Hi all,
I had just received this newsletter from my friends at Architexture and had to share this with everyone. I know Gaia Calcaterra and the whole Architexture staff work very hard to support all who have these very special projects and once again they stepped up to the plate to help yet another artist friend of mine in Ocala Florida, Bobby Pesare of Timeless World Design….

To view this newsletter click on the link directly below “Having trouble viewing this email” …..Yo, Bobby!!!!!!

imagine                     design                    create ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TATTOOWALL by Bobby Pesare Timeless World Design BEFORE AFTER How was this beautiful prayer room achieved? THE PROJECT DESCRIBED BY BOBBY PESARE OF TIMELESS WORLD DESIGN Quick Links Take a Course Tattoowall Urbantattoo Image Gallery Projects Sample Kits Order Online What is Tattoowall? It is a method of color transfer that was originally created to reproduce murals, frescoes, and trompe l’ oeils and artwork. Tattoowall is not like traditional wallpaper. It is the direct transfer of color onto walls or ceilings. What is Urbantattoo? It is an avant garde printing process, that makes it possible to print any image onto any surface. These  include, but are not limited to tile, aluminum,fabric, wood, glass, blinds, mosaic, parquet floors etc. “THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS….I WAS DOING SOME WORK AT A DOCTORS HOME. THE HOME WAS COMING IN A BIT OVER 8 MILLION, JUST A BEAUTIFUL HOME. I WAS DOING SOME MATCHING OF THEIR CUSTOM CABINETS AND VENEZIANO ON SOME CEILINGS WITH GOLD LEAF. THE FAMILY WAS FROM INDIA & WAS OF MUSLIM FAITH. THE HOME  WAS BUILT WITH TRADITIONAL MUSLIM FEATURES (DOORWAYS & ARCHES THAT COME TO A POINT, A PRAYER ROOM BUILT INSIDE THE HOME & LOTS OF OTHER TRADITIONAL MID-EASTERN FEATURES).” ” I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY FIRST PROJECTOR,  AND HAD RECENTLY COMPLETED MY ARCHITEXTURE TATTOOWALL CERTIFICATION COURSE. BOTH SIDES OF THEIR PRAYER ROOM HAD A MOCK CUT-OUT OF A TYPICAL MUSLIM WINDOW.   I THOUGHT  HOW AWESOME IT WOULD BE TO PUT A TATTOOWALL OF A WINDOW FROM A FAMOUS MOSQUE IN THERE. I WENT HOME & DOWNLOADED SOME GREAT PICTURES OF SOME VERY COLORFUL & WONDERFUL IMAGES OF THE WINDOWS THE NEXT DAY I SET UP MY LAPTOP & PROJECTOR, AND PROJECTED  THE IMAGES ONTO THE PROPOSED SPACE. THE OWNER WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, TOOK ONE LOOK AT MY IDEA , AND SHE TURNED TO ME & SAID…”YOU CAN DO THAT?” , I SAID “YES I CAN”.   SHE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY  & CALLED HER HUSBAND, SAID SOMETHING IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE, HANGS UP & SAYS “DO IT!!!!” I FOUND THE IMAGE ONLINE,  SO I WROTE THE OWNER OF THE PHOTO & ASKED HIS PERMISSION TO USE IT.  HE WAS VERY EXCITED AND SENT ME WRITTEN COPYRIGHT APPROVAL.” “THE PROJECT WAS A LITTLE COMPLEX BECAUSE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT ANGLES AND MATCHING A CONTUINING GEOMETRIC PATTERN.   I WOULD HAVE NEVER FELT COMFORTABLE DOING THIS COMPLEX OF A PROJECT WITHOUT TAKING THE CLASS FIRST….NO WAY. GAIA , MICHAEL & DAISY WERE A GREAT SUPPORT AND WERE THERE FOR ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. WHEN IT CAME TO THE GRAPHICS, BRIAN WAS OFF THE SCALE AND  GREAT TO WORK WITH. WE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS WELL INTO THE NIGHT ABOUT HOW TO OVERCOME SOME OF THE OBSTACLES.” “OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT PROJECT FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION.  THE CLIENT ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT.  THE BEST PART WAS IT WAS A GREAT UP SELL ON A PROJECT I WAS ALREADY WORKING ON. I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL TOOL IN MY TOOLBOX OF FINISHES. HAPPY TATTOOING!! ” -BOBBY PESARE, TIMELESSWORLDDESIGN.COM, OCALA FL. 352-812-4433 Architexture would like to congratulate Bobby Pesare on a perfectly executed application!

