| The
Work |
|
Any
type of ceiling... popcorn, acoustic, vaulted, beamed? |
|
|
Yes. |
|
What
kind of clean up is involved? |
|
|
None.
And we use our exclusive, water-based paint. No lacquers, no
turpentines or thinners. |
|
Can
I do the work in the daytime as well as night? |
|
|
Yes. |
|
Is
it painted on somehow? |
|
|
Yes.
Custom painted, signed and dated... by YOU. |
|
Can
you tell me how? |
|
|
Yes,
of course, when your StarBiz package arrives. |
|
Can
it be painted over? |
|
|
Yes.
But never will be. |
|
Is
it messy? |
|
|
No.
We don't get gallons of paint and a roller and paint the ceiling
black. When it's dark... Your ceiling appears black.
All you'll do is install (paint) the tiny stars with our
equipment, methods and techniques. Most of us don't even
use drop-cloths for most of the job. You'll have thousands
of stars, constellations, etc. in about an hour. |
|
Is
it easy to do? I'm not an artist. |
|
|
Very
easy. There is no drawing involved. |
|
Learning
curve? |
|
|
Your easy to understand manual and DVD and newsletters both
explain the equipment, tools, techniques, methods and secret
tricks.
Full confidence after three practice ceilings. One or two
ceilings is not enough. The magic number is three.
And remember... the paint won't be seen during the day.
It's virtually invisible as it blends right in with an average
white ceiling and walls.
Colorful nebulas,
and other deep sky objects, (while actually interesting only to
a few of your clients) should only be mentioned to them after
your first couple of months. Right now, it's important for you
to make a few thousand dollars; so... you'll want to remain true
to the original STARSCAPES®, and keep it very simple
for now. Joe's work, to this day, remains true to the night sky.
Most
Artist-Illusionists find that their client's are "purists" to
the night sky, and therefore don't wish to veer off of the
original night sky view . Most clients won't want those deep sky
objects, as they may seem too grandiose or even ominous. These
are objects that are not normally seen in the night sky, and,
can take away from the peaceful meandering... the original
stargazing benefits that only the original star filled night sky
can give. Doesn't that make sense?
|
|
Is
it physical work? |
|
|
I
don't know if you CAN do this. You'll have to be able to
do these kinds of actions...
a.)
draw a happy face
b.)
climb a stepladder
c.)
comb your hair
If you can
do these exact things... you'll have fun creating STARSCAPES®.
The Original Stargazing Ceiling™.
|
|
Is
the Work redeeming? |
|
|
Very. |
|
Will
I be taught everything, including all the themes? |
|
|
Everything
will be taught except that the Battle in Space Fantasy only,
requires a set of large stencils. They're $395 for the
complete set of 17. You can order these later... After you
make a few hundred dollars. Make your money before you
spend it. |
|
What
is "The Art of STARSCAPES®" -- your
Customers' Owners Manual? |
|
|
This
informative booklet answers their questions about STARSCAPES®,
shows them common constellations, informs your customers about
the mythological stories behind the constellation creatures and
folks they'll find in their room, basic astronomy lessons,
and tips for better viewing too! |
|
Is
the painting permanent, or will it dim away with time? |
|
|
It's
been on Mr. Petrashek's ceiling for over 18 years with NO
diminished effect. |
|
|
Do you have a site in
my area where I can see a STARSCAPES® finished product and can I
get a sample of the product with directions? |
|
|
The
directions or methodology will be found in your StarBiz Program.
We don't give you the schooling without first being paid to do
so.
Other
than in Arizona, we don't have other offices around the world
and we do not keep a log of everyone around the world who has STARSCAPES®.
Also, it is not the job of the Artist-Illusionist to field calls from other prospective
entrepreneurs like you, to answer your questions and invite you
into their home to show you their bedroom ceiling. Their
job is their own business. Yours will be too. Our
job is the marketing of this business. You are hereby
invited and welcome to visit our international headquarters and
showroom in Arizona.
Also
you might like to purchase the Introductory Package which
contains the Amazing STARSCAPES® Poster for only
$39.95. Then you'll have a better
idea of what STARSCAPES® looks like in your own home. Click

What
happens with the ceiling lamp or fan? |
|
|
We
don't remove them. When the room is dark, the lamp will
not be noticed or in the way of the stars. Same with
ceiling fans. They are not an obstacle. When the fan
is on... It feels like a breeze coming down from the sky. |
|
How
does it look after the job is finished? |
|
|
It
looks like your ceiling has been removed and you are up in the
mountains, away from the city lights, under the most beautiful
and glorious starry sky imaginable. |
|
Does
it get removed, and therefore the need for a lot of ceiling
fixing and new wiring, or what? |
|
|
It can
be painted over, but probably never will be. |
|
When
does it start glowing and creating the wonderful effects? |
|
|
The
glowing begins as soon as the lights are turned off, and it
looks even better after a couple of minutes when your own eyes
have adjusted to the dark. |
|
How
dark should the room be? Does the effect disappear if I
open the door to another room that has the lights on? What
if I have a small night-light? |
|
|
The
darker the room... the better the illusion is. A small bit
of light infiltration will be fine though. If light comes
through the window, simply add a pull-down window shade to it.
Just like getting away from the city lights... You'll see more
stars. |
|
How
do I know that it really works? I mean, when you see so many
money-taking so-called success stories which require a
"minimum start-up sum", you become (at least) a little
suspicious about getting involved into something. |
|
|
We
created the Amazing STARSCAPES®
Introductory
Package & Demonstration Poster for just that reason.
So you could see what it looks like in your own home.
Other than that... hop on a plane and visit us. We get
visitors every week. Or... I guess you'll have to trust
us. |
|
What
tools do I need? |
|
|
The
only tool you'll need to supply is a step-ladder.
Everything else is included for you in your equipment package. |
|
I
live in Bucharest, Romania. How can I get what I need from you
here? |
|
|
Easy.
We've already shipped out to 160 countries. We'll have no
problem shipping to you anywhere in the world. We use DHL
courier express for most shipments. This way both of us
can track the shipment from door step to door step. |
|
What
do I have to order from you later on? |
|
|
Product
Re-orders (our exclusive Creation Painttm) are figured at $2 to $4 per
room. Example: Order enough for 100 various sized
rooms... Only $100 to $200. However, we have no
minimum order requirements... $20 orders are fine. |
|
How
long will it take to get my order, once I place it with you on
your secure server here on the net? |
|
|
We'll
send it to you the very next day. |
|
How
long does the paint glow? |
|
|
Our
Super-3 Creation Paint glows for up to an hour and is brightest
in the first 15 minutes. It slowly fades as the stargazer
falls asleep. Great for younger childrens' rooms.
Makes their little eyes slam shut. Adults like that
benefit. Our Super-10 Creation Painttm glows
all night and is brightest in the first couple of hours.
It glows throughout the night. We create our own paint and
it is formulated specifically for the STARSCAPES®
Artist-Illusionist, and will last for many, many years.
Mr. Petrashek's has been on his own ceiling for over 15 years
with no diminished effect. You can rest assured that not
only will your customers be getting the very best product for
their money; they'll also be getting the very best talent...
YOU. |
The Company |
|
Do
they supply leads? |
|
|
No, but

contacts us and wants
us to find an artist for them, if you're close to them, we'd
give them your contact detals. |

Will
they be around for awhile? |
|
|
In
our 17th year (2008) building a strong base with reps in over
160 countries! |

Are
the testimonials real, and what about the license? |
