Artists and artisans
With the commoditisation of paintings, sculptures and other wall furniture that one can buy on Etsy, a question pops up: Are we artists or artisans? I think our main concern as creatives should be to first have a nice little talk with ourselves over some coffee and maybe a bagel if you don't care about your carb intake and figure out the basics of what our craft is all about.

The ROI of an artwork
During a conversation I had with a friend of mine about a show I got invited to in the summer, she mentioned ROI and how her goal was to produce the most effective show with the least amount of capital. And while the last 15 years or so have been predicated on me making as much as possible for as little as I could afford, something clicked and it really got me thinking.
April 23, 2019
Creating value as an artist
As far as my hippy side is concerned: Art is a miracle, that has allowed the human experience to grow well above its immediate physical needs and given us the ability to build this magnificent wonder that we call society. But the value of art is also something that, since the invention of money around 500 billion years ago (give or take), has become increasingly important and evermore so in today's capitalist society.

How to profile a potential gallery
Today I want to share how I approach my gallery hunting; what helped me in the past and what didn't and what I do, when focusing on getting representation. Do keep in mind that everybody has a different way of doing it — and while there are tried and tested methods that usually work, not everything ever does. The goal is simple: get signed by a gallery.
April 21, 2019
A strategical approach to getting a gallery — perspective
Yesterday I wrote about tactics — cold calling — and the effects such an approach might produce, but today it's all about strategy. But there is a lot of confusion going around about differentiating tactics and strategy and to start off today's blunder, I would like to address this issue myself. Sun Tzu (the great Chinese general) described the difference in his ever-more popular book The Art of War like this: "All men can see the tactics I use to conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which great victory is evolved."
April 20, 2019
A tactical approach to getting a gallery — cold-calling
I've talked a lot about the particularities of what a good application should look like and how to find galleries that resonate with your work, and now I want to get really tactical and try to make a roadmap of things to consider, when searching for representation.
April 19, 2019
Starting out in the art world
The only true tactic that ever worked for me in the beginning and has allowed me to periodically get invited to collaborate with curators and exhibit my work was that I started applying to any open-call that I could find online and that fit my work. A great website that has worked for me was CuratorSpace — focusing primarily on the UK.
April 18, 2019
Don't let your CV gather dust
You created a professional portfolio of your work and have a nice, well-prepared CV to compliment it in your application. But what now?! Before going into anything tactical, I want to talk perspective.
April 17, 2019
Creating a great artist portfolio
Similar to a CV, the portfolio of works is an important document to have as a creative; not only does it make your life easier when applying to open calls, but allows for an incredible amount of introspection and reflection on your personal brand, your preferences and just what you and your art are all about! You can also download my portfolio of work from around 2016 on this link to as an example if you'd like.
April 16, 2019
Politics, not colour theory
An interesting article popped-up a few days ago on Artnet, stating that predominantly red or blue monochrome artworks sell for considerably higher prices than all the other colour of the rainbow. And, while quite an interesting read, it did get me thinking about who exactly would be able to benefit from such information? Link to Sara Thornton's brilliantly written book about the art world. *Affiliate link (thanks for supporting the channel).
April 15, 2019
Video as CV and medium for artists
Yesterday I tried to break down the artist CV and all its features, but I just couldn't stop feeling like I needed to address video too! So in today's blog I would like to focus on video as a more informal, but incredibly powerful tool, to propagate your art and creative message.
April 14, 2019
How to write a good artist CV
A well prepared CV is the corner stone of any application, but unlike financial advisors, marketeers and other professionals, artists can't really do much with the standard form that so many others use — aka. we usually aren't employed anywhere and McDonalds doesn't really count. You can also download my CV here, if you'd like to see how what I yap about looks in real life.
April 13, 2019
Begin your search for gallery representation as soon as possible
Yesterday's blog dabbled a bit in talking about things to keep in mind when searching for gallery representation and after a lot of feedback from all of you reading my blunders I decided to expand on it and provide a more in-depth look into what tactics could land you your first gallery gig. So expect this week's blogs to be focused solely on this topic.
April 12, 2019
How to find gallery representation
The amount of CVs and portfolios the average gallery receives on a daily basis is immense, so having a good tactic when trying to approach one is imperative. Even though we live in the digital age, the more or less most important factor to take into consideration when trying to get signed is where your targeted gallery is located. Because even though you could theoretically email your portfolio to any place in the world, the majority of gallerists appreciate artists that are in close proximity to where their institution operates and this is because of several factors.
April 11, 2019
A reminder that we're living in magical times
