Marketing

UPDATE 02/09/2012: PLEASE SEE WWW.THEREVELATIONPAINTING.COM PAGE FOR UPDATES REGARDING THESE OPPORTUNITIES.

This is an auction built for increased financial support toward the completion of the painting.  It is one of many types of marketing projects continually worked on to enhance visibility and support.  Any ideas for future projects are welcome!  With a little over a year left to make this painting highly visible (a “household name”), any insight into exactly how to achieve this goal is invaluable.  Thank you in advance.

A Working Sketch related to Scene Three

 I am offering something similar to Willy Wonka’s story where contributors receive a Certificate of Ownership for a random section of THE REVELATION PAINTING; a one foot amount of the painting itself.  I am seeking true interest from the conception stages of the painting and an opportunity to help an individual, a family, or the realization of a dream.  Imagine having something in your possession that could change your life or the life of someone you love.   Ownership is for the people, (the average Joe).  This is still a painting for the people-to the people and requires global participation.  I realize it is very different in concept from anything ever created but that is just another component this unique creation itself.  I will be running this auction on Ebay for fourteen months (October 2009-November 2010) or until I receive corporate sponsorship/fiscal backing, or until I personally fund the remainder of the project independently.  As the painting’s documented creation increases, so does its value.  Every two months the donation amounts will increase and the ability to become a part of the painting will decrease.

Every two months, the $10.00 donation amounts will double except the 6th amount which is 1/2 of $777.00:

The following $10.00 donation amounts receive what is noted below in the auction standards changing every two months in Dec 2012, Feb 2013, etc…:
$10.00>$20.00>$40.00>$80.00>$160.00>$388.50…any combination of donation amounts which total $777.00 receive as follows, giving everyone the opportunity to make payments toward the $777.00 total from now until November 2010 (14 months)…please note that there ARE NO REFUNDS of donations completed and that all donations receive what is listed below in the increments in which they were donated (Please see $10.00, $50.00 and $100.00 donations below).

$10.00-$49.99=$10.00 auction…$50.00-$99.99=$50.00 auction…$100.00-$776.99=$100.00 auction….$777.00=Certificate of Ownership

 

The final donation amount becomes a purchase amount ending at $777.00 where a certificate of ownership will be issued for a random section of the painting (purchased for $777.00 and is designed to be as a certificate of stock).  Depending on the appraised completion value of the painting, the owner will receive compensation according to a certificate of appraisal at the end of the first year-December 2011, based on a simple calculation of:
Total Appraised Value/Total number of Sections sold=Return.

Example:
There are 480 square feet in this painting (12 feet by 40 feet).  Four 100 foot sections are already owned, leaving 80 one foot sections to sell.

80 ownership sections are currently available.
Estimated value first year $500,000.00 (which is conservative) divided by # of sections sold and owned (the four 100 foot sections included)=
If 1/4 or 20 (Total 420) sections sell=$1190.00 return on $777.00 invested.
If 1/2 or 40 (Total 440) sections sell=$1136.00 return on $777.00 invested.
If 3/4 or 60 (Total 460) sections sell=$1086.00 return on $777.00 invested.
If all or 80 (Total 480) sections sell=$1041.00 return on $777.00 invested.

A one million dollar appraisal with 480 sections sold=$2083.00 return on $777.00!  Taking into consideration the size of the painting, the time invested, the financial investment and techniques never before seen in fine art, it is inevitable that his painting will appraise for far more than one million dollars within the first year.  Do not miss this opportunity! 

Regardless, money is returned, like an investment.  There are risk but they are minimal.  It is more likely than not that the return on $777.00 will be over that amount.

The $50.00 and $100.00 donations follow the guidelines listed for the duration of the auction and the prices do not increase.

As you can see the potential return is remarkable!  At the end of the first year, December 2013, the Certificate of Ownership is paid out to you and becomes null and void for ownership value but retains and increases value as an original artwork created by the artist of THE REVELATION PAINTING as well as, an ongoing part of history that only the original purchasers will have possession of…like a 480 piece series of original art.

