Ireland it seems has no income tax for artists. So lots of people you might not have thought of as artists apparently are. At least in Ireland. We come across this odd fact when we noted the fax back number on the galley proofs of an article we have been following. It may be an irrelevant coincidence but we thought it interesting. 

This particular journal is the most efficient we've ever seen in getting the e-pub ahead of print, and copy editing process under way.(48 hour turn around in the wee hours of Dec 23rd!) It's Christmas Day, the galley proofs are done, so discussion of the article itself will have to wait.
