I have just about every great airbrush how-to book ever published along with books on signwriting, gold leaf, drawing books from the human form to portraits. A collection including the works of Manet, Van Gogh, Leonardo and American Painting from 1900-1970. I have Label and Advertising poster books and much more. All these books are in like new condition. I also have many unused packages of variegated leaf. This is strictly for a serious person with money. If you are interested in this book collection or the leaf itself, call me at 541-660-1092 I would like to see one person who is dead serious in regards to bettering themselves in this craft because this stuff is going to help you out tremendously.
I also have the book collections of WW II, Viet Nam, History of Photography, Man, Myth and Magic and all are in near fine condition.
If these things do not float your boat than in a short time I will put all this on Ebay after I get the time in which to photograph everything.

I have first call on the leaf Joey depending on how much. Will phone you tomorrow sometime. You are probably counting sheep in your sleep right now.
The books? The only problem is shipping half way round the world. Worth doing for some idividual ones but not a collection.

best of luck Joey! I hope all goes well with passing on your collection to the right hands to keep the craft alive, and that you find as much satisfaction in retirement as you seem to have in the years of pinstriping.
Like with Jon, I am not in an ideal location to afford the freight costs in purchasing an entire book collection if you are going to sell all your sign books to one buyer. If you do sell any books seperately, I will be watching to see if you post pics or titles.

Joey, I am really saddened to hear that you are retiring. Your work is beautiful. You didn't say anything about selling your brushes, so maybe you will still be striping? I hope so!
Been so busy with vinyl, sandblast mask, new machines & programs, I got totally stressed out. Really bad, seriously. Today I got to hand paint an old chalkboard for a restaurant. Just a simple OPEN sign, but ornate. What a wonderful change of pace!
I hope you never sell your brushes Joey. Hope you paint til your last day.

I have retired months ago and have become a full time pot farmer away from my property where I have hired nine full time Mexican immigrants. I feel this is my way of helping these poor souls to better themselves while trying to make a better life in this country. I believe everyone should make an attempt to help others and at least when one knows so much about growing, it would be a waste to have all that knowledge fall to the wayside. Just think of it as doing my part in this poor economy and having workers which can contribute rather than collect welfare.
Remember the old saying that pot would get you through the times of no money a lot better than money will get you through the times of no pot

of course i remember that saying....they still say it!
i wish i could be a full time pot farmer, that sounds like a nice job!...but our state has its head up its arse. its so retarded that a plant that has never caused a known death is against the law to grow and use. but alcohol and cigarettes, which kills a huge amount of people and reeks havoc on society is a-okay! go figure....

I remember a few years ago in a large Southern city. There was a demonstration for the legalization of mary jane.
I don't use it but knew a few that did. There were several in my peer group... as is the same for many of us... suffering from the effects of chemo. They used the herb because it seems it helped them eat after a treatment. In effect it was helping them regain their strength.
While there, more than a few "Do Goods" were screaming in an extremely vocal manner about the future harm that the herb "could" be doing to the health of those already suffering users.
Here I was standing perplexed.. watching one group asking for some relief and another faction screaming about the possible but unknown future ill effects it could have.
Ill effects? How much more could the ill effects be a factor when someone was already dying from a bad disease?

I quit smoking pot about 15 years ago, & still know many people who do. I also know many people who take perscription pain pills, some are addicted to Oxicontins, percacets, etc. I am surprised they still will not legalize the pot, after seeing what the LEGAL perscription drugs do.
Ever listen to those commercials on the tv for perscription drugs? Ever catch all the side effects? One of them can cause LYMPHOMA!!!! But nope, they catch you smoking pot, or having a bag of it on your person, it is off to jail you go.
In my own opinion, I feel the Good Lord wants me sober minded, so I prefer not to smoke pot or drink anymore. But I honestly find it ridiculous that they are selling all these things that can & do kill you.

You never know where selling the herb may send you. I hear Hawaii is possible. Good luck with what ever you do and what ever profession you attempt to master. I am sure you will be quite capable of ****ing them off as well.

