I was born imagining and expressing what I imagined and the people nearest to me believed I would use that expressive talent to earn a living for myself, but having so much of what I am dwell in a far off distance from the place where my body resides, I needed help. I needed someone to make my contributions useful and meaningful. I needed someone to translate what I was given to express into something tangible, tradable, redeemable for that which means a great deal to them. I needed someone who would care for me to sale what I expressed. When that person failed to arrive in my life, I lost trust of human beings and sought refuge in machines, I began needing machines. I needed a marketing machine, to promote what I expressed and be a buffer between me and the business of what I produce. I needed a machine to afford me the ability to do what I do best, imagine. In the community that I come from there is no plainly visible, readily accessible support system for people like me, who for the most part spend their time imagining. As I developed the skills that would sustain my physical form, I also learned how to use the tools and techniques to express that which was imagined, but not for myself as much as for others. As I developed and grew in skills and with the gift I was blessed and / or cursed with, a vivid imagination, I also was privy to witness that which I imagined come to fruition, but not in the communities from which I came. I became discouraged and stopped expressing what I imagined in the ways that brought me pleasure. Instead I began to focus what I learned to be of benefit to people like myself. I became the marketing machine I needed for myself. I became an anomaly. I am the Urban Crop Circle Project.

The Urban Crop Circle Project is a collective of all the services needed to successfully promote, market and sale the works of creative individuals. Communication tools, commerce systems, & delivery solutions. Urban Crop Circle Project is created for the creative person who has limited knowledge, resources and support in getting the best return from their investment of self into the marketing of what they produce. Urban Crop Circle Project designs, develops, builds and employs the most effective tools and techniques for the least cost, to promote and bring the biggest return for the least money and effort spent away from what creative people love to do most, create. Urban Crop Circle Project understands that for many what they produce is an extension of self and for others a releasing of what is trapped inside until expressed. Urban Crop Circle Project also understands that unlike the majority of people, what the product or service many offer the world is themselves. To those very special people Urban Crop Circle Project has a high level of compassion and a need to serve in helping them achieve the success that brings them acceptance in the communities of the majority.

Urban Crop Circle Project is based in the principal of incorporated ownership.
Meaning everyone intimately involved in a product or service, is wholly responsible for the success of that product or service, be they producer, seller, transporter, installer or end user. Urban Crop Circle Project counts people and what they bring to the success of a thing before it counts costs and earnings. Intimately involved people market or horde that which they are intimate with, especially in regards to extensions of relationships, the humanities, and persons who create or provide creative products and services tend to be very protective of self and those extensions of self. Patrons of the arts, especially those that are very close to the artist are known to cherish what the artist makes as an extension of the artist. A fatal flaw is when commerce from the trade of a thing stops or is limited to just a couple of hands, as it determines the gain potential of what is produced. This is the separation between fine art and commercial art. Once a thing reaches its end user (or consumer if you will) that thing stops having real property value. No matter what it was sold or traded for in its initial transaction or how precious it is to the purchaser. If what that thing was traded for never returns to the hands of the purchaser, it cannot be an investment.
Urban Crop Circle Project has realized that in making fine works of art into commercial works of marketing, the value of the original work increases in value, because of exposure.

Mathematically there can only be one original of any one thing, but copies of that one thing have value depending on the reason the original was copied and it is multiplied by the number of unique people that experience that thing. Incorporated ownership is the collective use of what members of a group individually produce to generate success for that group.
Just as one skilled person with enough money could build and maintain an entire car themselves and it is possible for them to even make their own fuel. That car has no real property value unless that person desires to trade it for something else. Conversely it takes many people to produce, sale, maintain and use many cars. Generally the system is the more produced the less per unit cost. This more often than not requires more people involved in production, sales and usage. It may even lower the cost to the end user. For the manufacturing producer it is important to reach the break even point fast enough to pay for creation of the original. Still there is only one hand made original, the rest are copies and the copies pay for the creation of the original. The same holds true for the works of the humanities. Since the mid nineteen eighties, the business model has been employee ownership. Because ownership makes import of success of what is produced by the collective an individual matter. When a work of art is sold directly from the producer of that work to the end user of that work without the intent to trade that work, the value of that work stops.
Which means:
(1) The producer of original works must constantly produce in order to sustain the resources that allow them to produce original works.
(2) The producer of works must stop producing in order to find more end users of original works if they are to continue producing works or find other means of gaining resources, (i.e. get a job)
(3) The producer of original works always must work from a deficit or price their works into a position that affords them the ability to purchase surplus. Which means the producer of works must again stop producing works in order to learn the methods of selling their work and again find a constant supply of new end users.
Or, position themselves to sale copies of their original works. Copies can be traded for a smaller amount in a shorter time and bring equal or greater amounts of value to the producer, and if the original is for sale the copies can increase its value by increased exposure.

