Making t-shirts without sweating, mailing or refunding.

I have been studying http://www.cafepress.com/ for years and finally decided to try putting one thing on there, just out of curiosity. Abuelita's Cafepress page, please visit it and see my first product design. It is my fake Cuna Indian mola, from the Indians of the San Blas Islands off the coast of... Sign in to see full entry.

Wish I had trademarked the Beer Belly, sigh...

The Beer Belly will sell millions of its product and if I know my countrymen and women, it, like the redneck truck balls, will be our latest and greatest international cultural contribution to the masses, yearning to breathe free. Would you buy one of these silly things? Are you a college student?... Sign in to see full entry.

Designing bells and studying t-shirts at the Learning Annex.

I came back from the trade show with a group of bells to re-color and I think that they did look more 'sellable' than before. Then, I could not stop and kept designing more bells on paper, even tho' I had sent the real bells off to the artist who leaves soon for the factories in China. I will mail...

From the frontlines...Oasis Trade Show in Phoenix.

The trade show was moved from downtown Phoenix a few years ago while the city rebuilt its convention center. The show was moved to Glendale, Arizona, about twenty to thirty minutes north and west of downtown. Fewer people went there, as no one seems to like change in this country anymore. Each...

I was taking pictures of my latest paintings when my digi camera went black

The LCD screen went black. When I press menu, etc. it shows all of that stuff, but no photos. When I snap a picture, it gives me a black picture. NADA. I reread my darned camera book and fiddled with it for five hours last night. Changed out batteries and image cards and all that. Nada. I will go... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been studying cafepress all over the internet.

I am about to shut down half of my store on the internet, the half that I made for someone else and the half that no one uses. Useless real estate, the wholesale warehouse for American Legacy. You can see that the retail side has been shut down while I have been ill and gardening has made me believe... Sign in to see full entry.

Start your own live television channel. FREE

I just started my own television channel and as soon as I buy my video camera, I shall begin to interview artists around town here. It is still in BETA version, so channel names are still readily available. Grab one now and then work at it later....gomedome, majroj. You two have things to teach, as... Sign in to see full entry.

2 more paintings sold and so, I delivered 3 more to the store.

I tell myself to get back to the clay and I must, but, the paintings keep bringing in the money and it is hard to fight success. Starving artists follow the money.... I finished another painting of a Guatemalan mother from behind, woven turban and pom poms and a woven and embroidered blouse in every... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

They tell you that you can make millions doing this or that and you think, "Well, I sure would like to, but...." I'm not out to make millions, just considering this a class on how to increase my income, as I am too poor to blog about poverty, it just IS my life. So, here goes and What Do I Know? Not much, so let's all watch me stumble and fall and get back up and learn and see just what grade I get at the end of this course, okay?
