Selling things I collect to support my music & art

Selling things I collect to support my music & art - Tom Ray's Day 200825

More videos on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/tmray

I collect pop-culture and retro things from the 50s through the 90s and I decided to start selling them online on eBay and Facebook as a way to help support what I do, which is drawing a webcomic and making music with my band Lorenzo's Music. This was something that actually came in pretty handy when it wasn't possible to play shows at the beginning of 2020.

Also in this video, I decided to share an interview that I did for my band Lorenzo's Music. It gives some background on who we are.

Plus, at the end of the video, I draw my daily autobiographical webcomic.

With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca...

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949. In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl. Drawing of the Candy Land kids I did on my phone ☝ https://board-games-galore.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land The game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott , while she was recovering from polio in San Diego, California.
