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

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , ,

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?

Uncategorized, , , , , ,

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

Uncategorized

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!!!

Uncategorized
This has nothing to do with the blog, just a smile for today.

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

Uncategorized,
Wynton Marsalis with JazzArt Publicist Bev Korenwasser, 2016.

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.

see the exhibit

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

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,
I own this coin! PCGS slabbed, includes book, $1.2 million dollars.

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.

Boy, is it hot!!!

Uncategorized, ,
I’m bringing out a great WWIII fashion line — be there for it!

The temperature outside is over 100 degrees as we go into evening, and the wall thermometer in my bedroom reads “90 Degrees” — the air-conditioner seems to have crapped out.

So here I am at my desk in my office, where the air is somewhat cooler, but now I’m faced with the fact that I’m tired, but there’s nowhere to lie down where it’s cool.

You probably face a similar situation, if the temperature is abnormally hot tonight where you are, but none of this compares with the news tonight, that Roe was overturned.

That amounts to a declaration of war, and the division between red states and blue states can only be deepened. What that means for you is, prepare to try to avoid open conflict — at least try to stay away from the roving gangs and the inevitable storm troopers. Continue reading →

At the End of the Rainbow

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

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 →
