A Song for Sales: With Your Support We Can Soar in the 2009 Stretch Run

Great things can happen in five days.

At least that’s what we’re hoping... And here’s a little detail you’ll probably want to know:
In 2009, ARTvision artists have piled up their wares to the tune of a whopping $13,000 in potential donations.

So, if every last piece were acquired in this final week of buying,
Positive Impact, our beneficiary, would be able to use that cash to immediately advance its HIV testing and exceptional counseling programs.

As a final incentive for buying, I’ve created a full montage of images from this year’s event - set to “Light of Love,” a song I wrote and co-produced with Matthew Smith. Check it out:



All ARTvision 2009 buyers - in addition to receiving
existing swag from our sponsors - will now receive a download coupon code for iTunes so you can enjoy “Light of Love” on your iPod or tune-player of choice.

Get to
buying now and let’s break some fund-raising records! And we’ll see you on the 30th for our pre-party buying opportunity, as well as the New Year’s Eve bash. - WP

"Milk Anyone?" Marks Alexis Vear's Return to ARTvision

After offering and selling “A Cabo Cow” to Toni Ross Weir for last year’s ARTvision, Alexis Vear does a bit of a sequel turn with “Milk Anyone?”

This piece is an 8x10 canvas surrounding by a large mat in a ornamental gold frame. “Milk Anyone?” is offered for a donation of $
600. More photos to follow, but for now, check out the two-image photoshow.

Alexis also will be offering jewelry and a signed CD. Stay tuned!


"I Will Be Your Friend When We Get There"

By way of Greg Davis, here’s an example of an artist (the very talented Mark Salling) going behind the scenes to pay tribute to his cast. His “Glee Family” as he calls it. Very cool.

ARTvision 2009 Music Wish List

(ATLANTA :: 30 September 2009) - I can dream, can’t I?

I have a short list of musicians I’d like to add to ARTvision this year - in addition to the return of The Wayne Fishell Experiment and the addition of Stella Parton (more on those artists soon!).

In no particular order:

Marie Digby. Terrific talent, great guitar player (see her cover of Owl City’s Fireflies)... and one busy gal. But most of all, an impressive songwriter. She kills on a cover of “Umbrella.” But here she is with “Say it Again.”

Corbin Bleu. Actually, I’ve got the wheels turning on this one. Daryl Getman co-starred with Corbin in a tribute concert a few months ago. She shot him an e-mail and we’re waiting to hear back. In the meantime, treat yourself to “Moments that Matter” from his CD, “Speed of Light.”



Jennifer Paige & Nick Carter. This song is a toe-tapper in the highest order. Plus, Jen was an ARTvision Artist last year when she offered up “The Jennifer Paige Fan Experience,” which sold at the silent auction. So I’m after “Beautiful Lie,” which we



If you do, in fact, read this - we need and want your donations! I’m thinking a signed CD, CD single, downloadable track or anything that can connect our buyers with these awesome artists and tunes. I’m open to ideas! Sold yet? Hit me up! (
If you’re one of these artists reading this post, please e-mail me for more info.)

I’m going to attach this post to all related fan pages and see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed, and if you have any suggestions for new music, please let me know.
