Ctome on Shipping & Handling

art as a line item. Good for the small survivor shop. Rules to keep away the rabble while you continue to dabble.

Sometimes we post the reasons you shouldn’t do business with us. With these rules, we define our expectation — probably based upon a past dealing that failed. With these rules you eliminate future action. Why?

Perhaps because you are so “booked” that you can’t do the work. So booked, but unable, unwilling to expand your business, either with people or process. Seems like something that someone in their late ages should have solved in some way other than blocking the doorway.

Likely, this person has encountered lower interest prospects — time wasters, as it turns out. Time wasted because they don’t actually see your value. Why is that? What is it that you can’t present?

Today on the Johns site, ctome expands about custom printing – a major component is in the back room grit of shipping and handling. It is another extended sales piece — “It will be good, because, well, as I’ve said many times before: I am good.”

Meaning Comes from

Ideas, histories are built of parts. Combined, recombined. Taken apart for a gear here, there. A phrase, Tones. Related. distorted. We talk and listen to the past. The past we passed through. The past we are making. Nothing is purebred. This isn’t genesis. This is synthesis.

Cormac McCarthy forms words from his landings. Driving, looking, reading. His books holdout the anti-western. Not the formations of Carl Chiarenza, a PhD. worder of photography, photographers, those histories. The only thing McCarthy and Chiarenza share is my studio table.

Pictures Come from Pictures. We do not know who gave birth to the first — or why or how. We can speculate on the cave or on its source of inspiration; we can speculate on how the first pictures were perceived. But we can’t be sure. — Carl Chiarenza, Landscapes of the Mind, 1988.

McCarthy wouldn’t have punctuated it as correctly. Probably wouldn’t have said that much without making a new, better fitting word. That’s why his pictures are formed of letters not shadows.

the ugly fact is books are made out of books. . . . The novel depends for its life on the novels that have been written.” Cormac McCarthy
