vicious looking handles they sell at  hardware stores that have a slot
that you can slide a  straight  razor into. Keep in mind that all this 
scraping may soften up the fabric a bit but well, what can ya do? If you
repeat this covering with alcohol and scraping, depending on what the
paint was like to begin with, you should be able to get most of it off. 
    The other method I like is using a drill with a metal bristle
grinding bit or one of those  5" sanding pads. No shit, this will work
but you have to be a bit more careful as you can sand a hole through the
material. Using a metal bristle brush bit is slower but less chancy than
the sanding pads. This is probably the more successful method of the
two. I sand parts of my paintings to correct or change things and can
remove the paint all the way down to the unprimed canvas - returning the
area to the original tone of the canvas. Truly wonderful. Of course you
can weaken the canvas this way  but fuck it, it's worth putting a little
hole in the image. At least, I don't care. So either way should work. 
 - Marc

P.S. I'd be interested in hearing from others who use acrylics and have
found interesting non-traditional tools or methods for working with this
kind of paint. Has anyone had any bad experiences with adding alcohol to
their paint or using any other additives?

Because of an unfortunate error in the Makefile that is used to build the

They are only partially set for A4 paper, since a flag for groff was missing.

The U.S. versions and the U.K. New Century Schoolbook version are just fine.

If you downloaded those files, do not print them.  Get the New Century
Schoolbook version instead or wait a couple of weeks for the 6.01 version.
The Makefile will be corrected for that release.

Sorry if this causes a problem.

I've heard it theorized that humans could successfully reproduce with
some of the higher apes - Chipanzees are the ones I remember.
If the two races had a common origin in the distant past, I don't see
