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 →

EJ Gold New Graphics — Graphite Miniature Landscapes

LITHOGRAPH -- "Farm at Land's End, Pennsylvania", Plate Signed & Dated — LITHOGRAPH — “Farm at Land’s End, Pennsylvania”, Signed & Dated in the Plate

Farm at Land’s End, Pennsylvania is an exercise in light and dark, as well as the translation of “still-life” techniques into Plein-Aire style, with the emphasis on shape, form, mass and composition. Patchy sunlight, silhouetted tree-line, rolling soil and rounded silo with ladders and side-detail, highlighted thatched roofing on the house, soft late-afternoon back-lighting and shadows along the fence-line and banked ditch along the roadside make this a very ambitious drawing project.

GRAPHITE LITHOGRAPHIC STYLE MINIATURE LANDSCAPES — $25 each. Yes, that is the wholesale price, no discount for quantity, because there’s a lot of cost behind each print, and we don’t control the printing costs, the printers do. The originals were created in graphite on Heavyweight 300 gram Arches Rives BFK etching paper, and were massaged into prints by Marvette, who matched the prints with the originals. In a frame, you can’t tell the difference between the print and the original. My original graphite works are no longer for sale, prints only. Continue reading →

21st Century Landscape Etchings

Scrimshaw Etching of a fisherman’s house, “Parson Jackson’s Hole”, signed & dated in the plate.

I’m releasing my version of 21st century etchings with a series of reproductions of my latest most recent etchings produced here at my atelier. These will be printed on high-grade photo paper to get ALL the nuances of the originals, without the danger of them being used as counterfeits — the back clearly reads “photo paper”.

The print itself is $25, a fair price for a signed-and-dated-in-the-plate graphic multiple, if my memory of the art market serves me right. I will float-mount your print in a double mat board, and mount it for you in one of my finest museum-grade heavyweight 6″ wide hand-carved gilded hardwood frames for an additional $650, or in a lightweight custom frame at only $125 for the entire framing job — both framing jobs do not include the cost of the artwork — I have to pay folks to do these jobs, and fair wages is fair wages. It isn’t easy to frame a work of art — both Robbert and I have done it, at the rate of hundreds of pieces a week, and believe it, the pay is scarcely enough to cover the personal cost.

Drawing with E.J. Gold

You can order a LIMITED EDITION print on handmade 17th century type “Dover” paper, made for 400 years by an unbroken line of family paper-makers. The paper is valued at $150 a full sheet at today’s rare paper market prices, and was $30 a sheet wholesale back in 1987, when it was obtained from the factory in England where it had been made many years earlier.
