In This Issue: * Super Workshop update * "Adventures In Art" / "Art-On-The-Fly" explained * Little Boy & Girl Sweethearts photo art * Welcome Karen Chase - new "Adventures In Art" artist * Becoming a contributing artist for "Adventures In Art" * "Adventures in Art" - Art Categories === The Super Workshop is shaping up to be our most exciting event in years. We are sooo busy getting ready. Here is a little update. Super Workshop - Sept. 27-29 Las Vegas The Imperial Palace just faxed us and said our block of sleeping rooms is down to 18 left. After they are gone it is on an availability basis. This is also true after Sept. 4 anyway, at that time they stop holding the block. Don't wait too long to get your reservations and end up having to stay at another hotel. It really isn't worth it. The information you gain by being with other licensees (where the action is) really is worth allot of money. Don't forget you must register with us as well as book a sleeping room. The cost of registration goes up Sept. 1! Sleeping Rooms: Beginning Sunday night there are a few rooms being held for our group under the Group Name of "Performance Marketing" . These are $49 single or double add $15 per additional person. Call the Imperial Palace Convention Desk Toll Free at 1-800-800-2981.
"Adventures In Art" / "Art-On-The-Fly" "Adventures In Art" with it's "Art-On-The-Fly" feature will truly revolutionize this business. This new software will be introduced at the Super Workshop. We are creating an information page on our web site for the Super Workshop http://www.giftswithaheart.com/events.html and next week another for the "Adventures In Art" / "Art-On-The-Fly" . As details become available we will be posting them on these pages, with photos etc.. Keep looking up there to keep fully updated. "Art-On-The-Fly" Art-On-The-Fly will give you the ability to select, size and print the art desired "on-the-fly". Each of our art licensors have a library of their art. You will print the art you need, as needed, in the size appropriate for the product you are creating. You can make everything from key tags to T-shirts "on-the-fly". Each time you print from your library of art, it counts down one pre-paid royalty from your bank. When you have used up all your pre-paid royalties for your library, you call us with a credit card and unlock more uses for your library. Q. - Sounds great but how much do color printers cost? A. - The art prints great on an Epson 850 which can be found for under $300 Q. - How much will the upgrade cost? A. - Right now it looks like the basic start up will be about $500 Q. - What kind of art will be available? A. - At the end of this letter is a list of the art already licensed for "Adventures In Art". There are over 250 images! Little Boy & Girl Sweethearts photo art
We are currently negotiating an entire series of old fashion "color tint" photos of little boy & girl sweethearts. These are to be included in "Adventures In Art". With these you’ll never miss "PT First Love". They are very exciting, we’ll keep you posted.

Art Security: The first question an artist will ask is how safe their art will be. Please assure them the art will be protected with the highest level of security.
