I gotta run to breakfast, but I stopped to put up this UNFINISHED piece — African Masks for Sale.
See You At The Top!!!

This Way to the Blessing Room
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
What if this were your Homepage?
Wow! If this were your homepage, you’d be home-free, because an exhibition right on your front page is going to draw people to it, and plenty of views will be the result!
You could explain your whole concept, exactly what it is you do, on your website homepage just by sticking a gallery into it, somewhat like this one, which explains the Bardo in easy-to-understand visual graphics.
You can add sound to it if you like, but I prefer not to do that unless there’s a compelling reason to have the sound.
In this case, there isn’t. Besides, what if you’re already listening to one of our albums, like “Hot Night in Hell” or “In Your Face” or “In Your Mother’s Face”. Continue reading
Title Added Later
Well, I made it up onto my feet and into my office last night, and spent several hours on this little offering from my backstores of .jpgs, of which I have many thousands.
I’m experimenting with what it looks like to view screenshots as well as photo, and of course objects versus flat art, that sort of thing.
So here’s my collection of Atlantean Selfies. I hope you enjoy it..
I hope you get some ideas from this thing. It took a total of about four hours to complete, in a cool, steady pace, staying on focus and just going one step at a time.
Patience is a virtue.
My idea is that you could take screenshots from anywhere and put them together into a virtual gallery package.
How about the Ashram?
See You At The Top!!!

2 more Exhibits Up!!!
That makes three in all — three exhibits in two days, I think that’s a record. The time is all absorbed in the uploads, but if you don’t throw huge files out there, it won’t be long, about three seconds for a small file.
So the first exhibit I built is the JazzArt show, in which I have about 1/100th of what I’ve painted for jazz performance backdrops and side panels for everything from Jazz at Lincoln Center all the way to the Hollywood Bowl.
In that first exhibit, I’ve placed actual pieces for sale, and on the two high walls, I’ve put photos of the events and some information about the performers and performances. Continue reading
My New Gallery is OPEN
I’ve put up an experimental gallery at kunstmatrix — they allow embedding into our website, but I not only don’t know how to do this, I haven’t a clue how to do it. In short, if it gets done, it’ll be by someone else.
So here’s the hot-link to see my new 3D virtual exhibit. I hope you like it, because it’s what you’re going to be doing for the next while, as well as promoting the things.
The thing is, absolutely anything can go into an exhibit hall like that, and they have tons of variations plus connecting halls and such. 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.
