Spray painting versus Screen printing verus Painting, Photography and Sculpture

What happens when they all meld together. For sculpture I am refering to molded items, not so much carving things. For photography I am refering to the photographic process and using photographic images in graphical compositions, not just literal photographic display. Painting ain't so much painting as mixing colors and painting around printed objects. Spray painting by using stencils of graphic images and regenerating them onto objects and transfer mediums. Screen printing is what it is since there is no one typical way the screen printing is represented by. A mish mash of the graphic techniques I mentioned above, in no specific order, are what I am currently working on, so I can't really give the stuff a name other than research. I keep going back and forth with what the final product should be, but the applications are more interesting than the end result.

Candles are one potential final product as they are marketable in small quantities. I've made spray painted trucker hats, but they have more of a limited market than candles. T-shirts are the obvious potential product and by randomly composing a set of images on t-shirts virtually and I almost have something ready to roll out there. Mousepads, everyone needs one of those, and they sell too, almost too easy. Magnets fit this same category, but at least they are small and anyone can purchase them for fun since they are cheap. Pictures/Paintings are fun, but not an everyday item that people are willing to spend money on and therefore they are good for display purposes. Plus the Photo Fresco plaster pictures I've been making are quite heavy and dangerous. The Black Velvet prints are marketable in a small way. Oh, what to do?

I just keep running from one thing to another, with each leg of the journey advancing some other part of the research. However, I have to reach the end of the course somewhere along the way and make a little money, I just don't want to stop and make the things I keep coming up with. It's much more fun to invent and create than to finish things and sell them.

It's not easy being Green - American Apparel faces the facts

The fact is that survival in corporate america isn't easy, especially when you sell out. American Apparel tried to sell out, everyday, and it isn't working. Selling out is the American Way, so this is an obvious path for the company to have taken, but don't get fooled again. This isn't just about the libido of Dov Charney, this is about profitability and extortion. The financiers that control the clothing industry of this country have a strangle hold on the companies that work in this country and right now is not a good time to have debt. The debt is what is destroying the stock value of American Apparel and the profitability of the company would be sufficient if it weren't for the exhorbant interest rates that are being charged to the short-term financing and covenents that are restricting the ability of the company to post a profit. I am not saying that the other realities like over-expansion and negligence on the part of the administration aren't obvious problems, but that shit happens all the time from Apple to the White House, so stop throwing stones. Face the facts that the very people that made American Apparel what it is are upset because they can't profit as much as they want. REMEMBER PUTNEY SWOPE! SAVE AMERICAN APPAREL!
