You many remember TPG 14 Map(256+128)3 by Mattew Cella. There were five “golden tickets” within the edition; they are printed on a golden aluminum alloy instead of the regular silver. Matthew sent us a sample of what five lucky subscribers received. Mucklate. Here are the ingredients: white chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, chocolate cookie, one skittle, one gummy bear head and artificial colors. It was quite a surprise when opening a box to a colorful mound of a chocolate covered cookie!

This August, the Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs comes to San Francisco, bringing three days of specific, hands-on programming aimed at helping creative professionals become better business owners. The conference covers both universal issues like small business taxes and intellectual property, as well as grander topics like Creative Collaborations, The Art of Publicity, and Getting More Done.
Oliver and I are on a panel talking about Alternatives to the Gallery for the fine artist. Gone are the days when art was only available in galleries, museums, and the homes of wealthy collectors. These days anyone can be a patron, collector or exhibiting artist through the myriad alternative art venues springing up around the world. In this panel, we’ll talk about inventive ways artists can show their work and get funding for it, from art subscriptions to microfinance organizations to online exhibitions.
With multiple panels every hour, the hardest part will be deciding which session to attend. If you’re interested in joining us to hone some skills, we’re happy to offer a discount to all of you. Enter the code TPG15 in the discount code box to receive 15% off any ticket.