The prescription drugs that kill me are the one where the side effect might be "leakage" Oh boy, now that sounds like a great time to me..... lol

Oregon offers permits for both growing and using marijuana to those with certain ailments. It allows a person to grow up to six or seven plants plus mothers and clones and the permit holder can have in their possession up to one and a half pounds at any time whether in house or not. The federal government has no say here in Oregon like they do in lets say California and that is a blessing to those who see a need to use this herb. I personally do not get stoned every hour of the day otherwise I'd have no fingers left as I am restoring this house that I live in as am using power tools half the day.
I hope this herb never becomes legalized as that would involve the government and a tax etc. I do however like the fact that many use it for pain and coping rather than have some drug administered by some quack of a doctor who only prescribes it so he can receive a kick back from the drug company and in actuality knows nothing of what get mixed with what and what it actually does. All this crap in regards to what the doctor knows is just that, crap and that's why they are called practitioners and only called professionals when a parking space is needed.

i was given a prescrption for this drug by a doctor. I READ THIS, and never took 1 pill. INDICATION, is the what its good for. WARNING, PRECAUTIONS & ADVERSE REACTIONS far out weigh its BENIFITS!!!!!
LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Indications
Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is useful in patients with the following disorders who have not responded satisfactorily to drugs with less potential for serious side effects: lupus erythematosus (chronic discoid and systemic) and acute or chronic rheumatoid arthritis.
Warnings
PHYSICIANS SHOULD COMPLETELY FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE COMPLETE CONTENTS OF THIS LEAFLET BEFORE PRESCRlBlNG Hydroxychloroquine SULFATE.
Irreversible retinal damage has been observed in some patients who had received long-term or high-dosage 4-aminoquinoline therapy for discoid and systemic lupus erythematosus, or rheumatoid arthritis. Retinopathy has been reported to be dose-related.
When prolonged therapy with any Antimalarial compound is contemplated, initial (base line) and periodic (every three months) ophthalmologic examinations (including visual acuity, expert slit-lamp, funduscopic, and visual field tests) should be performed.
If there is any indication of abnormality in the visual acuity, visual field, or retinal macular areas (such as pigmentary changes, loss of foveal reflex), or any visual symptoms (such as light flashes and streaks) which are not fully explainable by difficulties of accommodation or corneal opacities, the drug should be discontinued immediately and the patient closely observed for possible progression. Retinal changes (and visual disturbances) may progress even after cessation of therapy.
All patients on long-term therapy with this preparation should be questioned and examined periodically, including the testing of knee and ankle reflexes, to detect any evidence of muscular weakness. If weakness occurs, discontinue the drug.
In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, if objective improvement (such as reduced joint swelling, increased mobility) does not occur within six months, the drug should be discontinued. Safe use of the drug in the treatment of juvenile arthritis has not been established.
Precautions
Dermatologic reactions to Hydroxychloroquine sulfate may occur and, therefore, proper care
should be exercised when it is administered to any patient receiving a drug with a significant tendency to produce dermatitis.
The methods recommended for early diagnosis of "chloroquine retinopathy" consist of (1) funduscopic examination of the macula for fine pigmentary disturbances or loss of the foveal reflex and (2) examination of the central visual field with a small red test object for pericentral or paracentral scotoma or determination of retinal thresholds to red. Any unexplained visual symptoms, such as light flashes or streaks should also be regarded with suspicion as possible manifestations of retinopathy.
If serious toxic symptoms occur from overdosage or sensitivity, it has been suggested that ammonium chloride (8 g daily in divided doses for adults) be administered orally three or four days a week for several months after therapy has been stopped, as acidification of the urine increases renal excretion of the 4-aminoquinoline compounds by 20 to 90 percent. However, caution must be exercised in patients with impaired renal function and/or metabolic acidosis.
Adverse Reactions
Not all of the following reactions have been observed with every 4-aminoquinoline compound during long-term therapy, but they have been reported with one or more and should be borne in mind when drugs of this class are administered. Adverse effects with different compounds vary in type and frequency.