Here’s how the Urban Crop Circle Project works, we offer marketing tools so that creative individuals can promote and sale copies of their works increasing exposure and value. We make it cost effective by promoting the products and services of everyone involved in a project. Collective promotion is nothing new. It’s how TV game shows and soap operas make it to the air. It’s how the Oprah Winfrey Show is paid for. I fact it works so well that audience admission is free, guests are paid and a crew of over a hundred people are pretty much rich. What is new is how we make it work on a small scale, especially when everyone wants to be paid at the point of exchange of goods or services. Someone has to be willing to give something away, that’s the Urban Crop Circle Project. We design the marketing campaign for free, we cost it out free. Urban Crop Circle Project gives a break down of how it all will work. Urban Crop Circle Project provides some of the marketing materials at no cost to participants of a project. The practices are proven to be effective marketing techniques even in a bad economy.
Effective marketing and promotion is time consuming and expensive. Graphic Design can easily exceed $100 per hour, marketing campaigns with time lines, cost analysts and return estimates can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
Not very many individuals can afford the tools, the time or the professional service costs of building a marketing campaign that will guarantee a minimum return, Urban Crop Circle Project can’t afford not to be that bridge of assurance.
Our philosophy is built on the individual’s benefit to contribute to the process of a collective success.

Here’s how it doesn’t work. “I’ve tried to work with other people and they screwed me, I got stuck doing everything and it all fell apart.”
“I don’t like working with other people they steal your ideas, they try to compete with you when they should be doing what you need them to do”
“I just want to get paid.” “I don’t want to be responsible to all those people”
“I want to be the star” “What if…”
“I have to do what I feel when I feel it”
“I don’t have time for all that, I’ve got to get this done” Any of these statements familiar? Urban Crop Circle Project does not allow that energy into its projects. In fact we’ll quit a project as soon as that energy introduces itself into a project. Failure should never be a prolonged ordeal it should be merciful, swift and as painless as possible. “You are the Weakest Link Goodbye!”, “OMG I’m sorry, did you just say this is your project? Okay, handle your business, bye!” “You did at some point say this was all about you, cool. You’ll have to live with that!” “Wait, wait, wait! No money exchanged, right? I never asked for any money right? I asked that you work with me to make this whole thing a success, right? So if I walk out now, we’re even? Just checking.”
Urban Crop Circle Projects control issue stems from Ulysses Newkirk 2nd’s control issue. I believe in striping everyone of their ability to control the individuals in a project of any power over the individuals in a project. If a team member’s focus is not the success of the project they can’t help but to expose themselves. The rule is they go or Urban Crop Circle Project goes. Without warning or discussion, we’ll be so kind as to leave you with the tools we invested in your success. And we’ll bet on their failure, not because of our absence, but because of their failure to be a part of the collective success.
Ulysses has a reputation of being the first rat off of sinking ship; he also has a rep as a fine captain that goes down with the ship in a blaze of combative glory, Ulysses brings that to the Urban Crop Circle Project as a business service with a promise, if Urban Crop Circle Project walks out or quits any project, the one time rule applies. After one warning as to the critical condition of this project and the next warning will result in failure and at that point we must be leaving, thank you.

Urban Crop Circle Project takes to heart the adage we all stand together or we all fall apart. So we take no monies until a project is completed and delivered, not just when our task is done. It’s risky, because people are people. But it is a statement of Urban Crop Circle Project’s faith in your success and its contribution to that success.
