Forbes: Artist Power by Missy Sullivan -Best of The Web, 05.22.00

Photographer Frank Jump documents vintage ads on the sides of old New York buildings. He knows that little-known artists like himself need somewhere public to display their wares. They need dealers. Lotsa luck. While there’s no hard data, industry experts estimate that only about 5%-10% of artists nationally are represented by galleries. And those that are, regularly surrender 50%–or more–of the sales price.

Jump wasn’t exactly chased by dealers. So he took his stuff to the Internet. Log on to Frankjump.com, and you can see his work, e-mail him questions about it and buy it if it interests you.

“The site has acted as my press agent,” Jump says. It didn’t hurt that it was chosen as a Yahoo site of the week in early 1999. He’s now listed on nearly 80 search engines worldwide. – Missy Sullivan, Forbes Magazine

After All, God Says Consuming It Is An Abomination - CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO ARTICLE - by Bridgette P. LaVictoire- 11/04/09

I’ll add California wine and ANYTHING owned by the Mormons. Andrew Adam Caldwell said on Facebook: If we are serious about marriage equality, all “domestic partners” should figure out exactly what dollar-amount of benefits they are losing out on in federal benefits (and in non-gay-marriage/DP states–state benefits) and then REFUSE TO PAY exactly that amount in federal (and state/local) taxes. Don’t refuse to pay ALL taxes, simply deduct the amount we are denied. Call it out as taxation without representation.
