Just Like Leno
Sorry, one more plug (just like when stars go on Leno to "plug" their new movie):

Etsy - Your place to buy and sell all things handmade
When I logged in today to check Hongyun's (Who's Hongyun?) stats on Etsy, I couldn't believe it when I saw that her Mongolian Bride piece had grown in views by about 400 overnight! There were also quite a few messages expressing adoration for Hongyun's various paintings. I thought to myself, "did we just get slashdotted for her painting?" Well the answer hit me when I went to Etsy's homepage:
Hongyun's painting has just started being featured on Etsy's homepage and we were getting a large number of hits from this. Anyway, I hope this leads to a sale for her...it's rough to work on art for many years and not sell a piece (although to be fair, she just started creating work for sale just this last year).
Anyway, if you haven't seen or tried etsy, I definitely recommend it.
