D.J. Lafon is one of Oklahoma's most-respected artists and one I have collected for a number of years. His works are in numerous collections and museums. He has always had a literary bent (one of my first purchases was a portrait of James Joyce) and often includes text in his works. He generously offered to allow me to use these images for Post-a-Quote.
I have multiple quotes for all of these authors. If you want a short list of possibilities one will be furnished upon request. This page is not set up for ordering as the category pages. If you are interested in ordering any cards with these authors and images please email and I will give you additional information. The link is at the bottom of the page.