Today's mother's day in Slovenia and while unrelated to art it got me thinking about our ability to do what we do. Without a mom, we obviously wouldn't be able to exist, but there is a bigger, more universal provider that also has an enormous part to play in our ability to work in the creative field. Without the enormous advances in our society — both technological and social — our ability to live off selling anything on Etsy (even the existence of Etsy itself) would've been impossible to imagine.
April 10, 2019
The reason why galleries and agents exist
I feel there is a misunderstanding in the art world, that may or may not be a reality for you, depending on where you are and how strong your local art market is. But in Slovenia and many other countries, it is very much an enormous issue. A lot of the artists I know do not get the real function of a gallery or agent. Their beliefs are that such people are financial vultures; praying on the poor unsuspecting artists who are trying to produce great work and butchering their creative passion with turning something sacred into a commodity item on sale.
April 9, 2019
The importance of having a core narrative in your art
The number of people producing art has never been higher and with everybody including your aunt trying to sell their work and get exhibited, only the best actually manage to do so in the end. But the issue with art is that beauty is incredibly subjective and there are more concepts and ideas than there are beliefs in the world, so defining the best people in the art business is incomparably harder to do than finding the winners of any sports competition.
April 8, 2019
Podcasts are the new blogs and why they're a great medium for artists
If in 2007 blogs were all the rage and almost anybody that was somebody online had one, today it's podcasts. And with platforms like Anchor.fm offering free hosting and distribution, there really are no more excuses from getting on the bandwagon yourself!
April 7, 2019
Your website is more than just an online portfolio
Today, everybody has a webpage; from the free options at Wordpress, Wix or other web providers to the more sophisticated self-hosted options that I would encourage anyone with a free account to have a look into. But it's not having a website that is important, because it's like having a nice new set of expensive brushes and colours; owning them doesn't make you produce a painting and showing them to your friends wont get you far either. You have to use them, and the same goes for your webpage.
April 6, 2019
The importance of having your own mailing list
Even though mailing lists seem like a thing of the past, they are still an irreplaceable building block of any creative business. Regardless of whether you're writing daily blogs like me, or if you use your mailing list to sell or notify people about your work and exhibitions — if you're a creative, you should start building your list.
April 5, 2019
How to automate your social media and get more chances to be seen
Posting a lot on your media platform of choice and doing so on a regular basis is a must if you wish to propagate your message and your art into the world and don't have cash to burn for Facebook or Instagram ads, but it takes a lot of time and becomes incredibly tedious to do after a while!
April 4, 2019
Should you frame your work?
After spending months or days (or minutes — for all of you speed painters out there), it's finally time to decide how to present your work! And the big question is: Should you invest in buying a nice frame to put around your work and make it "more presentable" or should you just leave it as it is?
April 3, 2019
How to talk about your art
Regardless if you paint, sculpt, make experimental video installations or are a political performance artist, the main goal for all of us is to express ourselves. But while we may be really good at making art, presenting it is an entirely different skill to have and in today's video I want to talk about how to spread your creative message to your followers and fans! *Original video
April 2, 2019
Love what you do?
They say you have to love what you do, because you will be doing it for the rest of your life, but my question really is, if this is a sustainable way of looking at creation and life in general, or just a generalisation that might work for many, but fail to help the rest?
April 1, 2019
The problem with critical art
Yesterday evening I attended an exhibition opening titled "Happiness for you and your family". It was a show about the problems of immigration and deportation and tried to showcase the issues of inequality among people in our region. While the cause is surely a valiant one, the whole execution of the message was far from it and the issue lays not with the message, but the context in which it was presented — the gallery.
March 31, 2019
Marketing is great, but don't overdo it
Speaking from personal experience, the only really important thing people told me to do as an artist was marketing. But while this may be true, it shouldn't become the only thing we do as creatives.
March 30, 2019
Connect to get more out of your ad budget
If you're just starting out, being part of an artist group is a wonderful place to be for many reasons. A group of likeminded or diverse individuals that practice a similar craft can be a powerhouse of creation, because of the mutual support and combined knowledge of all of its members. But apart from the obvious creation of a think tank, where ideas can flourish much more easily than if we are going at it alone, a group can give us an incredible edge over the competition when promoting our work.
March 29, 2019
The best artworks never become dull
While each person is different in almost innumerable ways, we all follow the same basic modes of operation and have the same needs, so knowing these needs and understanding them on a deep level doesn't just make us immensely better artists, but also incredibly proficient spectators. And to excel in art, one has to be both.
March 28, 2019
How to talk to paintings the right way
