JazzArt Sunday Special

God, is it time to do the video thing already??? Okay, here goes the mix for Sunday, the 30th of October, 2022, just a few days before the Great Depression, which I will eventually come out of, but I thought today that I would post these videos of famous people playing jazz in front of my stage decorations/paintings/drops, which are coming up for sale at one of the most prestigious galleries on the planet — hold on to your hats for further details!

My Little JazzArt Collection

Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Grass Valley, Ca. Performance, 2016.

Well, here it is, my jazzart collection, brought to you one or  two sections at a time, weather and body issues permitting.

Of course, I should first introduce you to my little online  fine art gallery, and maybe show you around our JazzArt Exhibit, to give you the idea of how well-known and celebrity exhibited performance backdrops and panels actually have been over the past 35 years … Continue reading

How to SELL Your ART!!!

My Artwork behind “Jazz at Lincoln Center” – Stage Setup #1 by EJ Gold

Welcome to the world of the 21st century, the home of virtual domination. You enter the world always with a Level 1 Character, but if you’re a Level 99 Player, it doesn’t matter what your powers are or what your advantages might be — you play like a 99, and that really is the difference between a Level 1 Player and a Level 99 Player, if both are in Level 1 Chars.

The idea is to come into the world as a Level 1 Character, but then raise the char to 99 through hard work efforts and deep levels of meditation, acts of kindness and charity, and application of wisdom knowledge.

Fresh JazzArt Sold Here Now

Here’s one of my “Proof of Concept” JazzArt® trading cards. The idea is that we could offer them to various jazz foundations as fund-raisers and neighborhood jazz awareness programs, etc. to create interest and support for local jazz artists and venues. I’m hoping to have some ready for tonight’s Wynton Marsalis & Ted Nash concert in Grass Valley, featuring JazzArt from myself and our “Grass Valley Graphics Group” artists. I’ll be working the whole night through to get these done in time for printing (they also need back-printing, of course), insertion into top-loaders, presentation pages and all that sort of thing you do when making a product. We’re producing just a few artist’s proof copies to get the idea across, then we’ll arrange for photo rights, etc. with the photographers, artists, and of course, musicians. I had an idea that recordings of these concerts, especially videos, could be used as fund-raiser promotional premiums (would the correct Latin here be “premiae”???).

See You At The Top!!!
