You Need to Know This

These paper plates can be mounted in deep frames to look like ceramics.

If you’re a stock clerk or on floor sales or you’re a buyer or an assistant buyer, it’s important — vital, actually — that you should be more or less constantly aware of ALL the currently stored and shelved merchandise, and I mean the ENTIRE line of merchandise.

Of course, in this age of automation and e-gadgets, nobody does that anymore. You simply enter the code or name or description of the thing, and you get a spread-sheet with all the particulars delivered right to your micro-screen on your Precious — I refer to your ever-clutched cellphone — what else could I mean?

Life in a Box Chapter 20

I’ll bet you know at least three people who have confessed to you that they think they may have lived in ancient Egypt.

Apart from the thousands or millions who are convinced they lived as Cleopatra, who lived a terrible and tragic life that nobody would deliberately walk into unless they were devoted to power and luxury, most of the returnees you’ll be likely to meet today will be online, including you.

That’s a tremendous advantage. In the very recent past, if you said you had lived before this life, you could be put away in Mother Johnson’s Home for the Criminally Bewildered.

Today, nobody thinks you’re crazy except the occasional Republican and, because they’re unbelievers in the Trump Virus, they’ll stick with the cluster of human beings they’re standing around with on the beach, waiting for the return of spring break.

Ah, humans of Planet Earth — you know I love ’em. They’re supposed to learn to cooperate and get along with each other, that’s the whole plan, and maybe the Trump Virus will do the trick, get them organized and tolerant of one another. Continue reading →

Godd Particle classes are being held every day online and in local centers.

The Godd™ Particle can be carried, held or worn in a totally passive manner. Just put it on and wear it and forget about it until you take it off when you get home.

If you want more out of it, you have to do something to make it happen.

Go ahead and insert the Godd™ Particle flash drive into the USB port of your laptop or Pc and invoke the “Bardotown” starter Orb. Continue reading →

Cedar Bar New York School celebrities showed up at my Cedar Bar Art Shows.

Depressed and discouraged?

Can’t find a way to make an honest living in Trumpland?

Nobody can. But you can turn your life around with a simple and basic understanding of the following Truth:

“It’s just as easy to make a million-dollar sale as it is to make a two-buck transaction.”

Hard to believe? For most folks, determined to be end-user suckers, it’s downright impossible to believe that it’s the same effort regardless of the money involved, but boy, is it ever true, and with a few simple $35,000 art sales under your belt, you’ll maybe come to believe.

It can take a lifetime to really learn that it isn’t the money, and most folks remain ignorant of this fact, and when they do happen to hear it, they simply don’t believe it, but it’s true, and some people have made millions knowing how to take advantage of this fact. Continue reading →

“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 →

Shutdown Victims MUST Read This!

I am a Shutdown Victim. I’m not a government worker, but I am a Shutdown Victim, and I’ll be only too happy to explain to you in detail how come I’m in this condition:

The First Vibration of the Ripple Effect came from the furloughed government workers, into the marketplace in a variety of ways, some directly — as in they didn’t buy goods this month because they don’t have the ready cash — and some indirectly, as in screwing up the market and buying sentiment of the consumer class, which is us.

Then we got the Second Vibration — the non-furloughed workers started freaking out because they were “Risking their lives and not getting paid for it”.

Hell, that describes my job in a nutshell. I never get paid for my work, but I don’t really have to get paid — I have an endless supply of Shakti-Pat, and that translates into money, in my world.

Of course, if you’re not living in the Western Realm, and you find yourself in a government job, which means these days, “working and not getting paid for it”, you still have to come up with money for food, gas, parking, migraine headache remedy, tips, spare change and more, not to mention the tons of alcoholic drinks you’ll need to toss down while at work, in order to be able to take the crap without actually snapping the boss’s head right off.

If you’re drunk, you’ll be all right. Continue reading →

I’m Back From the Front!

I’m back from the front, ready for more blogging, after a month’s vacation from blogging and writing in general, although I have written a few new Protest Songs, to insure that when they do eventually come for me, I’ll have a protest song ready for them.

Besides the development of Hot Popcorn Spices for our popcorn machine vending business, I’ve been extremely busy developing a new Practice, that of “Rockology” and “Stone Magic”, and I’ve got a bunch of goodies just for you, all under the auspices of “Brane-Power” at brane-power.com, where you’ll find all my Tools for Transformation.

