THE STARVING ARTISTS

www.myspace.com/rgoldschmidt
Design by Bob Plant (FOREVER FUN)

I love this Christmasy time of year!

AND I love this T-Shirt! Wes Garlatz did a GREAT job at cleaning up the logo and sizing it up to these HANES 100% cotton tagless T-shirts! The shirts do run big...I am 6' 3" and sometimes I have to wear an XL for the length BUT the LARGE fits me perfect and almost feels like a fitted shirt. We do have some requests to fill first and then I will make available whatever sizes are left in this first batch for the Holidays! The shirt is $20 + $6 shipping PRIORITY MAIL.

THE BEACH BOYS


c. 1966 RANKIN/BASS PRODUCTIONS/RICK GOLDSCHMIDT ARCHIVES
I love the Beach Boy's Christmas songs!


My Sister Stacey and I enjoying a Christmas from the days of old...




One of my all-time favorites and designer of many RANKIN/BASS shows!

I was listening to THE DAYDREAMER soundtrack again tonight and absolutely love it! I really liked hearing MAURY LAWS talk about the early days of RANKIN/BASS again. I forgot he mentioned he did the music for the GENERAL ELECTRIC commercials in 1962 and 1963. These were not RANKIN/BASS animated commercials BUT they were Holiday commercials with the household products and there were three commercials with 6 minutes of music total. Very interesting stuff!