To experience art is to have a conversation with it and with ourselves in a safe place, where we can really immerse ourselves into the depths of our soul, only to come back a bit stronger, a bit more content and without fear of such a venture taking a long-lasting toll on our mental or physical wellbeing.
March 27, 2019
Overcoming creative drought
We all have probably experienced that "click", a moment when things suddenly fall into place and the big picture finally becomes clear. These "clicks" tend to happen randomly and it may seem like no real method is behind the convoluted internal workings of the mind — but as with everything in life, our cognition does follow a certain mode of operation.
March 26, 2019
Artist statements and presentations
A few days ago the Frieze Magazine's Twitter profile posted this thought: "Art world addicted to unpaid work, survey finds." with a link to their article. Packed with gems like this: "working for long hours was regarded as a test of commitment, such that working contracted hours is perceived as not wanting to go the extra mile", the short text made me think. Is there really no better way of testing people's dedication and love for their work than making them work after-hours for free?
March 25, 2019
Serious art vs. having fun
Rather than taking everything we do overly seriously, I believe we should have fun with what we do first, because we can still get an important message across even if we're having a blast — something my former self could never agree with.
March 24, 2019
Don't be a wandering generality, be a meaningful specific
Borrowed from the late Zig Ziglar, the title may ring true to anyone, not only artists and creators. But unlike accountants, bricklayers or welders, the scope of what our craft can be is immense and it's much easier for us to get carried away into the unknown.
March 23, 2019
It's never going to feel like you know what you're doing, but that's not the point
Regardless of how proficient a writer, painter, or sculptor becomes, no matter how much knowledge they gather up over the years, it will probably never really feel enough. The feeling of having to, but not exactly knowing how to be just a bit better, will stay and gnaw on the soul forever. And that's fine.
March 22, 2019
How to work for free the smart way
We all have probably encountered this scenario in our lives: After months of nothing you finally get an opportunity to work with a business or individual that needs some creative work done and after the first coffee you both really get each others vibe, but when you pop the big question of monetary compensation, they look at you like you just butchered the collaboration with a knife.
March 21, 2019
There's good art and then, there's great art
They say good art captivates you, but great art can transform your life. But like with any sales pitch, the real question is: how much is the premium of going from good to great really going to cost me?!
March 20, 2019
The difference between looking good and being good
The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord is a wonderful and angry book that speaks about how our society has diverged from the authentic human experience of life into an artificial spectacle of neon colours, action movies and weird romantic novels about glittery vampires and the glorification of sexual deviance amongst the ultra rich.
March 19, 2019
Does having skill make you an artist?
"Study Finds Artists Become Famous through Their Friends, Not the Originality of Their Work" is the title of an interesting article, published on Artsy a few days ago. While a bit of an overstatement, it has a lot of truth to it.
March 18, 2019
The hierarchy of needs and how Maslow could help your art sales
Be it as a person, a society, a business or a local community; art gives us the tools to express ourselves and to connect, create common identity and express our power. And if we see it as such, it gives us a much easier time understanding why the majority of people don't collect art or just don't give art the same importance in their lives as we do. They just don't feel the need for it.
March 17, 2019
The price of commodities and art
Unlike our average commodities, art's value isn't judged by the materials used, neither by the labour it took to create it, because a quickly made blotchy cheap-paint-on-rubbish-canvas Rothko painting will be much more expensive to buy than a Koons Balloon Dog, that actually took months and thousands of man hours to create and is made out of premium, long lasting materials.
March 15, 2019
Maybe the market doesn't decide?
Art is obviously subjective and its prices even more so, but the big question is: If Pollock's work can be more than 10 times as expensive as a Titian, does that mean it's also 10x better? And if so, better at what?
March 14, 2019
3 things that could help your social media presence
We shouldn't just be painting pictures on canvases and Fabriano paper, we should be painting mental images onto the minds of our followers and soon-to-be-followers. Only then can we ever succeed in expanding our reach to the people who really care and genuinely like our work.
March 13, 2019
What to do if you want to sell your work
Regardless of whether you wish to get signed by a gallery or attack the market directly via online stores and social media, don't think too much about how your work looks compared to all the other similar creators, focus instead on your message and personal story.
March 12, 2019
What you can do to get exhibited
The art market is a volatile place for investors, and these are the people gallerists cater to, so there are certain check boxes your work has to tick in order for them to decide to sign and represent you and your work.
March 11, 2019
Artist statements and presentations
Taking the time to create a great artist statement will help you clarify your wording, so you can give a short and captivating presentation anytime you find yourself in front of an interested buyer, are giving an interview or just get asked by a random person at a party somewhere about what you do.

