Purchasing Lithographs

Please Note: I am having a great deal of difficulty with the computer I am using for the internet work. Generally speaking it is out of date and can no longer handle the processing demands. So please bear with any errors you might see, as I don't seem to be able to correct them when working in this blog. For most other work it is fine but accessing Google, Facebook and other forums with an unknown number of cookies is causing problems with my system. I am using OSX 10.4.11 and this is no longer supported on the internet. I expect to change that as soon as I can, but basically I need a new system.

Traveling Gallery Exhibition

  In discussing the next step of advancing "The Gnomes of New Hope", it became clear that setting up a Gallery Exhibition was a good direction to pursue. Since I am working to set up the scene shop facility in a 10K sq ft space (see the floor plan below) it seems only right to build the exhibition and set it up there. The game plan has been for the sales office to maintain a gallery for display of our products, so the Image of the Mind Studios Traveling Galley Exhibition is being installed adjacent to those offices and will be open to the general public at some point in time.

  The Exhibition will be available to travel to other Galleries, Museums and Theaters as part of our overall presentation scheme. This exhibition will stand on its own as an attraction for visitors and will be designed to have an entrance fee.  We are working out the budget for this, but I expect that from our end of things there will be a flat fee to bring it in, set it up and come back to remove it. There will be an additional percentage cut of any profits derived. If any organization is interested in participating in this scenario, then I would advise you to contact me. 

  The exhibition will be comprised of a mixture of 2D flat artwork and 3D Cycloramas with an audio component, possibly using headphones at certain stations or a hand held devise. 

   It will essentially be a presentation of the story and be structured around the stage play, using sketches and illustrations which we will be using for the Illustrated Storybook and for the Animated film. We do anticipate that this exhibition will accompany the sales of the Illustrated Storybook, Audio CD, and/or the coloring book.

  The 3D cycloramas (in the initial presentation) will be the actual models of the stage sets which we will be using as a guide to build the stage show. With that in mind there may be a version of the exhibition that explains how the show is being prepared for Broadway and show some of the set construction/rehearsals. If that is the case, there may be different exhibitions that are available, each interchangeable with the basic set-up shown below. I am considering some design alterations so the show can be changed.

   This exhibition layout is also available for purchase to any gallery/museum which might like to have it for their own purposes. I expect that by the time the electrical elements are calculated into it that the cost will be approximately $10-12K depending on the design variations that one may want.  If you are interested in having one built for you let me know.

  I am designing the first edition of The Gnomes of New Hope Exhibition  for the benefit of our financial partners, as a means to reveal the core information of the project we are working on. 

   The application of this exhibition as a traveling show will only come into play once the final exhibition is refined enough for release to the public, however, exhibition venues will need to be in place, so I do invite inquiry in that regard. I expect that I will create a PowerPoint and/or video to convey this exhibition to potential presenters.

   The exhibition will change as the show progresses, as we hope to be doing a stop action film and those miniatures and puppets might be applicable to this exhibition as well.

   At some future point Animatronics will come into play, as we have been anticipating going in this direction with the story presentation and we have the tools to do this. Of course this is under the assumption that this show is very well suited for a theme park environment. It is possible that we may very well move to set this up in New Hope Pennsylvania, but we will most certainly need partners to achieve this.

  All of this is also in anticipation of the show being presented on Broadway at some point in time, but in the meanwhile, we are directing our resources toward other more practical and cost effective means of presenting versions of this show which can operate with the lowest possible overhead and the highest practical return.

   In addition our resources are being directed toward Product R&D, for it is very clear that there is a wide market for products that are coming out of this production.

   As you may have seen elsewhere, we are also inviting people to consider investment, although we are not making a public offering at this time. 

   We have some people who have contribute small amounts on a regular basis and this helps us to be able to move forward with development and prepare to the Illustrated Storybook for publication.  

  If you are interested in considering becoming a partner, I would suggest opening up a dialogue with me so that you can be kept informed of how that can happen, I am currently publishing our business plan and that will be made available to our existing partners to review. Release of this information is only being made to people who are familiar to us and who clearly have a genuine interest in partnering with us to make this a success.This information will be posted on the subscriber web site IMS Producing Partners when either I have more time to do that, or I assign a manager to those duties.

  As it stand now we have 35 songs finished for this show, large portfolio of illustrations, and numerous products in the works...  so we are in the home stretch.
