no it isnt....i think they have a remedial math class at west university....20% is only pennies if the item is cheap...a million dollar painting pays out 200k that is not pennies....

The original artist of whichever pieces sell gets the other 80%. So I'm offering up my entire commission/profit. And if you've ever looked into my store in the mall, you would see that my prices are very reasonable. But to sweeten the deal, I'm willing to donate three works of my own to be auctioned at the event, if there is an event, with all the proceeds going to the campaign.

However if you have a more profitable idea to raise funds, by all means I will gladly step aside.

Alex... be expecting a phone call soon.

Did I fail to mention that the Art Galley/Studio is in West University and therefore most of the works displayed there are those of students? I'm not gonna to insist my students 'donate' any pieces to a political campaign they may not even support. If they chose to do so, I'll find a way to thank them but it's got to be their own choice. I'll suggest it to them but I'll be damned if I'll "Get" them to do it. I have to be very careful how I ask people to do things or they may agree to ideas they normally wouldn't have, so believe me. If I wanted to 'get' them to do it, I could. But I won't. It's wrong.

This.. is just hilarious.