3 tips for making better art
As art is subjective, we can never really take full control over how a viewer of our show or a customer who bought one of our pieces will understand the work's narrative. A description of the work might help, but some actually prefer to make up their own mind about what a particular art piece means to them on a strictly personal level, rather than listening to the artist describe what it should mean. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
March 9, 2019
Artist as genius
As humans, we couldn't have been more proud of the lineage of artistic mastery that our planet had created over the years, and we had every reason for it. From the Ancient Greeks to Giotto and Titian, then Caravaggio, Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso … all geniuses in the craft, that shaped how we perceive reality itself. But then came Duchamp.
March 8, 2019
You may not believe this, but this life hack works every time!
There is a force, that governs how we go about our lives; Meal deal or a nice salad? Wake up at 5:00 or snooze until 10:00. Get yet another outfit or just stay content with the clothes we have? Go to work, building your dreams or help build the dreams of someone else?
March 7, 2019
Get more studio visits by finding the one
Unlike the still common belief that making great art will attract people who might like and even buy it, the reality for most of us is the exact opposite. You can create the most beautiful piece of art, but if you are unable to get it "out there", your chances for an exhibition or sale — even just a retweet — are slim to none.
March 6, 2019
How much is your art actually worth?
Even just talking about a particular piece of art differently can alter its value; consider if you described a meticulously carved wood sculpture in an enthusiastic and powerful way, created a professional presentation environment in your studio and really pointed out all the incredible traits of the materials you used — their history, origin and connection with nature. Now compare it to just telling an interested collector, that it was made out of a tree.
March 5, 2019
Make art for everyone and you will reach no-one
"The Most and Least Wanted Paintings" was a project done between 1995 and 97 by the artists Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid. Their premiss was simple: Go out and ask a bunch of art consumers and non-consumers what they like. Take a large sample of their aesthetic preferences — colour, style, size, motif etc. — and make an average assessment of what the most (and least) popular works of art are and why. Then, make such art to be sold back to the masses and buy a yacht (allegedly).
March 4, 2019
Art prints could earn you some income on the side, but you already knew that
Many companies that produce some form of tangible goods, usually tend to diversify their offering into segments: entry level, core package and premium. I believe we artists should take note and try to implement such strategies into our own business. If for example you only make large portraits that take you a really long time to make, you probably also charge a good amount of money for them.

