For many, this might seem to be a silly question, but to the homeless it's not commonly known. When I first heard about this I thought, "Wow, this could actually lift a lot of people off the floor of poverty" - possibly more money than many have ever seen. So I made the following flyer to let people know.
If you'd like to help, I've included a printable PDF on Scribd below. The deadline for registration for Covid Stimulus money is October 15th. All anyone needs is a name, Social Security Number and an address for the check.
Please make sure as many of our less fortunate friends know. You could save a life:)

So, here's a thought on the non-profit world: Why can't social entrepreneurships develop profit making businesses? Or, more plainly, why can't they get society to support them if they are indeed 'socially relevant'?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: helveticaneue;">

<br />
<a href="http://kickstart.org/" target="_blank">Kickstart</a>, an NGO in Africa, found that selling, at a very low cost, water pumps to farmers, produced a 'responsibility' amongst citizens to not only care for their work, but their equipment - instead of just giving them another free one when the old one broke.<br />
<br /></div>

So where do their operating expenses come from?<br />

Wow. I haven't posted in almost a year. But what a year it's been. A year that has seen us grow to five years old on the High Line. I can't thank every single contributor and painter enough for making #iThinkOutsideMyBox a <a href="http://chelseanow.com/2016/10/public-art-projects-activist-roots-expand-beyond-the-box/" target="_blank">global community institution in Chelsea</a>. Five years. 20,000+ paintings from more than 100 countries and a vibrant future in store. Freedom of speech and expression live.</div>

Please join us on 24 September, 17, on the High Line @ 22nd St. from 2pm - 9 for our fifth anniversary exhibition. We'll be showing five years of curated public art, two gallery structures, as well as three communally created sculptures, along with the music from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/matthew.christian" target="_blank">Matthew Christian</a> on violin, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lawrence.wilson.1029" target="_blank">Lawrence Wilson</a>, on bass and Rob Allen on guitar, so far.. We'll also be shooting film and photographs all day, so plan on multi-media fun, and maybe a picnic:) I hope to see you there:)</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Over these past four years I've worked very hard to both, keep the activity accessible to all and also to guarantee the concept's sustainability. This means growing the idea as a business, while remaining a non-profit entity. To that end we are now focusing on our work outside the park to build ourselves into the kind of organization that can reach multiple levels of the community, while remaining primarily self supporting. Should you work in the non-profit or NGO space, education, museums, corporate creative growth or publishing, please take a look at our offerings below.

This week sees us off to the Jersey Shore for the <a href="http://njteenarts.com/" target="_blank">New Jersey State Teen Arts Festival</a> at Ocean County College - Three days of dance, art, music, theatre, photos, film and fun. Last summer we did Seton Hall University, so it now looks like we spend our summers in Jersey:) Maybe I'll head over to Asbury Park this year and see if I can find The Boss:)</div>

The one thing I wish I could change about these events is that I'd love to see the other presenters activities and do a bit of learning too:) But as it is, we're booked solid for the whole time so I'll miss Modern Dance, Musical Theatre, Chinese Brush Strokes, Film and Video and what sounds to be a great seminar on getting a job in the creative arts.</div>

Not so easy is it? And in America, a country who's founders felt so strongly about the idea that it became the First Amendment to our constitution, we now find ourselves not teaching it in schools - as arts and music programs disappear facing budget shortfalls - leaving the concept an obtuse philosophical theory with little no practical application. And whilst the <a href="http://www.humanrights.com/what-are-human-rights/videos/freedom-of-expression.html" target="_blank">United Nations</a> and NGOs like George Soros' <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/voices/free-speech-debate-needs-you" target="_blank">Open Society Foundation</a> expound at length on this fundamental <i>human right, </i>through any number of societal and diplomatic channels, these programs are aimed primarily at developing countries and nations under siege from oppressive dictatorships or worse, mired in armed conflicts with the right to speak freely becoming a matter of life or death. </div>

But here, in America at least, with frightening billions of dollars spent on <i>defense</i> of our supposed freedoms, we seem to have conveniently forgotten about this one. As free as air, or water should be - now relegated to the basement of first world consciousness because - maybe we don't need it.

