There are the few that are Great<\/i>, and there are the many that are Little<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The Great<\/i> are classics, or well on their way. Everyone knows them. They have a following. They have names. They get stolen.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The Little<\/i> are sparks. Bright, in a tiny way. A glowing grain of sand.<\/p>\n

The Great<\/i> grow from thumbnails. The Little<\/i> are a thumbnail.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

A frame is the fortress of The Great<\/i>, and the gallery it’s royal domain. The legs of The Little<\/i> are trapped by the frame, and die in captivity.<\/p>\n

To be printed, purchased and analyzed, is the way of The Great<\/i>. To be seen and not deleted, is the apex of The Little<\/i>.
