Bound For Glory

“Me & My Money”, a serigraph produced decades ago.

My serigraphs used to retail at $1800-$3000, but we haven’t marketed them for at least 20 years — what are today’s prices? No idea, but we’re going to find out.

I intend to dig out some of those serigraphs, produced in the days before computer generated “giclee” color printing. These are from pastel originals. They are each and every one completely hand-printed, each color laid down separately, through a carefully prepared silkscreen, until all colors are present on the print.

Technically, it is “a work on paper”, and is produced in a profoundly limited run, hence it is sometimes referred to as “a multiple original” or “an original multiple”, depending on what part of the country your gallery might be standing.

I’m offering them today at ridiculously low prices, because my market has yet to be re-established in the marketplace.

Hence and therefore, the serigraph “Me & My Money” is available FRAMED to retail at $850, which means that your wholesale cost will be $350, allowing you to “keystone double”, which is standard retail practice.

Keep in mind that this piece comes framed, and that means money. If you don’t want it framed, take off $50 and we’ll ship you the serigraph flat — I don’t roll prints if I can help it — of course, large paintings on canvas are quite another matter.

There are not many of any of my earlier serigraphs left — they sold surprisingly well at the time — so if you want one of these compelling and dramatic pieces, better say so right now. Please don’t contact me months from now and expect to get one of these serigraphs. Continue reading

Denying the Form

In art, especially when you’re just learning the advanced levels, as I was at Otis Art Institute on that fateful day in 1967, you eventually learn about “denying the form”. What this means is that you create an illusion, generally a three-dimensional illusion on canvas, such as a landscape oil painting, and then you paint big numbers and letters all over it, jolting the viewer back to the two-dimensional canvas, rather than the deep landscape underneath it.

Well, it happened to my beautiful Ashram, as I predicted it must. I by no means want to discourage builders, but they must learn, not just go wild. Frank Lloyd Wright really had something there when he expressed the opinion that a house should not just be planted down anywhere in any shape — it should take into consideration the environment into which it is going. It’s not just the Purple Penis and the Flying Fairy Ball — in themselves there’s nothing wrong with them in a private region or property, but this is not private, and you are not encouraged to go wild with self-expression; it’s a place of work.

I know it seems absurd of me to point out things like that as glaring examples of inappropriate style in the Ashram, but those examples go a long way toward explaining what I mean here. Continue reading

The World of UrthGame

Well, it’s time to unveil my plans for UrthGame, the next level up from Prosperity Path. The Levels are intended to function as Level 2 of the Prosperity Path. UrthGame Levels are definitely ideal Coaches and Guides. I’m currently working on the first 3 levels for the beginning of the UrthGame  Matrix; there’s a Coaching Report Form which I’ll be working to complete, and I’ll keep you informed as it goes along. I’m anywhere from a few days to a few weeks away from release of the first UrthGame Levels, if that helps any. You’re welcome to discuss UrthGame on the Forum — those who know about it should tell those who don’t. I’ll post more on this exciting development in the next few days.

See You At The Top!!!