<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>That's where <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.com/" target="_blank">#iThinkOutsideMyBox</a> came in,</b></span> as a protest communication vehicle at Occupy Wall Street, standing (or sitting in my case) in the line of fire as thousands of armed police, police in tactical riot gear, even police on horseback arrested over 3500 of us, many violently, for exercising our human rights, our constitutional rights, to speak our peace to what we believed was becoming a tyrannical government. It was an electric time and in the midst of all that, a simple cardboard box became a metaphor for me, in one sense a shelter and in another, a kind of soapbox for me to graphically air our collective grievances by painting slogans on a box. "The phrase "I Think Outside My Box" symbolized the thought of trying to come up with better ideas for a society that had become systematically disenfranchised from the bailing out of financial institutions without regard to human cost.<br />

As a casualty, but not wanting to play the victim, I put words and art into action and next, I was in the Wall Street Journal. First, for calling out Wall Street, and second, for being a very interesting photo, a guy who looks like he could be working on Wall Street, sitting in that box. Activist performance art. But after becoming an Internet meme for a week, a funny thing started to happen; people began to ask me if they could paint too. An there, the public studio was born. A place where anyone could paint and express themselves in public - something defiantly peaceful and fun.<br />

In the beginning I thought it was something to keep me busy and bring in a little income as I looked to find my way back to the advertising business. But now I realize that it is much more than that. It is a chance to do what artist <a href="http://gapingvoid.com/" target="_blank">Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid.com</a> laments above might not ever be a possibility for anyone working in corporate America. It's a chance to change the world, for the better, just a little each day. By letting you change the world, just a little each day, with a new idea, remembered as a painting.<br />

<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />20,000+ paintings and counting, and over three seasons we've seen not only themes emerge but individual and collective stories that start to paint a picture of humankind unlike any seen on mainstream media or even documented by any art museum. Because these artworks are from the heart, from the gut, of a global constituency that comes together to voice themselves into history by exercising their freedom to create.<br />

My selections for 2015 are not my personal favorites, rather they are a reflection of the trends that run throughout the planet and permeate the virtual skin of society on any number of levels. They are the epitome of Public Art. Art created by the public - not art selected by art administrators for the public to consume.<br />

Please. Don't be the fat man wrestling with the old lady for the flat screen TV I've seen on the news reports. Stay home. Relax. Buy a print. And avoid Black Friday. Today we're clearing out last year's prints and making room for a new Holiday issue. But not until the old ones find homes. All 3"X3" on acid-free water colour paper and ready to drop into a standard 8"X10" frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marked down to $20 and $10, these prints are overruns of original issues in 2014 that sold for $50 each. Add $5 for shipping and handling in the US and $15 for International. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To order, simply select your design, combine price and shipping and then click the PayPal 'Donate' button in the lefthand side bar. Add your address to the message section in PayPal and your order will be shipped before December with plenty of time before the holidays. </div>