Velvet Buzzsaw makes a good point with a bad delivery
I have finally found the time to watch the new arty horror movie Velvet Buzzsaw. The trailer, like the whole movie, really intrigued me in the first half — until badly executed demonic powers started killing people — from there it kinda went downhill …
March 1, 2019
The importance of personal connections in art
We're all living on the web now. We talk through texts, we speak to each other via phone and we follow our friends and enemies on Instagram, so we know what holiday locations to pick next. The state of the contemporary man and woman is always connected, always plugged into the ether that is the collective consciousness of man.
February 28, 2019
Flourishing, not just surviving
No sane business owner has ever said: "Let's sell this doohickey here at a 10% loss and make absolutely no calculations as to how much we need to make to stay afloat with our rent payment and other expenses." But artists on the web debate whether or not to charge 2€ or 3€ an hour in places where the minimal hourly rate is about 10€.
February 27, 2019
Selling bollocks in a can
From urinals to canned pop and machines that produce it, the idea of what can be called art has been stretched in the last decade to more than just the style a painting is made in or how a sculpture is chiselled. But the ever present question, apart from "Why?" is: "Where is the line?"
February 26, 2019
Arty language
While browsing the web yesterday I came across a Twitter post from whoever manages the The Art Market Twitter account, sharing an article on Artsy about new art and design fair in Brooklyn called Object & Thing, and the thing that stuck out like a fat splinter in my pinky was the language they used …
February 25, 2019
Find the time to document while you create
It doesn't matter if you're the CEO of Nike, a student at the Academy or jobless and receiving welfare — a day only has 24 hours. If then, you want to make something out of your life, time management is imperative.
February 24, 2019
Personas in art
Around the year 2011 Jayson Musson, an artist from New York invented Hennessy Youngman — a persona one could describe as the homie of the art world.
February 23, 2019
Art and artificial intelligence
A few months ago Christie's held the first-ever auction of art created by artificial intelligence. A work of art made by a computer algorithm called GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) titled Portrait of Edmond Belamy, sold for roughly 380,000 EUR! Needless to say, the sale sparked a controversy among critics.
February 22, 2019
What we can do for others
While it's wonderful to enjoy our process and to like talking to other artists and art lovers about philosophy and the meaning of life, it's really the simple questions that may get overlooked sometimes.
February 21, 2019
We are entering the age of voice again
Here's a shocker I realised today: YouTube has been around for almost two decades! And websites like Blogger and Facebook even more than that, so social media and its power to potentially reach millions of people has been around the block for quite some time now, but with all mediums, there slowly but steadily come changes to the way people consume their content.
February 20, 2019
Fine art and genuine art
I had an interesting conversation on Facebook the other day about the struggle we artists tend to go through because of the nature of our work. Nothing to do with having to be sad and crazy to make art (a dumb myth if I ever heard one), but about the divide between the upper echelon of art consumption that is the auction market and the low end of our world, the regular Joes and Jolenes, that are selling their art on Etsy or Saatchi Art.
February 19, 2019
The irony of doing what you love
Lately I have been listening to and reading a bunch of books on time management, work ethics and just all-around self-fulfilment and motivational literature and a thought crossed my mind yesterday, while thinking about us artists and the work we do.
February 18, 2019
Art is a mirror to our character
The spectator is the one who decides what a particular piece of art is all about. Depending on how much we're educated, what kind of an emotional state we're in and if we just want to cock around a gallery, trying to persuade fellow gallery visitors that we invented art history itself, the meaning of a particular art piece — the same art piece — will change drastically.
February 17, 2019
The attentive spectator
We use art to find similar souls amongst the masses of people; those who understand beauty and aesthetics in the way we do, those that are sensitive to similar impulses, that laugh at the same jokes and cry to the same saddening tunes. But many of us misunderstand how our soul-searching actually happens, when art is involved.
February 16, 2019
The 3 building blocks of art
We continue this series of podcasts revolving around the question: "What makes something art?" with a small dissection of what the phenomenon of art actually is. And as we learned in the previous one, it all comes down to these three: the Artist, the Artwork and the Viewer.
February 15, 2019
What makes something art?
Just as everybody felt that Duchamp's wall toilet conundrum was almost flushed out of the art world's system, cleansed by Richard Long's walking escapades, Ed Ruscha's thorough documentation of the Sunset Strip and others, here came Andy and presented the next big shocker: The Brillo Box.