I have just finished my newsletter for February and set in on the scheduled so those of you that have subscribed to it will be getting some very cool updates. If you haven’t signed up for it than you can always do so on the right side of this page or at the bottom of this article.

I have fallen a bit behind on my posts so I will try to catch you up on a couple of things.

Just recently I was introduced to a product line that I was very impressed with

it is made from recycled glass (windshields) and is formed into a bead that is suspended into an acrylic medium which is troweled on. I am not going to go into a whole lot of detail right at the moment because I have a few clients and Interior Designers in other states that are wanting to see some samples of some new faux painting ideas of this product and I will follow up with the details on another blog post. If you want to get this information then sign up for my newsletter so you will be notified as soon as I post this information. It isnt a new product, but it is one that has not had much of an introduced into the residential market after having a huge success in the modern/contemporary commercial market.

So for now I am just posting these pics

Of course I couldn’t resist  adding my own touch to the finish because

I always like to be different from any one else

but I still have to show possible clients at least one of the standard colors below

The recycled glass becomes art,  is actually a very durable and sound product,

Click on the photo for a larger view to really appreciate the look  itself.

This can be ordered in any color but I believe they have 6 standard colors

The one below is special because it mixes the old with the new of which one of my recent posts

where as I have combined an “Old World Fresco” with  the recycled glass to become art

This is all I have time for to post at the moment but I will have more very soon so if you want to keep up to date on this progress as well as other things I am trying out be sure to sign up below

Sad but true, Our economy is really in a bad way and is the worse I have seen in my 49 years that I have been on this planet.
Being an artist as long as I have, as well as being in the painting business for over 30 years, I always thought that this was enough to have a good quality of life, but the way things have changed so dramatically in the last few years I have found that this isn’t so any longer and it has forced me to look for other avenues of income in order to make ends meet.
So that is what my entry here is about and I hope everyone looks at this with an open mind because after a years worth of research and the hundreds of dollars I have spent getting to this point I can only hope that who ever reads this will at least get something from it and realize that
you have to change with the times otherwise you are going to be left so far behind
that you will never be able to find your way back to the quality of life that you once had a few years ago.
This may sound like a “Marketing Letter” but in reality it isn’t because if you follow my blog at Art-Faux.com you will see that I am the kind of person who believes in helping others in finding solutions to problems when it come to their art and business and I also help others get exposure for their obvious talents no matter the choice of art form.

I believe just living life alone is an art form any more because of the many things we are now facing on a daily basis from searching for work to creatively stretching the groceries as far as we can to make it through the week, and after a couple of years of dealing with this myself I have grown tired of it and have reached to other ways of adding income to my bottom line.
In my research I have discovered that the internet is doing unbelievably well with internet marketing as well as some Multi Level Marketing (MLM) businesses and I have chosen to pursue these avenues and found there is opportunity with these business models and have actually joined a couple MLM’s myself, but the problem was that you had to put a lot of time into them which would take away from my main business, until I discovered a system that has a unique way of marketing FOR you and will bring people TO you instead of you having to pursue them, once you have everything in place.
It actually teaches you everything you need to know about internet marketing and making money online while your making money.
Within the first week of signing up for this I had generated more leads for my primary MLM business than I have in 2 months because

these leads are actually from people who are looking for the very same kind of marketing system as I was.
The MLM business I got involved with a few months ago is dealing with Silver and Gold Collectibles and has rocketed with people wanting to be part of it and has now just launched in Canada as well and in combination with the marketing system I have just told you about that you can use for any MLM business also generates streams of income through affiliate’s associated with the system.

