You saw artist Souther Salazar’s work on our cover just last week—and you can see why we chose it. It’s fun, a touch melancholy, and just a great piece of art that will look fantastic in your domicile (or that of a loved one). Give your pal/lover/relative the gift of art this year! You can pick it up as early as next week—that’s plenty of time for the holidays.

BUT DUDE. You gotta hurry! The Mercury Cover Art Charity Auction ENDS IN A MERE THREE HOURS. Bid your ass off!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