Neuromuscular Reactions: Skeletal muscle palsies or skeletal muscle myopathy or neuromyopathy leading to progressive weakness and atrophy of proximal muscle groups which may be associated with mild sensory changes, depression of tendon reflexes and abnormal nerve conduction.
Ocular Reactions:
1. Ciliary body: Disturbance of accommodation with symptoms of blurred vision. This reaction is dose-related and reversible with cessation of therapy. 2. Cornea: Transient edema, punctate to lineal opacities, decreased corneal sensitivity. The corneal changes, with or without accompanying symptoms (blurred vision, halos around lights, photophobia), are fairly common, but reversible. Corneal deposits may appear as early as three weeks following initiation of therapy. The incidence of corneal changes and visual side effects appears to be considerably lower with Hydroxychloroquine than with chloroquine. 3. Retina: Macula: Edema, atrophy, abnormal pigmentation (mild pigment stippling to a "bull's-eye" appearance), loss of foveal reflex, increased macular recovery time following exposure to a bright light (photo-stress test), elevated retinal threshold to red light in macular, paramacular, and peripheral retinal areas. Other fundus changes include optic disc pallor and atrophy, attenuation of retinal arterioles, fine granular pigmentary disturbances in the peripheral retinal and prominent choroidal patterns in advanced stage. 4. Visual field defects: Pericentral or paracentral scotoma, central scotoma with decreased visual acuity, rarely field constriction, abnormal color vision.
The most common visual symptoms attributed to the retinopathy are: reading and seeing difficulties (words, letters, or parts of objects missing), photophobia, blurred distance vision, missing or blacked out areas in the central or peripheral visual field, light flashes and streaks.
Retinopathy appears to be dose related and has occurred within several months (rarely) to several years of daily therapy; a small number of cases have been reported several years after antimalarial drug therapy was discontinued. It has not been noted during prolonged use of weekly doses of the 4-aminoquinoline compounds for suppression of malaria.
Patients with retinal changes may have visual symptoms or may be asymptomatic (with or without visual field changes). Rarely scotomatous vision or field defects may occur without obvious retinal change.
Retinopathy may progress even after the drug is discontinued. In a number of patients, early retinopathy (macular pigmentation sometimes with central field defects) diminished or regressed completely after therapy was discontinued. Paracentral scotoma to red targets (sometimes called "premaculopathy") is indicative of early retinal dysfunction which is usually reversible with cessation of therapy.
A small number of cases of retinal changes have been reported as occurring in patients who received only Hydroxychloroquine. These usually consisted of alteration in retinal pigmentation which was detected on periodic ophthalmologic examination; visual field defects were also present in some instances. A case of delayed retinopathy has been reported with loss of vision starting one year after administration of Hydroxychloroquine had been discontinued.
Dermatologic Reactions: Bleaching of hair, alopecia, pruritus, skin and mucosal pigmentation, photosensitivity, and skin eruptions (urticarial, morbilliform, lichenoid, maculopapular, purpuric, erythema annulare centrifugum, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, and exfoliative dermatitis).
Hematologic Reactions: Various blood dyscrasias such as aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia (hemolysis in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency).
Gastrointestinal Reactions: Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Isolated cases of abnormal liver function and fulminant hepatic failure.
Allergic reactions: Urticaria, angioedema and bronchospasm have been reported.
Miscellaneous Reactions: Weight loss, lassitude, exacerbation or precipitation of porphyria and nonlight-sensitive psoriasis.
Cardiomyopathy has been rarely reported with high daily dosages of Hydroxychloroquine.

This is not exactly a reply. I am new to this forum and I was wondering if anyone is interested in buying a quantity of Hastings 23 karat XX gold leaf rolls. I have 3 boxes. Each roll is 3/8" wide x 67' long. The rolls are unopened, packed in the original boxes (8 to a box) with a date of Nov. 22, 1950 on the bottom. I bought these along with a few books of gold leaf at an estate sale a few years ago when I was doing lettering with illuminations. I will have to do some more research to find out what these should cost, but I thought this might be a good place to see if anyone is interested. By the way, I'm really impressed with a lot of the work you all do. Thanks.