For those of you who have painted at #iThinkOutsideMyBox in the evenings, especially near sunset, you know how magical the atmosphere can be. Add candles, the right music, an appetizer of your choice and the entire exhibit to yourself and you've got the start of a great night out before a show, a full dinner or clubbing in Chelsea. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So is art original? Or must it be original to be considered art? Not according to <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #58595b; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><a href="http://whitecube.com/artists/damin_ortega/" target="_blank">Damián Ortega</a></span> in his showing on the <a href="http://art.thehighline.org/" target="_blank">High Line</a>. His work, bent rebar adaptations of graffiti tags, solidly steals the tags themselves from city walls, created by urban youth, and 'appropriates' it as art, not having the gonads for him to have tagged it in the first place.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="font-family: inherit;">Appropriate</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is the art world's way of saying that stealing is ok, or more nicely, borrowing – so that in this case, the original creator gets nothing, no support, whilst Mr. Ortega becomes the benefactor of the High Line curator's budget through, partially, the National Endowment for the arts and a showing in a more than public place - not an ally, like the </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">original</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> artist did. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But is it art? If a curator says it is, it becomes - not the work of the original artist, but the work of an adaptor making it acceptable to a wealthy, white people dominated scene of 'art'. It is, essentially, </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">'what that artist was able to get away with' - </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">but in this case, with a curator's blessing. And so he/she profits from this art, but the originator does not - making appropriation the art instead of creation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">And so what of our work. Is it art? We work in freedom of expression as opposed to art. As I explain often, the making of the work is a social exercise with art as the medium. Should art happen, it's a bonus. Or as Marshall McLuhan said, many years ago:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The business of art is no longer the communication of thoughts or feelings which are to be conceptually ordered, but a direct participation in an experience. </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The whole tendency of modern communication...is towards participation in a process, rather than apprehension of concepts."*</span></b></div>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thank you Mr. McLuhan. At that, we'll be art.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">David Everitt-Carlson has engaged in a creative career his entire life, first as an actor in his teens, then to director, singer, sign painter, newspaper editor, graphic designer, filmmaker, journalist, executive creative director, Vice President, entrepreneur, CEO, founder, professor, public speaker, mentor, motivator, consultant, author, activist and social organizer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All of which have made him an unusually effective creative leader. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a New York native with a degree in Corporate Communications, he was featured early in his career in the New York Art Directors Show for both writing and design and began a creatively ambidextrous path of award-winning work with agencies such as The Richards Group/Dallas, Bozell/Dallas, Earle Palmer Brown/Wash D.C. and Leo Burnett/Chicago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His work for American Airlines ran on the Super Bowl and garnered four CLIOs shortlisted, followed by four more the following year for work on Marriott. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moving to Leo Burnett to produce award winning work for Miller Brewing, Nintendo, Sony & Kellogg’s, he was named VP/Creative Director in 92 and moved to Seoul, Korea in 95 as VP/Chief Creative Officer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Following Burnett he founded Korea’s first 100% foreign invested advertising agency, CarlsonCreative, Inc, in Seoul in 1997. with clients, the Korean Ministry of Finance, Samsung, LG, Hyundai and British American Tobacco. The company was sold in 2003. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moving to Vietnam, David founded aSaigon/CreativeMorning, as a monthly speaker series bringing world-class creative thought leaders to Southeast Asia. Working also as a journalist he penned daily and monthly columns for The Morton Report and East & West Magazine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Returning to the US in 2011, saw the birth of the iThinkOutsideMyBox™ concept, a public studio and gallery that reimagines the idea of public art by <i>engaging the public to make the art℠.
</i>Featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Huffington Post, New York Daily News, Gothamist, and hundreds of international blogs, TV and radio shows, #iThinkOutsideMyBox has since become a global phenomenon and the world’s largest collection of publicly painted work at over 20,000 paintings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Currently living in Manhattan and leading DEC Communications, David Everitt-Carlson is available on a consulting basis for corporate communications work, including creative staff motivation and campaign direction, and regularly engages the iThinkOutsideMyBox™ project with schools, museums, universities and non-profits.</span><br />

"What a great idea!", is an exclamation I hear daily at <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.com/" target="_blank">#iThinkOutsideMyBox</a> if not many times a day and I immediately return, "If you like this idea, please support us", because in America it's not a great idea unless it makes money. And I don't say that in jest. Because it's true.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Edison may have good ideas, and a lot of them, as he often advised, but he didn't make any money off the ideas themselves. He made money off the products they spawned. The phonograph, the lightbulb, et al. He produced and licensed applications of his ideas, under patent, which made him money. Walt Disney didn't make any money off Mickey Mouse nor Spielberg from E.T. They both made money from the production and distribution of those ideas in film form.</div>

Let's take song writing, for instance. If you write a song there are two kinds of ideas at work. The musical notation and the lyrics. Both of these are covered by songwriting copyright but for a writer to be paid, they must have the song 'published' by a music label and sell the song. For each copy of that song, the writer will be paid <a href="https://www.quora.com/How-much-do-top-pop-songwriters-generally-get-paid-for-a-song" target="_blank">$0.091</a> per copy. That's less than 1%. But if a ten song album album sells a million copies, that's $91,000 to the songwriter plus other royalties such as performance and other paid presentation fees if the song is popular.<br />

That's a little better than 2%. But she does very well considering her string of hit songs and albums. 2% of that purse is worth a lot more than 10% of a much smaller one.