February 14, 2019
Perception and communication Part III
After yesterday's podcast we have come to the conclusion that a mere word or image does not have any intrinsic meaning accompanying it. As weird and illogical as this might seem, we must never forget that every time we look at a painting or hear a word, we might forget about the most important part of the equation — us.
February 13, 2019
Perception and communication Part II
Continuing yesterday's podcast post about communication, I would like to focus on a crucial point that I see might well be one of the greatest misunderstandings of communication in art — syntax does not equal semantics.
February 12, 2019
Perception and communication Part I
The way communication happens is actually amazing because of the weird and maybe illogical nature of how information "travels". While we may imagine invisible vibrations traveling through space from one's mouth to another one's ears and carrying bits of thought, the interesting fact is that it actually doesn't work that way and that thoughts can't really travel. At least not in the way we'd expect them to.
February 11, 2019
Silicon chips and curious ways of saying "I like you"
Every small tribe has their own language, and the variations between Classical Academic Painter English, Conceptual Feminist English and Modernist Abstract Expressionist English are so abundant and so distinct, that one could easily presume that neither of them would really get what the other is talking about. They might hear the words, and they might even understand their intentions, but their true aspirations, the basic emotions that guide them on their path are extremely hard to understand.
February 10, 2019
Fake it 'till you make it?
Colourful ties, fancy watches and flashy rings. Or maybe a new Apple computer, giant Wacom Cintiq tablet and a nice new mirrorless Nikon Z7. Whatever the means, the end goal is always the same; if we look the part and talk the talk we'll be walking the walk. But I do agree with Gary Vaynerchuk, when he speaks about faking it until we make it. He blatantly says, that the only people we will fool by dressing up and pretending to be the tough guy or gal in any business, is other fakers.
February 9, 2019
Specialisations and all-you-can-eat buffets
We creatives are curious by nature, which makes us lifetime learners; constantly trying out new things and always expanding our skillset. Everyday we find something new, some spot of life where we haven't ventured before and usually the first thought that comes to my mind, when in such a place, is how can I understand this or that? How can I conquer this newly found interest and grow?
February 8, 2019
Getting good at something is easy, getting great, not so much
I remember when I first started to draw the human body; it didn't really start with a full nude or portrait or any body part for that matter, it started with boxes and a long stick, so that I could get the hang of perspective and of simple shapes. Then we built our way up to ovals and vases and flowers and in the end my professor at that time brought a large schematic plaster head, that was made up of only flat surfaces. And we drew for months to get to that head, so this was no weekend trip to becoming Rembrandt!
February 7, 2019
Sure it's smart, but how does it make you feel?
Art can be beautiful. It can be ugly or just plain disgusting. The variety of emotions that artists can produce with a few brushstrokes is astounding. But do we actually look at our work from such a perspective or can our emotions sometimes get sidetracked (or even more often) by the concepts and ideas that our works should communicate?
February 6, 2019
Open calls - Art on demand in the 21st century
One of the more underlying issues of open calls is the sheer amount of artists, who can now apply to such open calls and with such a supply, naturally the demand becomes more picky, meaning the specifics of each open call don't just stop at "only painting submissions" or "we only accept video and new media works" but can be as narrow as "only blockchain-based figural video works, not longer than 2 min will be accepted".
February 5, 2019
Art isn't really a team sport, but what if it were?
What if we wanted to play basketball in the NBA, but decided that, because of financial constraints or other reasons, we just won't be looking for any other players for our team and just going at it solo. So we'll just go play a few games, try to score a few points, maybe even win a game (maybe we just get lucky or maybe we're just that good at it) and after we get some money from sponsors or brand deals, we'll then go and get some new teammates, that we can afford. Is this a reasonable approach? But why do we think that the same plan will work in other games, like the game of being an artist in 2019?
February 4, 2019
Why it' s risky to be a creative without a morning routine
The best portraitist will know you better than you know yourself and show that self in the painting she is producing, the best photographer will show the true character of whoever he is portraying and so will the musician and the actor. But while empathy is indispensable when connecting with others, when do we know we have overstepped the line and subconsciously assimilated some small, unnoticeable part of the person we were connecting with. As the famous quote from the bible goes: "love your enemies". But what if you end up in love with them?

