I agree Fairin. When I saw those 2 amazing characters that Michael and Frank created out of spirited fun ( stand up and take a bow you two) I couldn’t help think there must be another way to productively harness all the creative energy that runs rampant here at the forum.
Products for Inventors by Inventors or just everyday visitors peeking into this gigantic window of opportunity, available for sale here on-line at the forum, of course under the direction and blessings of the EN Organization. It’s no secret, were an open book here on the forum, a wealth of creative juices flowing through our submissions, ideas, short stories, photo’s, even that down home recipe, we can all claim life here is a blast and it shows. We’ve seen time after time how simple ideas take form through a blog and a spirited debate can create it’s lasting power. Yes, this could be a way to make a difference and great way for the EN Team to provide yet another avenue for inventors to travel, bringing them that much closer to finding their own best idea ..

Thanks Sam, You are great and this is a golden opportunity. Frank’s work certainly speaks for itself, and just needs the proper channeling. Wishing you both well.

Hi Frank…
Good morning, check your email. I cannot use “Creative Expressions” (taken), How about: “FrankWhiteCreations” (it has to be all one word w/no other characters)

How do I post pictures in my forum posts?

I have some things to do tomorow, but I will get on this asap. I’ll keep in touch here and by e-mail. THANK YOU! ….. I love a good project!

Folks…. you all are the best!
If one spent all their living on failed inventions, they’d still be RICH knowing angels as you! Thank ALL of you!
I think I’d mentioned before, but to recover and regroup from things that bring me down, I escape into my art;
there I find the peace to reassemble all the confusion….. defragmenting the hard drive so to speak. The painting
I done is posted in another thread. <:-)

Sam, you obviously have the low down on how the store thing works, so yes, you fix it up and we’ll give it a go!
I’m wondering if the “name” shouldn’t have some type of reference to “inventing” or “creativity”… like “Creative Expressions”
or “Look What We Made”…. just thinking out loud.

“Frank’s Place” where everyone knows your name………
people love their name on things……..just a thought to add to the “I want that” syndrome, that makes $$$$ Characters to choose from and your name….now that is a gift.

Frank….just another hurdle……..we know life has many………if it did not………..no reason to reach for more. Quit…….I don’t think so, it is not who you are. Lick the wound, and move on and up……ya know what we teach our offspring. Not do as I say, do as I do…inspire…the little red engine….I know I can, I know I can….I know…………

Nite all. You newbies and seasoned others found one of our best here, and there are many more. Keep poking the genius, he has the magic.

Frank, You have a new e-mail.

And to everyone else: I’m still trying to get Frank to give me the OK to build his store, so you can get your mugs & Tees & stuff. I’m trying to convince him that he will never have to lift a finger once I get him set up… this site does everything for you; it takes the order, takes the payment, produces the item and then mails it directly to the buyer…. Easy-Peasy!

I’m also still looking for Store Name suggestions for Frank.

Thanks for your suggestion Mike, it’s on the list for consideration.

Just a thought here….
What store name would get you excited enuff to make you want to visit it? Or maybe would be catchy enuff for you to easily remember?

Frank,

You’re very creative! Someone once said that we can’t be creative without the Creator. You definitely have been tapping into that infinite resource. You made us all laugh and smile.

Sorry to hear you’re not going to be providing us with the T-shirts and other memorabilia. I was hoping you would be another success story like those multimillionaire guys who started with the “Life Is Good” t- shirts.

Keep on keeping on!

In addition to EN you can always design Tee-shirts on your own being you are so talented with drawing/painting.

Keep your chin up Frank. I just got an R-5 from REDZILLA also. All is not lost. Whenever a door closes, I find that another one opens and God has something even better for me. By the way, REDZILLA, does not have sharp claws and pointed teeth. He is just a bully and pushes others out of the way sometimes. You can always go around REDZILLA or outsmart him.

in, so please, for me, be my guest in proceeding with the
memorabilia store.

You all are so nice and generous; and from the bottom of

Seriously though, I’m not sure I’d be in the right person
to manage such a store and promote EN at this point in

Frank.. If you decide to do this… I need you to think of a name for your online store… Once I register it, the name will be yours 4ever. once I’m done loading your artwork and store, I will e-mail your password, and when you are comfortable that I have shown you everything, you change your password and personal info and then you are open for business! BTW, this is a free/popular site, it will cost you nothing to run.

I want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of you who were in support of this project!

I may post related skits from time to time, as my schedule allows, but there won’t be
any type of promotional sponsorship… however, mugs and/or t-shirts can be be produced
and the one doing so is more than welcome to do open a store to post characters on merchandise
and reap all of the rewards. If you sell it online, just make sure you link back to www.EdisonNation.com
in the product description.

Thanks again all!

Hi Frank,
I had not looked at your wall of pictures before today, and now all I can say is: I bow to your artistic skills! Your aviation details are amazing.
I love the ‘eggies’ comic strip!

Feedback on the RedeX cartoon: …… Maybe round the arms and legs a bit and put a butt on him, so G8tor can kick it!!!!
G8tor is perfect, love the ‘checked’ spine/tail!

Thanks Michael – hopefully there will many upcoming adventures/episodes… <:-)

Rainer – Yes, RED probably needs to be more than just a SLASHER.

You’re right Patricia (thank you for the suggestions), a tricky balance, and it’s still being refined… but I guess that’s okay seeing as how it’s still being considered by EN… well, I HOPE that’s why there’s been zero feedback from the office.

Samantha – Thank you! <:-) My rates depend on the level of detail/complexity, and as a freelance, MUCH less
than mainstream artist. All my graphics are freehand using an ancient/basic PhotoSuite program… there are
programs that can spit out beautiful 3D renderings with just a few clicks… it all depends on what people want.

Frank .. I am in a quandary .. On one hand REDison is a villain but yet if it weren’t for his talents and ability we wouldn’t be were we are now pushing ourselves further to achieve excellence .. Frustrating at times I know but that’s the interesting part. Personally I find him endearing for that. Congratulations you have made these guys so believable we’ve connected with them .. Could maybe he carry a few masks in his pocket, tie strings dangling out the side?
