In the spirit of a rest-room at a bus, train or airplane terminal, here’s a blessing room for anyone to stop in for a moment and get Blessed.
It’s as simple as that, and it only takes literally a second. Continue reading
“The Movements a Short History” is on Exhibit NOW!
Actually, you don’t have to drive anywhere to see the Movements exhibit — actually, it’s right here at the touch of a button. Go ahead, touch it.
The exhibit shows only a few of the many vintage photos we’re adding into the Movements Book, which is very close to completion, very very close!!!
There are several of us working on it all at once, making it almost inevitable that there will be some misteaks made here and their.
Ignore them and they will eventually seem normal. Continue reading
I took the Mixed Media exhibition offline and fitted it out with a bunch of sorta 3D sculptures.
They look okay, at least for an introduction. There’s nothing like the personal experience personally experienced of going into the orb and walking around and under the sculpture, and in some cases, actually climbing it to the highest point — it is possible, when the sculpture is built correctly.
There are a number of sculptures in the grand hall exhibition orb, and they’re almost all at least somewhat climbable.
It’s really quite simple to achieve a 3D object effect, although it’s actually a “flattie” that turns with the viewer, but it does get the idea across. Continue reading
Works on Paper
Well, I’ve finally gotten up the works on paper gallery, with actual lithos and serigraphs offered for sale, mostly made in 1987, the lithos on one of our antique printing presses, the other created in silkscreen, also known as serigraphs.
The serigraphs used to sell very high, but I reduced the prices so that all the vintage prints would be at the same price, $375.00 retail.
Of course, you get a discount — a very big discount — allowing you to easily resell them at below retail, giving your customers an edge as well. Continue reading
Post Roe Rundown
Jotting down a few notes for this post-Roe world, the first item on the list being Roe v Wade — the absence of a period following “v” is intentional — USC Title 18 is my favorite book.
Roe v Wade has long been a Red Line between the Yanks and the Rebs, and this is not the deepest divide between the Union and the Second Confederacy — its first President will be its last, when the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans parachute in, a la “Red Dawn”.
Yes, it’s Civil War II, or Civil War III if you count the failed coup, and this time it will not be fought BETWEEN the states, so much as WITHIN the states, neighbor against neighbor, brother against sister, children against children.
Emerging from this conflict will be three separate countries — Atlantica, Pacifica and, in the middle, “Trumpland”, which will be immediately renamed after he passes, but the effect will be the same — unrelenting racism. anti-semitism, anti-socialism, anti-liberalism and, of course, mysogyny.
Note the root of the word “mysogyny” — it’s “gyne”, referring to the uterus, or womb. It’s men who are afraid of the womb, and rightly so, but both men and women are behind this bloodless coup staged by the Republicans, because many women are bound to a powerful and cruel religious belief system.

At the End of the Rainbow
You know what’s at the end of the rainbow — a pot of gold. That’s a brutal way of making reference to my somewhat large tummy, but it rivets the point — we’re a long way from marketing high-end fine art.
What we need is a New York Gallery to accept my work, and for a couple dozen museum curators to competitively bid to acquire some of my works for their collections.
Not much to ask. Continue reading

Redbubble Fashions
Classic Tee — $37.76 all sizes
I’m going to take a bit of a break from zazzle in order to orient you on another outlet that allows you to become a manufacturer, just like zazzle, except that the items can be found by both subject and design.
For instance, this design that you’re looking at right now appears on 78 different objects in my catalog, and there are hundreds more in there with other designs. Continue reading
My Little JazzArt Collection
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
