Robin Costa Booth Like a number of special friends of mine that always pack a blessing,you always come through with possitive infomation I al-ways need and find useful. You are my guardian angel from the beginning of my art. We were in Maui this trip,Lahinia and ate at the Bubba Gump restaurant. A friend ordered a bucket of boat trash from their menu. It was too spicy for me. I had free miles and our friend wanted Janette to go along so he gave her 35,000 miles. We purchased another from him for Colleen and her little Kennedy to join us later. They took our rented car and toured Oahu and saw Sea World and the Polynesian Cultural Center for a Luau and swimming and shopping leaving me free to do my thing seeing the arts and all and to set up possibly a book signing at Borders Books on Ala Monna Blvd and Maui and both ends of the big island. I have 2 new books now on how to get well,the M S diet covers all and the cure for all cancers(or prevention) I say, stating that all cancers come from parasites that invade our bodies and can be killed by taking 3 herbs,green walnut hulls, cloves and wormwood all together. I have a book on the Bible Code given to me by the folks at Gaurdrail Gallery in Seattle, Yesterday I was in Death Valley,California and purchased a book of pictures of beautiful scenes from the U.S. Forest Service. My rented Buick Park Ave. would do 110 but not 140 as per the Speed O. I am working with the Las Vegas Art Museum to print my art in color to represent the show last Summer. They now plan to do it in a book with a heavy foldout cover. the End is Near book sign-ing will be at the Vegas Art Museum May 7&8th.,you must come. A countess from Zurich wants to show my 300foot painting in Swit-zerland and Paris in the year 2000. The Unversity of Memphis is printing a catalog that includes my large painting and now wants to show a reduced version of Revelation because some of the gall-eries or Museums on the planned world tour do not have space to show 300 feet.Help me out here please? City museum in St Louis has ask to buy 3 of my latest paintings on the Revelation 2x3ft. Will I owe you a refund on the art you are returning? I will paint another tree of life soon as you requested. I still want to paint a group to present to House of Blues. The State Museum is buying 6 of my Revelation painting in Columbia. We are leraving tomorrow for Texas and Mexico to buy iron fencing to go around the yard. We have a new water line as of today and a new yard water meter with outlets all around to house,goodbye hosepipes. I have corrected a group of daily journals and will mail you cop-ies. I look forward to publishing them for one complete year. The art director at Winthrop College called me to speak to them on April 7,to show a painting and to read from my journal. Best wishes Thanks for the info. Sincerely,William Thomas Thompson 25 March,1999 Dr. Jim Mann, Jr 25 March 1999 Las Vegas Art Museum Dear Jim I fully agree with you that the book cannot be done on time and it may take away some of the glory of End is Near and all the work they do to bring Hollywood out to Vegas for a major event. My event should be at the half year point like June but no later than July 4th. The book should be exactly like the show as is the end is near. There is such a mix of artist with so many views I want my message clear. Maybe you need to have a mini show of my work when the book is ready. Please do the article for Raw Visions now before it is too late,it should be just the beginning of what you say about me and my work in the book. I am so tired of the stuff about me in the End is Near. You are a master at describing my work and I will never tire reading it. Please proceed with the photographs of all the lose paintings and the 4 50 foot sections also please have them sewing 6 inch black eyelets along the edges. Thanks for leaving my work up for now. City Museum wants to buy 3 paintings now showing in St Louis I think for $1500.,These are 2x3feet x 1inches 12 oz canvas. of Revelation. I vote for the 48page plus cover heavy =56page. I purchased one on the Death Valley in DeathValley from the U.S. forest Service that folds just like that. There are many goods stories to tell like Robin Costa that saw me doing my first painting on Hawaii at Kona and advocates my work and owns some. Tell the Judge that my big painting is available because Dr. Coral Crown at the University of Memphis tells me that it is too big for some of the galleries or museums on their tour beginning November 2000 for one year,I must paint a smaller version. They are however printing a catalog of their show that will include the 300 foot painting.
