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!!!