Tonight, I’ll be working on the teaching methodology that goes along with the Practice, beginning with Mandala Magic Stones, the easiest to produce and the exercise providing the best beginning moves for the novice rock artist.

In the meanwhile, I’m also preparing for the big Studio Tour event that happens two weekends in a row, in the middle of this month of October, as is.

Featured in that particular annual art event will be Tom X., Kelly Rivera and E.J. Gold. That’s the total lineup, and that’s what we’ll exhibit — Kelly and I will host the event at ej gallery, and Tommy will be there for autographs & pictures, accessible through our FREE SuperBeacon setup and, yes, he really is available for contact, but he’s already busy with art projects and commissions at your Next Stop.

In fact, we’re all due there, in the not too distant future, and as Tom Lehrer says, “We Will All Go Together When We Go…” but in the meantime, Let’s Make a Buck!!! Continue reading →

Handling The Between-Customers-State

Practicing guitar is always an option. Play softly.

If you’re operating a shop, storefront, booth, kiosk or busking station, you’ll want to know what to do with those interminable waiting periods between customers, and there will be plenty of them, believe it.

Many retailers and service personnel lose a LOT of precious productivity, and when you own your own business and want to be your own boss — well, you’ll have a LOT of time on your hands.

If you’re ever in a department store where customers are not actually engaged in sales, you’ll see the salespeople adjusting things, dusting things, re-arranging things, pricing things — basically, doing something, anything, to appear busy.

It’s widely believed, and perhaps it’s true, that if customers see salespeople loafing about, they won’t buy a thing, which certainly matches my extensive experience in retail.

Heck-darn, when you’re talking Retail, you’re talking Planet Earth. Why, back home, we NEVER pay retail — nobody pays retail anywhere except here on Planet Earth.

Humans of Planet Earth are so ignorant, they call it “bartering”, not “bargaining”, when you make offers and counter-offers.

Bartering is where you trade a laying hen for a carpenter’s work fixing your wagon, and I don’t mean that figuratively at all. Continue reading →

RED HOT Popcorn!

Image result for carnival king 8 oz. popcorn machine

Here’s the machine we got for the shop! It’s a Carnival King 8 oz. popcorn popper, which is plenty enough production for the crowd we get, even in a street fair, which is rare enough that we can rent if we need something bigger and faster, which we presently don’t.

The idea is not so much “to sell popcorn” — although that might be a very good business thriving business in itself, just plain old popcorn, but we have an angle that makes our popcorn very different from all other popcorns.

It’s the spice.

Anyone who knows anything about Arrakis knows that spice is always at the bottom of any deal.

Popcorn is exempt from some local and regional and all federal food-handler licensing. Ben Franklin’s arts & crafts store has a big commercial popcorn machine in the front of the shop — they give away bags of popcorn to incoming customers, being careful to avoid serving them to those inevitable folks who show up every day for a bag of popcorn and quickly run out the door when they’ve got it.

You can’t afford to give away stuff forever, and at some point, you’ll learn to charge for it so you can keep doing your public service, thus fulfilling your Bodhisattva Vow, the one you took in a previous lifetime.

It’s time to settle that debt. Popcorn is a good beginning, spicy popcorn doubly so.

We sell our Zombie Family Red Hot Popcorn Spice in a special spice bottle, and we offer the spice in sample form, by sprinkling a generous amount of our incredibly hot “salsa caliente” on the hot salted or unsalted popcorn as it’s bagged up, and offer a fair special to take home, two bottles for only $25, which is a LOT of popcorn spice that could outlast the planet.

So how to turn this into a street hustle? Continue reading →

Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center with my painted “JazzArt” backdrops.

You can now buy almost any of my JazzArt backdrop paintings, even those used in performances with Nancy Wilson, Wynton Marsalis, Herbie Hancock and many more world-class jazz musicians in concert around the world.

My JazzArt paintings must be safe, out of the hands and reach of those who would burn all art work that isn’t about Donald Trump, and that will happen soon enough, much sooner than you think.

Book burnings and art burnings are only the start — eventually it’s people burnings, and that’s when we want to be clear away from the source of pain that is Trump and his Minions.

I’m doing everything I can to get these paintings out of the Untied Snakes of Arnica, so the prices are absurdly low. Continue reading →
