Did you discuss this issue on Monday?

Do you mean Matilda would pay in cash for the art bought from artists, 
before selling it?
Perhaps the technical problem here could be sorted out if any 
transactions actually were to take place outside the building...

What if you had created, say, ten logos and matilda wanted to use them 
for T-shirts, or Christmas gifts ...could they be purchased and how?
An "Art shop" like any art shop on any museum?


anyway, thanks for promoting brainthunders..
