hello mopolopians - Ive been in deep concentration and reflection ..
Like I went to Dagohbah....
1st ..I have been on a creative urge flow.. as I became so feared of
going broke.. I started making stuff....
Its funny how fear can motivate the creative juices... so Ive made like
4 Zoetropes and like 3 Movie Cameras that ere reproductions of 35 hand
cranks....
Ive sold one to Portugal and one to a new York theatre recently and the
Zoetropes have sold to a wide variety of people... Like a Prof at
Dartmouth College..
They seem to appeal to Phisics Proffessore and Visual artists and cinema
Buffs.
The other day I received a call for a 16mm project and then some poster
all needed to be 1989 vintage..
As I was looking I opened a Box of Posters and here where TWO signed
Drew Struzan Posters of episode one Star wars I forgot I had.. Plus
episode one original mexican/ spanis and also some other episode one
and some german reprints of the trilogy and the medallion posters..
When my son and I went to Denver at the Star wars celebration back in I
think 96-97?
I was admireing Drews work he did on TV Guide and said " I love this
Guys work" when someone behind me started to laugh and Giggle..... I
turned around... It was Drew Struzan !!! so we talked and then I
bought four posters and he signed them in silver paint pen.... I remeber
selling the two but didnt remember saving the others... anyway it was a
fun surprise... and I think my son wants one ...
So one may be for sale..
I have many things we had signed Like a Ghostbuster 2 one sheet that the
entire cast signed to Hollywood dream fcatory ® as my friend Peter had a
part in the film, we had sold him a ecto one ambulance that he used in
NYC as a prop car and rebted then moved to La and rented it for kids
birthdays then sold to Kenner for 30K and it was shipped to south
america to be used for promotions...
To think its started in Toledo??
everyone siged the poster but Sigorney weaver.
I have some posters signed by Forrey ackerman .... and some other stuff...
also about all the bickering on linenbackers and dealers and auction
houses.... Life is short....
Ive made mistakes and goofed up so has about everyone ive known as life
throws some real curves at times...
so It would be cool to see everyone talk about the others kindly for a
week or so...
Ill start.... I think Freeman Fisher and Claude litton and Rich
Halguage are very Funny...
so is Heim and andrea and Toochis is a Mystery to me... whoever she
is..... jeff Potaker is a funny person..
Roger Kim is Robotic and yest sensitive... JR and PJ angel are good
guys... Lineback leiberman , and all the others make some great posts as
does Rix and other the cast of character on Mopo
Times are tough... yet Ive seen a new outlook appearing from people as
the economy is touching all.
we can start on Mopo by helping our group and all wish the best for
Heritage and all the dealers on here
so I wish all of you and familys well.
AMISH phone call...... yes I received a call from a amish man..... I met
a family of amish that was shopping in a goodwill store... and I
approached them and they were kind... I said I would like to use Amish
to make wood items for me... they were SWISS? German Amish.... and I
said wowow! I lover German swiss craftsman... well they took my card...
and like a month later I get a call from AMOS... he said we wanted to
thank you for the compliments..
I said your people had a calm a sense of honesty and integrity I dont
see any more and it made me feel calm
like I was in the midst of honest people withhout any deceptive agenda...
well he said that it .. I have 5 kids and i want to take care of my
family... I said Great... then he said come nvists us and my mom will
bake yoou a cherry Pie.... see they dont use electric.. they use horses
to run a transmission that runs belts to operate the woodworking gear.
Anyways I will go visit the amish this month and see how they live and
work... But they seem like very cool people and i know they make great
woodworking and other items
For me the fact that they are slowing down to a simple life is a very
very soothing experiance.
All the cuurent fast pace is what has made the economy and society Nuts
because 90% of what has happened was based on deception in advertising,
in healthcare, in Banking, in Cars and products...
If we return to careing about the entire planet of people Not just the
higher bracket... we will heal nations and
people and the economy/// IMHO
The world as I see is telling us to get it together and I think we all
sense it.
so lets start here and hop that heritage and the restorers and all
persons on list can find peace and some balance in the world we live in
Tom
