                      ART MATRIX FRACTAL SECONDS SALE

     We have some tee shirts, sweat shirts, and tote bags which we are
selling below our cost of production, for the most part at prices 50%
BELOW OUR COST.  Images are hand silk-screened in a beautiful array of
colors.

     Please do me a big favor before ordering.  Look over the whole
list.   When you are ready to place your order do the following:

         1.  Mention which GROUP you are ordering from; A, B, or C.
             Of course, you can order across multiple groups but be sure
             to mention what group each item is from.

         2.  Where you have a choice don't forget to put down what SIZE
             you want and whether you have a second choice size which
             you are willing to take.

         3.  Tell me how many of each you want. Mention whether or not
             you are willing to take multiple copies of the same shirt.
             If you say, "I want 3 large shirts"  you may well get 3 of
             the same.  If you are going to pay with a check or money
             order, I prefer that you say it is OK for me to send
             multiple copies of the same shirt otherwise I will have to
             monkey around with writing you refund checks and frankly
             at this price I don't want to be bothered.  I will always
             strive to send you exactly what you want but since we are
             dealing with a limited supply here and because I can't
             forsee what kind of a response we will get, I may have to
             make subtitutions.

         4.  On your order don't forget your name, address, zip, phone
             number, (work and home if possible), and e-mail address.
             I would prefer to ship to your work address, a UPSable
             address is appreciated.  I will, however ship to your home
             or PO Box if you prefer.

         5.  Once you have done the above you can either send us an
             e-mail with your credit card number, DO NOT FORGET THE
             EXPIRATION DATE, or you can send a personal check or
             money order payable to ART MATRIX to this address:

                        ART MATRIX
                        PO BOX 880
                        ITHACA, NY 14851-0880
                        USA


Other important notes:  The postage rates listed below are for US only.
                        (If you are not in the US you can e-mail for
                        proper amounts.  But be sure to say exactly
                        what you want to order so I can weigh it out
                        and give you the proper cost.  Also state
                        whether you prefer air or sea prices or both).

          For the USA - You only need pay the $3.40 p&h fee once, each
                        additional item in the same order is roughly
                        $1.00 more.  So, if you order one item from
                        Group A and one from Group B, the postage is
                        $4.40.

                        New York State Residents must add 7% sales tax
                        on total amount INCLUDING POSTAGE.  This is the
                        law.  If you write me a New York check and don't
                        include sales tax I will return your check to
                        you.


                        If you are unsatisfied with the products you may
                        return them for a full refund including return
                        postage.


     That said.  Thanks for your attention.  Don't forget to follow
directions, it cuts down on the e-mail.

                             Description

Tee Shirts - Shirts are 100% cotton, heavyweight, mainly Hanes Beefy-T's
             The two styles available have a different fractal on the
             front and back of each shirt.  They are seconds because
             they were misprinted or the wrong brand of paint was used.
             The paint brand is too conservative in color for our taste.
             In most instances, I doubt that you would be able to tell
             that these shirts were seconds.  One style is available in
             Large and X-tra Large, and a very small amount of XXL's,
             the other is available in XL only.

Sweat Shirt - Sweat shirts are a 50%-50% cotton/poly blend.  These are
              very nice 9oz shirts with set-in sleeves, i.e. sleeves are
              attached as they are on tee shirts, straight up and down,
              not on a diagonal. Only one style of sweat shirt
              available in one size, XL.  There is a different fractal
              image on both sides.  These are seconds because of the
              paint brand.

Tote Bags -   These are wonderful sturdy tote bags. They are 18" high
              16" across, with a base of 6" by 12".  They are meant for
              grocery shopping to replace the plastic and paper bags.
              I have been using them for years and they are still in
              excellent condition.  There is a different fractal on both
              sides and a slogan under one of the images which says,
              "Clean Air, Clear Water, A Green Earth And Peace. Is That
              Too Much To Ask?"  The letters are 1/2" high and the
              whole slogan occupies a 2 1/2" by 8 1/2" space underneath
              the 10" by 13" fractal image.  These totes are seconds
              because the printing was done over deep wrinkles in the
              fabric. Some are simply misprinted.  Clearly, neither of
              these problems effect the functionality of the bags in
              any way.

              Fractal Products Price List - Non-Seconds

                             GROUP B

     I have some first tee shirts which are printed on one side only in
sizes SMALL and MEDIUM only.  They are beautiful.  Nothing is wrong with
them it is just that we stopped selling shirts printed on one side only.
I would think that they would make great seasonal gifts for kids because
they are so colorful.  These ARE NOT children sizes.  They are adult
sizes but many kids like big clothing.

Tee shirt printed one side                    2 for $5.00 + $3.40 p&h
Additionals in same order                     2 for $5.00 + $1.00 p&h

                             Description

Tee Shirt - 100% heavyweight cotton.  Approximately 5 designs available.
            Printed one side only.  Sizes Small and Medium only.

                             GROUP C

     Lastly, I have some shirts that were our orginal effort to produce
silk-screened fractals.  They are not as slick as what we have now but
they are attractive in their own right and are ideal for that favorite
young kid you know.  They are printed on one side
only.  Only one style available, size small. 100% heavy weight cotton.


Tee shirt printed one side only                3 for $5.00 + $3.40 p&h
Additionals in same order                      3 for $5.00 + $1.00 p&h
