He's discovering Lisa Bonet. 
And yeah, looking at pictures of her she's not nearly as hot as I remember.

If you opened a store, I would work for OOP vinyl and just enough food and water to keep me alive. I could even sleep in the store and guard it for you at night.
you should also sell some merch, like t-shirts and dvds and stuff. That would rule. Also, get some endorsements from Cenjewry Media, Jewclear Blast, etc. and see if you can get some promo stuff to put up around the shop.

It's not a real music store without thousands of stickers and patches in a case/display covered in examples.

Did you ever check out the selection at Martyr Music? I'm not sure whether that is better than the average selection, but thought you might be interested either way.Erik said:

Is that a lot? How much do you normally pay?
Let me ask something else. Back in the mid to late 80's, there was a real skill to jacket painting. People would have biker jackets with awesome artwork painted on the back, most of the time it would be album covers. The best one I ever saw was Sepultura's Arise. So anyway, do people still do this?

Patches and stickers should never exceed $3.50, unless they are gigantaur or something.
I don't think I've ever seen a painted jacket before, Arise would take some serious time to get right!

It would take a couple of weeks at minimum. There was a store in London that sold these jackets, and people would go every month or so just to see the new artwork. I don't think they allowed people to buy them straight away just so they could display them. You would obviously pay more for the jacket because you'd pay the artist. I think you could even commission artists with your favourite album covers if you paid up front.NAD said:
I remember seeing a Rust in Peace and Chaos AD jacket too. This stuff was selling, and the store was making good money. It got people in the doors, and even if they didn't buy a jacket, they would buy a CD or something.
The technique (I think) is to trace it on to the leather. But that's just the outline - the inkwork and colouring is the hard part.

Another factoid:
Hooper: For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, was introduced - usually by white artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as Negroes. Now, my book, "White-Hating Coon," don't have none of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's descended from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherfuckers were hiding out in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. He's a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to. Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the realm of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We keepin it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary.
Holden: Ah, come on, that's a bunch of horse-shit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy! You know, he got to fly the Millennium Falcon, what's the matter with you?
Hooper: Who said that?
Holden: I did! Lando Calrissian is a strong role-model for the African-American community!
Hooper: Man, fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle-Tom my pals!

As good as that movie is, it just can't get any better than that scene.