I don’t want everybody to think that I am no longer in the painting business because art is my passion

and I will never stop painting regardless of what the current administration has in store for us but I am just trying to tell everyone that you really should look into if not this opportunity you may consider others it really doesn’t matter to me. I just thought that this information could help put you in the right direction. I have already done all the research on different MLM companies, marketing ploys, which has cost me hundreds if not thousands of dollars because of all the trial and errors I have been through in the past year and I am using this system personally and will always be here to help along the way if you decide to join me. This will save you a huge amount of time and money by taking my advice and giving this a try if your looking for some great additional income from home because I have already taken the risk and have found this to work and it doesnt cost a ton of money to get started.

With this I will close this entry and am providing a link to my marketing system that you can try out for $1.00 for 14 days and can cancel at anytime

I would advise my friends and followers to look very hard at this,

I would hate to come back a year from now and have to tell you I told you so!

I am going to step outside of my norm here and let all of you know about something I found to be very interesting and in time for the holidays. As you all know the economy has been in a rut the last couple of years and because of that I have been looking for something to try and create a future for myself, my children and my grand children. As a result I have discovered that gold and silver would probably be a great way to secure a future for most of my family members being that nothing else seems to be worth buying these days…….

But, what I have found is that gold and silver prices often go up and down in the market and thought that bullion probably wouldn’t be the right investment at the moment because its at a high.

I am no financial adviser either, but there are some things that just makes sense to me. So what I have discovered is that high quality collectable coins rarely ever go down in value,  as long as they are of the right quality and are certified by one of the top three agencies in the world who rate these coins.

Well to make a long story short, I have ran across an opportunity that takes care of both things that I was looking for.
A great gift for my family members for the holidays that does not depreciate and only increases in value and something I wouldn’t mind having a closet full of because of the recurring monthly shipments

It was a friend of mine who told me about this opportunity that has just become available about a month ago and  I thought “What a great idea for the holidays AND a great way to gain some assets to boot!”  I personally have already bought a couple of things and I must say I was so impressed with the quality and the authenticity of what they are offering that I also signed up for the “auto ship” option to receive my “monthly asset” automatically.

“Automatic Monthly Asset?”

Sounds good to me!

I had to do a post about it to let all my friends and followers know that this is the real deal and I think being the way things are today it would be the perfect gift for anyone and a great opportunity for everyone, and the beauty of this is there is no one else doing this  and it is at a ground level opportunity for which I have taken full advantage of myself, because everyone knows that by getting in early, is always better than getting in later…….

I know there are many skeptics out there, including myself, but after getting all the facts about the opportunity and how it works, I for one, jumped in with both feet and already have seen some positive results!

I have never heard of anyone complaining about having a closet full of assets

Hi everyone,

Today I was thinking that since I am on a wood graining kick that I might as well work on my other “How To Video” and ended up on my entry door video segments that I recently finished. I have two lines of “How To’s” videos in progress and since I just recently refinished a set of mahogany entry doors I thought I may as well put a preview out there to let people know that I am very knowledgable in things other than decorative art, after all, I have had a brush in my hand since time began for me anyway.

I got this call from a builder friend of mine David Giles of Purple Sage Construction  who had a client that needed something done with their entry doors. It turned out that the person who took on this job prior to me did not have the right qualifications to take on such a feat and did the best they could with them without having to strip them. In other words they were a mess by the time I got to them. They were at first wanting to have them woodgrained in order to “cover-up” what was there and I simply told them for less cost they could bring them back to the original beauty of the natural mohagany. To me it just doesnt make sense to do a mohagany wood grain over a mohagany door unless there is some kind of good reason. So I stripped the doors back to the original surface and cleaned them up and this is where this blog begins…..
