You can take a tour on the Titan for FREE, just by showing up, but enough about cruises on a fabulous yacht that I bought for under $50.00, let’s take a look at the incredible tee-shirt collection I’ve made. You can peruse it merely by clicking on the hot-link below:
Of course, we mustn’t neglect the tank-top department:
Yes, it’s getting to be THAT TIME again, when the sirens of the world will wail out “Take Cover”, but there is no cover for nuclear, and there’s no cure for “Stupid”.
So while we’re waiting for that final “All Clear” signal, let’s engage ourselves in some worthy work, along the “Blessings” line. My stuff is made to carry Blessings. If it can’t carry Blessings, I don’t use it, sell it or recommend it, and that includes you-know-what.
Those of you who don’t know what are already Blessed.
I had the idea that we could develop a line of badges that represented various ideas, something for my “ClickBait” collection on zazzle. Continue reading
It’s the new internet game show, “Can You Sell This???” The game tonight is to meet the marketing challenge on this page — that means to try to sell everything on the page at full retail. Ready to begin?
The way it works is you grab a screenshot of the items you want to sell, and use those screenshots to sell the item, maybe on your web page or social media outlet — don’t forget to mark it up double, to get your full retail.
This is a way that you can use a multi-million dollar inventory without putting a single penny out of pocket, and you can start your own online gift shop this way, without having to spend anything to get started, and you’ll have hundreds of items on the virtual shelves!
Here’s a two-inch square “Empty Classified Document Folder” button you ought to be able to sell at $5.99 retail, and for a while, everybody will know what your button means. After that, it’ll be a collectible. If you get into a jam and you need some extra cash, you might sell the button to the highest bidder.
What I’m wondering about most this morning is, can I discover anything that a lot of people would like to buy at a comfortably low price? I don’t care to make money from it, just a lot of participation, that’s my goal, and I’m not looking for followers or subscribers, just a single simple participation, that’s all.
So what would it be that I could produce cheaply, and how would I — with no money and no influence and no social register whatever — get it in front of the faces of millions of eager buyers? Continue reading
It used to be that you’d paint something, put a frame around it and sell it either at a street fair or — if you were lucky and had a following — in a gallery.
The thing is, unless it was a co-op gallery, where the artists take turns running the store and each artist has a small area for display, you only got one show about every three years, so the gallery didn’t burn up its territory, meaning that the sales got fewer and fewer over the months, and then finally dried up altogether.
You have to move to a different town until you wear out your welcome there, too, and that’s why artists don’t stay in one place forever unless they do local landscapes. Continue reading
If you’re a stock clerk or on floor sales or you’re a buyer or an assistant buyer, it’s important — vital, actually — that you should be more or less constantly aware of ALL the currently stored and shelved merchandise, and I mean the ENTIRE line of merchandise.
Of course, in this age of automation and e-gadgets, nobody does that anymore. You simply enter the code or name or description of the thing, and you get a spread-sheet with all the particulars delivered right to your micro-screen on your Precious — I refer to your ever-clutched cellphone — what else could I mean? Continue reading
It seems as if there’s never enough rope, and that goes double for paper clips and rubber bands, and that’s just the way it’s been for thousands and thousands of your years.
I have about a thousand tapestries up for sale, mostly under $100, and I’ll show some of them at this morning’s zoom meeting, if time and space allow.
Been keeping busy on Zazzle, which I find to be a very artist-friendly neighborhood in which to practice the art of making art into art.
In the old days, all you could hope for was to translate your paintings into prints, and it was impossible to avoid the obvious money-maker — portraits of people and pets.
If you don’t want to paint cute paintings for the rest of your life, learn how to adapt your artwork to product.
There’s the ART — that’s Position #1, and then there’s the PRODUCT, Position #2, that thing upon which the art has been skillfully draped.
It’s only halfway in the production of art if it’s only your original — you need to spread it on some toast and see if it jellies, dig it?
So paste some artwork onto the pages of Redbubble and see what develops. I think you’ll be happily surprised to see how amazingly your artwork can turn out when it’s been draped onto a usable wearable product!
Don’t go crazy with this — just try one single image, and see what happens to it. The things that don’t work, generally don’t show up, automatically.
You can hide the things that didn’t work out — they won’t amount to much, once you get the idea of how to work with images on something other than paper or canvas.
See You At The Top!!!

My Dad, Horace L. Gold, was a famous comic-book writer who wrote the Jor-El Krypton Superman’s Origin story for Siegel and Schuster, and what’s more, he had an office at Action Comics immediately postwar.
He was a published author who specialized in fantasy and some science fiction, but also wrote for the pulps, which he covers neatly in his short autobiography, “Gold on Gold”.
His life was simple — it revolved around his typewriter and his constant cup of tea and a continual chain of cigarette smoke. Continue reading
click here to see the stuff associated with the game. I haven’t yet made or listed the other parts, such as player pieces, chance cards, tax cards, rental cards and more.
There’s a whole bunch of parts for the Atlantis game ready to go to the game maker, but I’ve never actually gotten all the parts and put one together, so I don’t know how much it comes to in the end, but I’m willing to find out, if someone wants to help fund the prototype game — I have no idea what that will cost, but the table is a couple hundred bucks just as it is, no pieces, no cards.
I do also have other sizes of gameboards available, but this is the most generous for table-top space. Most are much smaller, and therefore harder to play, I would think, but I could be wrong. Continue reading
CHORUS
Q-Anon is Out There, and I need help now.
Better red than dead, and I need help now.
Gotta get help right now! Help right now! Help right now!
There’s a hundred million MAGA zombies after you and me.
One lump of trash is how they’ll set us free.
CHORUS
If the Magas come to get you and you need help now,
Call me in the morning, and I’ll show you how.
I will surely show you how!
REPEAT CHORUS
See You At The Top!!!