So let's look at a smaller purse. The invention company, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/technology/quirky-tests-the-crowd-based-creative-process.html" target="_blank">Quirky</a>, crowdsources ideas for primarily consumer products. One of their big hits is a flexible electric power strip that accommodates bulky power supply plugs. It's quirky. And its inventor has made roughly $700,000 off his idea in the last few years – but that comes from less than 10% of the profit from the device as the New York Times illustrates. "<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 23px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/technology/quirky-tests-the-crowd-based-creative-process.html" target="_blank">For its hard work, Quirky takes 90 cents of each dollar of product sales. The other 10 cents is distributed among the inventor community. The person who came up with the product idea typically pockets 4 cents of that. Lesser shares go for contributions like enhancing the idea, choosing the price or coming up with the name".</a></span></span><br />

So how much is <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.com/" target="_blank">#iThinkOutsideMyBox</a> worth as an idea? Presents an interesting challenge doesn't it? The idea that anyone can paint and that painting becomes part of an ever evolving global social fabric borne of self expression. Fascinating. People love it at first sight. But what's the product? Experience? Sharing? Communication? Therapy? Architecture? Social Involvement? Or, all of the above – which I believe is probably the best answer. And why do people think it's a great idea, if it's not something that produces a product that can be monetized?<br />
<br />
And what is that idea worth to them?<br />
<br />
This always brings me to my own question of, "Can <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.com/" target="_blank">#iThinkOutsideMyBox</a> support itself?" – and in turn support me, its creator? At $3,365 a month for an apartment (the average rental in NYC) and living cost beyond? A six-figure salary? <a href="http://www.acronymfinder.com/Cost-Of-Business-%28COB%29.html" target="_blank">COB</a>? Is the idea worth that much? Or more?<br />
<br />
Because those are the questions one must ask of oneself when they are told literally every day that they have a "Genius idea" – because, in America, you're not a genius, unless your idea, or other ideas you have, are paying the bills – and lots of them. And so 2015 has become the year we focus on the business of the project and strive to make this a viable, profitable, non-profit.<br />
<br />
Currently our income streams are from primarily on-site donations, followed by <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.blogspot.com/p/shopping-cart.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Print Sales</b></span> </a>and <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.blogspot.com/p/bookings.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Special Bookings</b></span></a>.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember, any image you see on this site can be ordered as a fine art print, or go to our store for the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.blogspot.com/p/shopping-cart.html" target="_blank">Top 10</a></b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

To think outside the box. A cliché for sure. Because most of the people who tell you to think that way have no idea how to do it themselves.<br />
<br />
Google "think outside the box" and you'll find the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking_outside_the_box" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> entry at #1 and a number of less significant explanations following. But the Wiki entry pretty much summarizes what we think we know about the phrase – that it grew out of a management consultant's application of a one hundred year old puzzle involving a pictorial box – <i>connect the dots using just four straight lines.</i> See exhibit "A". This drawing is considered your "box".<br />
<br />
But I had never meant to refer to this box at all. When I appropriated the idiom for <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.com/" target="_blank">iThinkOutsideMyBox™</a>, the box was metaphorical – a box full of education, religion, citizenship, morality, spirituality and subsequent beliefs – a magical box – your box of thoughts. Or as one young painter gamely stated, "The box is your brain".<br />
<br />
But there would present itself a conundrum: How can one think outside one's box when that box has been prescribed and constructed by all the people we know in real life – primarily the people we respect? Teachers, preachers, parents, et al. Doesn't that present a conflict? Doesn't it mean going against all we know?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

And so the work around is to make the box disappear – at least temporarily, by presenting an opportunity that seems attractive, yet is so outside one's normal activity that it makes no sense to do it in the first place – thus making perfect sense.<br />
<br />
That way, whenever anyone sits down with us in a park, or a subway concourse to paint, they've already started thinking outside their box. Voilà. I don't have to teach them a thing because they've already made a conscious decision to do it anyway – just by joining us. After that, the actual paintings are a lot less important than the activity itself. Inside of a little 3"X3" square of cardboard, I've seen people paint the thumbnails of their futures, the promises of their love, the optimism in their work that was impossible to communicate in memo form, or just the feeling of the moment unsung.<br />

