Your stuff is cool and you will always be a legend from the old calls. But, I hope that those calls will be a footnote in the museums and art auctions for your stuff! Good luck, I hope you made/make-it to Oregon and get your stuff sorted out of the storage units etc.
ps: keep on Fidgeting!
Quote from: Mr. Fidget on April 17, 2016, 08:39:57 PMI sincerely hope my suggestion to add more "go for it" to Art's life has not lead to hospitalization!

Great call last night, bro. "Blessed are the peacemakers . . ."
Quote from: 73s on April 16, 2016, 11:54:27 AMSomeday I'll have the time/space to take the test. I like RF. As a young boy I went cross-country hitchhiking with Dad, and we got picked up by a trucker. He let me play with the CB, and I've liked "broadcasting" ever since.
We're close in age. Yep, I'm a ham operator. And good to hear you on the show last night.
Quote from: GravitySucks on April 16, 2016, 01:38:02 PMThis last week has been great. I'm hopeful that soon I'll succeed in my quest to relocate to Oregon, and have a little art studio. Thanks for your help in that direction, it means a lot to me.
Hey Mr. Fidget. Got to hear your call. Sounded like you are doing good.

Mr. Fidget owes me 5 bucks

Good luck, Mr Fidget!
Quote from: 73s on April 15, 2016, 05:57:14 PMI am, and likewise 73s. I figure you are a ham, based on your user name. I'm a bit of a ham myself... but not the FCC kind. This pic is a screen grab of my first appearance on tv as an "extra". It was in Mork and Mindy, ep. 55 Dueling Skates (11/27/80). I was 12. I'm the kid whose hands you can see, looking at the camera.
Hope you're having a good Friday Mr. Fidget
Quote from: coaster on April 08, 2016, 09:32:55 PMWhen I cut that little image I was trying to do it in "one line". I think I added the light on the drop as an afterthought. Thanks for the compliment.
find a coffee shop looking for a logo. this is a million dollars right here. Looks like a drop of coffee falling into a cup. though I've been drinking, maybe I'm interpreting it wrong. . I think it's great though.
Quote from: DigitalPigSnuggler on April 09, 2016, 01:34:26 AMAlthough I was only three when the album came out, I'm going need to bring into "field of view" some Firesign Theater here...
Well, now I'm confused. I thought you were asking for donations.
You seem much more sane and intelligent than some who are supporting you. Whatever path you decide to take, I hope it works out for you. Good luck.
Quote from: GravitySucks on April 08, 2016, 02:08:42 PMWow, and thank you! I am very appreciative of the kind words, and donations that have materialized today. My fervent hope is simply to have a stable location in which to create great art, and art related content to share with the world online. Today is the first time in years both of my storages have been paid through the current month. It means a lot to me, and I'll be pushing ahead to create some astounding imagery... and sculpture. I know that when I manifest the visions in my mind's eye, many people will get to enjoy them.
I am on a quest to help Mr. Fidget restore his dignity and to help him move to Eugene, Oregon so that he can begin producing fidgets and some other artwork that he has envisioned.
Respectfully,
GravitySucks.
Quote from: whoozit on April 07, 2016, 06:28:36 PMI really don't blame you, when I found the pic in my laptop... I though "gosh, I want one of those again!".
Sorry, that was rather crass. But it is quite aesthetically pleasing.

Quote from: aldousburbank on April 07, 2016, 06:20:14 PMIt's aboot, in the most succinct extraction, circles connected to circles.
I keep forgetting what is this thread aboot.
Quote from: whoozit on April 07, 2016, 06:13:50 PMWham! Art meets business... just like that. Alas, my pinball supply was fleeting, and I don't have those three sizes of chain currently. It's part of a collector's set that he got back when "creativity" met "material" in the 90's.
Would you be willing to sell one for $60? I could put the money plus shipping in your go fund me account and arrange shipping via pm.
Quote from: 73s on April 07, 2016, 05:55:21 PMIt's the circles that spin, the weight of the chain holds the momentum as it spins on the pinball.
That looks cool, how does it work? I can't envision how it spins.
Quote from: albrecht on March 28, 2016, 10:13:34 PMI have no doubt that upon getting a basic level of stability, and actually starting a "business" such placements would occur. I've had interest from various outlets, but it always boils down to my basic inability to "conduct business" as an individual. It's not an unknown problem for "artist types", many of the best have had similar difficulties with "business". Right now I have huge problems (by my scale @ < $1000) including an upcoming auction of my Oregon storage, and lock-out of my LA unit. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I will find a way. My "gofundme" garnered $80 in a couple days, and although I stopped promoting it, it still exists. Nobody from Bellgab participated, and that showed me something...
MF have you ever approached any museum or art gallery or school of art etc to show, sell, or display your stuff? I've far worse stuff in places like that. (Of course no accounting for tastes and who am I to judge.) But? Maybe an option esp because your mat stuff is cool but the fidgets are like art and mechanical/moving (and self-help and even time-travel) so that this multimedia art display stuff popular now at some galleries/places/festivals. And even interactive.
Ps: keep on fidgeting

You are missing the POINT.
Do to my unparaleled influence and respect, i alone have the power to bring this issue
to a sucesful conclusion. I am really really smart and very well respected by all those involved
in this unfortunate situation. You can post your thoughts all you want on a public board, but I
am the ONLY ONE who has the influence on the players to make it happen.

Quote from: The General on March 26, 2016, 11:28:51 PMIndeed, upper left. That's the one I first made in 1991. I call it an "Original Linkey Fidget". To it's right is "The Clicker", the three loops of chain. Below is "The Double Ring Rotator", with the "Domino" to it's right. I consider them all "Linkey Fidgets".
Which one is the original Fidget? Upper left?