The certificates are hand painted on canvas, numbered, suitable for framing and signed by the artist.  Designed, sealed with UV protection lacquer to last a lifetime as an original piece of artwork.

For donations of ($50.00) or more your name will be placed in the Journal of Acknowledgement as well as given a one page advertising area.  You will be able to use this one page space (average approximate journal size 8″ x 5″, type only) for business advertising, a personal message to the world, or whatever you would like.  Where else can you pay for advertising at that price especially associated with a history making piece of art?  Being tied to this painting will reap unlimited exposure world-wide!!!

In mid 2010 the site www.therevelationpainting.com will go live with webcam views of the painting in process-The Finale.  Artist assistance and/or sponsorship is desperately needed in these final phases of production as the artist has been funding this massive work independently for the past 15 years.

Required pieces include a full fiber optic set up with several lighting sources, publishing of the 7 journals associated with the painting, still needed gemstones, 3D flip graphics, custom made wooden canvases and other supplies.  As you can see, it is a serious endeavor all geared toward UNITY and visual peace which is the artist’s desire for the world!  It seems a grand job for one person and most likely is but with the determination to share the proceeds, the artist is highly motivated toward the 2010 completion goals.

—ABOUT THE PAINTING—

The Revelation Painting©

“La pittura di rivelazione”

 is a massive work of art measuring 12 feet by 40 feet with 7 magnificent scenes.  Thirty canvases 48″ X 48″ were required for the creation of the painting.  The canvases are of gallery wrapped cloth and custom made wooden canvases required to carry the weight and storage of the elements of the painting.  This painting will travel the world in exhibition and is indeed history in the making!  The artist has expressed that in this world of turmoil and unsettling conflict, that something very beautiful can be created through resources not commonly used to create unity and world peace.  Fifteen years have been dedicated to exposing the beauty of the world and its resources, its people, spirit, culture and soul.  The artist states:  “It is a “presence” of beauty for the world, visual peace in times of turmoil.”

The painting incorporates fiber optics, 3D “flip” graphic resources, and gemstones from around the world, among other things commonly not seen in fine arts.  Each gemstone holds a sacred place in the painting which is identified in one of seven journals being created simultaneously titled: The Stones.  The journal includes information about the stones and their origin related to the painting.  One of the mysteries of Revelation has been uncovered in this section of the painting!  There is an area of precious and semi precious crushed gemstones creating the New City which spans a total of 220 inches respectively.  The stones include Quartz, Ruby, Chalcedony, Sardonyx, Carnelian, Beryl, Helidor, Topaz, Bixbite, Zircon, Amethyst, and Chrysoprasus…it is stunning and like nothing you have never seen!  Each 1″ section of gemstone coverage required 6 carats of crushed gemstones.  The painting also contains titles and subtitles in languages from all over the globe!

The other six journals are:

+ the artist ideas, thoughts, and feelings while creating this life’s work (2 books Dreams, Visions)
+ Sketches of the work (1 book), Truth-The Hemorrhage of Pigs! (1 book)
+ Measures-with such a massive size it was imperative that the measurements be precise. (1 book)
+ Journal of Acknowledgement, the most important journal in the series acknowledges the participation no matter how great or small toward the completion of this masterpiece.  It discloses not only their personal contribution but information provided by the contributor and advertising if desired of their businesses, personal information, dreams and aspirations.  Essentially whatever the contributor wants to say to the world! (1 book)

+ The seventh and final journal will not be disclosed until the painting is complete..a mystery-as is many aspects of Revelation!

The painting will be shown via webcam in mid 2012 with the artist working on it…THE FINALE.  There will be scans of the work and updates regarding all aspects of this wonderful creation starting in April 2012.  You will view the last year of the making of this historical painting.  It is a painting to the people for the people.  You and the world are a part of it!