Later this summer I'll be channeling <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.com/" target="_blank">#iTOMB</a> at a <a href="http://www.southbysouthorange.org/seminar/creative-midway/" target="_blank">creative festival</a> which will also include a <a href="http://soe.unc.edu/fac_research/faculty/sawyer.php" target="_blank">professor of Psychology</a> focused on creativity, a <a href="https://www.shu.edu/academics/profiles/faculty/431439" target="_blank">neuroscientist</a> who brain images creative activity, a best-selling <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Coupland" target="_blank">author</a> who defined a generation, as well as the <a href="http://www.alzpoetry.com/about/" target="_blank">founder</a> of the Alzheimers Poetry Project and others – a wildly disparate creative group.<br />
<br />
And we will all be bringing a box – a box with a gift inside. The gift to think outside of our own disciplines and see what the others have brought to the party:)</div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;">"Today I took a moment to step out of my box and paint where the artist paints. And it became a breath of fresh air, something from my regular norm. You see, I could have been busy just passing by, but my curiosity took me... viewing the collective art of "iThinkOutsideMyBox" and then painting... it created a moment for me. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;">Once I started to paint, eventually others then came around to paint or view instead of simply passing by or remaining distant onlookers.
One took a moment out of her life to paint. Before and after, another was engaged and smiling about this art. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;">We were all vibrant participants, brush stokes on this canvas of life called 14th street New York lobby area of the 8th ave subway. We all took a breath together, breathing in life and exhaling the breeze now made easier through this refreshment of art.
Our marks will be left there. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #a64d79;">Just as David is leaving his mark by not allowing life to define him, but defining life through art." </span></div>

I spend my days awash in compliments – awash in comments like this. And then some days take home $10 or even less. There's the photographer who spends 40 minutes painting and discussing art who leaves 12 cents - and yet she regards herself as an artist as well and wants to be paid for her work. Everyone compliments me. Some even congratulate me. Still, I have no idea what that really means. Congratulations? For what? "What a great idea!", they say. But is it really a great idea if it can't support itself? Maybe it still is. – A gallery owner on a Chelsea street corner yells disparagingly into his iPhone, "Ideas? Ideas? Fuck ideas! Fuck 'em. You tell, (<i>insert</i> <i>artist's name here</i>), I need fucking product! Paintings Goddammit! Not fucking ideas! Nobody buys ideas!" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ask how much someone will pay for your idea and you'll think more than twice before telling anyone anything again – the non-existent values society gives to brilliant ideas. The idea of electric light was worth nothing - but the lightbulb? That paid the bills. Today the app that actualizes the idea pays the bills, not the idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And yet, this is one idea I own, and actualize - the idea to let anyone paint on the spot , which they love – and bask in the glory of the fabulous results we're getting. It's quite possibly the best idea I've ever had. But I don't have the resources to keep giving it away.</div>

"There's a fine line between desperation and intimidation", someone said to me during my Holiday push for funding. We fell 30% short of our $1000 goal. And so to those of you who are tired of me screaming for support, here are some other things you can do to help us through the winter, other than telling me what a brilliant idea it all is (which I still do appreciate:).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="color: red;">1) Donate for a print:</span> </b>Online, click <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.blogspot.com/2014/12/closing-year-planning-future-thanking.html" target="_blank">here</a> and choose two for $100, or go to the <a href="http://ithinkoutsidemybox.blogspot.com/p/shopping-cart.html" target="_blank">Shopping Cart.</a> Onsite, look at our more competitively priced "artist proofs" at $10, $20 and $30.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: red;"><b>2) Spread the news:</b></span> If I hear, "That should be on the news - or in a museum" one more time, without a reasonable way to get it there, help me out. Send a letter and picture to your favorite channel, paper, magazine or museum and let them know what you think about #iTOMB. And if you know editors or curators, please pass their names along to me - I'll contact them.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="color: red;">3) Arts Grants:</span></b> Unfortunately, we did not make the shortlist for the ArtPlace grant program this year but they were looking for more mature projects and we'll get more shots at that later. In the interim time, please help me keep abreast of grants, fellowships and residencies we might be well suited for - or nominate us for the MacArthur Genius Award:).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thank again all of the many people who <i>do</i> support us nicely through print donations and pictures of presidents other than Washington on-site - but for the rest of you, especially the students and teachers at the $40,000 a year tuition art schools in this city – If you love a creative idea, support it. Financially. Because someday, another great idea will be yours and you'll have some very serious student loans to care for - you'll appreciate being paid rightly for your work.</div>
