Intellectual Property Law in Art

It was a lot of work to finally get to the point.  This 2004 ad above looks  like me leaving a thrift store back in the early 2000's, jeep and all, except that for me the most important part of each jeep haul was books, magazines, and DVDs.   Everything was a potential project, or part of a bigger picture.  I was hoping that I would eventually get the point.  

Back in the  2001/2002 era, America's Thrift Store was new to the Atlanta area.  Someone at their store in Riverdale would frequently put a Master Lambton relic in the BOOKS section of store, usually with their collection of second hand Bibles.  Since the kid looked much like me from years ago, I would spend the $1.98 for my Master Lambton relic.  I kept them in a box on a shelf in the bedroom, and wondered if I'd ever get the point.  

I was more interested in what had been published about Pan Am Flight 103.  Plus there was the upcoming trial in Belgium, but that's a different story at a different tab.  Anyway, at the thrift store one day I found a book with the same title as my birthday.  I opened to the copyright page to see what year this was published.  The Fourth of June was published in 1962; the same year I was born.  I wondered if I would ever get the point.  I keep it on a shelf in my bedroom with about a thousand other books, but this one is the favorite.  The book was about the boys at Eton College, which I later discovered was the school that both Prince William and Harry attended.  On page 37, there were 5 words that I needed a dictionary for.  In spite of that, I enjoyed the read.   

It was at the thrift store where I found the art book that had inside an Andy Warhol painting titled 129 Die in Jet!  The date on the Andy's reproduction of the New York Mirror was also June 4, 1962, and  I knew that this was the chartered jet crash that had killed so many people with the Atlanta High Museum of Art, including two who were friends of my parents from Druid Hills Baptist Church.  I was  glad that I had been to the thrift store that day.  My Dad was a mechanic at Delta Air Lines when this plane crash happened.  Since I was born a day later, co-workers started to call him "Babe."  They called him "Babe" even after he retired in 1989.   

As you see above, the 129 Die in Jet! painting was used as background in the 20o6 film Factory Girl.  The Factory was the name of Andy Warhol's studio in New York, and the debutante featured in Warhol's shorts from the sixties was the 'girl' Edie Sedgwick.  Yes.  That's Jimmy Fallon holding the camera in the foreground.  

My bedroom was looking like Warhol's apartment.  That's Warhol's apartment above.  Warhol kept all of the paper above to use for his artwork.  Most of it was information published and kept as inspiration for a future project.  Some of it was for the original paper 'whatever,' to be spray mounted on canvas and shellacked.  It all was potentially to become Andy Warhol's IPL.  

One day at a dollar store, I saw a collection of old movies and on the cover of one was the face of my Uncle George "GB" Hollis on the cover of the 1945 DVD film titled "Detour."  GB was Granddad's brother, and I had seen Granddad's face in an episode of The Twilight Zone.  Again, I didn't get the point, but knew it was an old one.  Later, if you continue 'surfing' this website, you'll understand how G.B. and his wife Shank are loaded in the world of Intellectual Property Law.  

And to the left is baby me and also G.B.'s wife Francis "Shank" Love-Hollis.  I first recognized Shank in an episode of Batman, where the actress Estell Winwood played the  villan.  When I saw Winwood's name in the credits of The Magic Sword  (1961) at the dollar store, I took the DVD home and watched the film.  It opens with the words "He's gone again.  He left home hours ago."   

Again, baby me and Shank in this photo in Decatur, GA.  She lived two doors down from us on Glendale.  The late Jackie Burroughs plays Jay Mohr's grandmother in this phenomenal 2005 film titled King's Ransom.  I keep that DVD and about 600 others on a shelf in my bedroom.  Note the baby photo beside the TV in the clip above.   It was amazing how Jackie was able to capture the likeness of Shank for this role.  Estell Winwood could not have done a better job. 

The thrift stores were a lot of fun.  That's also where I got this shirt that was identical to one I had in the 8th grade.  It took years to make it to the point of the 4th of June book, the Warhol painting, the likeness of close relatives found in tv and film (including productions out of Russia too).  The point was DNA, and by clicking the ROYAL ANAGRAMS icon below, you can see how the 'distant cousins' are keeping track through anagrams.  If you have already been there, click on the Margaret Biddle anagram to get to the 'Royal Doppleganger's" tab for more photos.  It's worth it just for that John Sanders Hollis postcard story.  What are the odds that you're related to a royal?  Read the 1914 data that goes back to the 1400's to assess your odds, then click that image if you want to go to the HOME tab, which sets the goal of this web page.  And finally, by scrolling back up and clicking on the "TOOLBOX" that's in Shank/ Kenny baby photo, you can see the articles published in the paper the day that Shank and G.B. were married.  

Navigate

The links below will navigate you through much of the web page here.  ROYAL ANAGRAMS virtually validates all of the work and research you find here.  You will believe everything read and implied when you know the ROYAL ANAGRAMS, plus you are more likely to remember most of it too.  Some stories here started long before the birth of Prince Charles in 1948.  Visit ROYAL ANAGRAMS first, so that you understand the points made at other pages.  From ROYAL ANAGRAMS, visit the HOME page, and read the goals of the LAYORLIAR website.  As you read at the HOME page, one goal is to prove that Alexei Romanov is under the RTH, Sr. grave marker seen below. -- In the HOME icon, Alexei is pictured in striped swim trunks like the 1959 1st edition Barbie.  The guitarist with Cheap Trick wears a similar top in the 1982 hit She's Tight.  I recommend the  Intellectual Property Law (IPL) tab next, which includes the Andy Warhol painting of the newspaper that was published the day I was born.  Plus the book titled Fourth of June from 1962 (my day and year of birth), along with more movie clips and doppelgangers.  After IPL go anywhere. ---- Click the Robert Thomas Hollis (anagram:  "OL' BIRTH SHAMS TO ROLE.") grave marker to read about HR493, which the Genetics Information Non-Discrimination Act, which went into effect on the 100th birthday of RTS, Sr. The DOPPELGANGERS icon is a small introduction of family photos and the look-a-like royals, models, celebs, etc. ---- There is more of that at the TWILIGHT ZONE tab.  Remember what happened to Dan Hollis at Anthony Freemont's birthday party?  The Twilight Zone is peppered with WORD SEARCH puzzles, and information on a few episodes which have already been identified as your favorites. DUGOUT WITH WEIRD SCIENCE is as macabre as TWILIGHT ZONE. From there, tour the pages of TWA847, PAN AM FLIGHT 103,  and ON MY LAST FULL DAY IN EUROPE (PAA73) for airplane drama.  SPY GAMES LEO and RKH tabs are meant to entertain you mostly, but will also assist you in 'decrypting' secret 'babble' planted in movies, tv shows, books, puzzles, etc.  And finally, McDONALD'S BRICK explains the purpose of jots.  Save that tab for the end of your tour of the LAYORLIAR webpage.
