Housewife Makes Billions Working at Home!

Housewife Makes Billions Working at Home!
You can too!
I’m making billions in a new enterprise. Working at home, from my couch, I use my artistic talent to make money, but you don’t need any talent at all to make money using our website. Go to www.thenothingstore.com and make all the money you want.
My business partner labors in the management and promo departments of our enterprise, while I toil in production here at the mint. To create our product, I first arrange my couch pillows for maximum comfort. Then I pile the tools of my trade on the tea table. These tools include plain printer paper and free ball point and gel pens advertising businesses and government agencies. Since pen ink comes in a limited color range, I also use my daughter’s old markers and colored pencils. If I still don’t find the color I need, I change colors on photo shop. I’ve always worked on a shoestring, not a wide athletic shoestring, but a narrow dress shoestring. Even now that I’m making so much money, I maintain my frugal habits.
When I complete the designs, I scan them into my computer, add finishing touches and print them. I’ve printed several denominations of U.S. currency, including one of my favorites, the Everett Dirksen billion.
This is not counterfeiting; this is exploring the aesthetic dimensions and meanings of fiat money. And it is the logical extension of artistic endeavor. If an artist must sell one’s art for money, one might as well skip the middle stage and create money directly. That is what I am doing. Today’s artists describe the purpose of their work in obtuse explanations meant to impress the art world. I hope I have satisfied that requirement.
My partner and I want everyone to have money. We don’t rob Peter to pay Paul as the government does. We don’t redistribute wealth, we share it. We let you print your own money at www.thenothingstore.com, home of the unmighty dollar. Be sure and click the dig button.

Might as well make soap

Might as well make soap
I signed my book at a gift shop Friday night. Thursday, a local newspaper published a big spread on my book and art and mentioned the book signing. This vast publicity brought a deluge of fans and I thank the two for coming.
The gift shop sells art, but not my art as the proprietor prefers non-traditional styles. He introduced a soap maker to me this way, “This is one of your fellow artists, Ms Soapmaker.”
I’m sure the soapmaker has been called worse things. Paintings, books, soap, what’s the difference?