Paris and her Paparazzi Machine
Because you could be making the most wonderful umbrellas the world has ever seen, but if you decide sell them in the Atacama dessert, you might just start believing that no-one needs and umbrella, while the guy in front of Notre Dame sells hundreds of cheap chines-made ones to tourists, the second it starts to rain in Paris.
February 2, 2019
Empathy vs. intelligence
Aristotle wrote: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." While educated can mean many things, it is in essence meant as a tool (albeit a mental one). But while we can try to understand the issues of extremists without accepting them as our own beliefs, is having knowledge (or mental skill) really enough? Or is "knowing" without having had experienced what people with such ideologies believe and do just another misunderstanding of how the human condition really works?

Are you really an influencer?
If Martin Luther King had Snapchat, do you think he would be taking selfies with his new Air Jordans rather than fighting for his cause? But what if YouTube channel Unbox Therapy's Lewis George or "Lew" didn't have YouTube? Would he still be spreading his love and passion for opening boxes?

Better a bit early or really late than in sync with the times
Sooner or later some new technology is invented and becomes available to the masses, usually being either easier, quicker, cleaner, more efficient, cheaper than what we had before. And while I love the fact that I don't have to learn typesetting or screen printing to be able to print 100 copies of a text document, each of these technological advances pushes up the baseline and definition of commodities in our society.

Commercials and advertising as a medium for artists
From linen canvases to plaster and genes, the share amount of mediums available to artists today is historically speaking at its very peak. While some prefer analog ways of expressing themselves, others like to work digitally. But have you ever considered commercials as a viable medium for your work?

Borrow like an artist, it's not that great getting sued
Many of us may be familiar wit the book Steal Like an Artist by written by Austin Kleon. In this book he describes how countless famous artists have been "stealing" other artists styles, ideas and just about anything else that they deemed valuable and used everything in their own work. But apart from a marketer's standpoint, should this really be called stealing?

Visual communications in the age of Instagram, VR and purple cows
Communication has stopped being the exchange of emotion and has stagnated to merely an exchange of information. You don't need to go outside to know the weather is bad, you don't need to go to Rome to see the Pantheon and we have long been able to have social contacts with others without ever meeting them in person, but with Instant Video at the tip of your fingers, it really became more of a natural extension of our being and less a pigeon that might or might not arrive.

On writing your first artist statement and why it shouldn't be your last
What many of us present as an artist statement (I was guilty of this for a long while) is usually exactly the opposite of what it should be; we focus on intellectually sounding words and sentences like this: "As wavering phenomena become rediscovered through subversive personal practices, the observer is left with an awareness of the boundaries of our era.", rather than actually trying to communicate clearly.

There are no stupid viewers, only stupid artworks
They say there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. I think something similar applies to making art too. Let's say I decide to make a new conceptual piece; I take my time, carefully constructing my concept, picking the right materials and motif and get one of the best galleries I can to showcase my new work. And after months of labouring away in the studio, nobody gets it!

How the White Cube principle could help your online portfolio
In 1976, artist and critic Brian O'Doherty published his essay "Inside the White Cube", that not only created lots of buzz in the art world, but gave this popular mode of displaying work in museums and commercial galleries a catchy new name.

Going strong rather than burning out
It sounds grand to be overly productive, to wake up at 5:00 in the morning and work till 23:00 at night, but the issue with most people I know who adhere to such a strong work ethic, isn't commitment and it absolutely isn't motivation, but health.
January 23, 2019
Communicating what your work is all about
Today, it isn't as much about one work, or even one exhibition — what matters in the long run is the totality of our production and most importantly the regularity of our production. Rather than focusing on the importance of each piece we make, I find it more crucial to step back and observe it in the context of everything we have ever done.
January 22, 2019
The best shortcut for making it in the arts
Rather than waiting for destiny, I am a fan of action, but the problem with a lot of us is, we are constantly searching for that one piece of information that will change our lives. Now, what if I shared with you today exactly that information? Would you be willing to really give it a try and see the transformative powers of finally having the right mental and physical tools to conquer your dreams?

How influencers could help you sell your work
People will always bicker and whine, but at the same time, there will always be those of us, who show up and do the work. And now, through the powers of social media and those small metal and glass devices in our pockets and bags, we can become our own gallery representatives, our own brands and do so while on our daily commute. How fantastic is that?!
January 20, 2019
What does bad conceptualism have to do with art sales?
Where I come from, we haven't really seen any upward movement from the private art market since the 90s (not even when almost everywhere else art sales boomed) and as a result there is now not only a high percentage of underpaid artists but an overpopulation of badly executed conceptual ideas.

Emotion vs. fact - The persuasive powers of art
Knowing does not equal doing, but feeling almost always leads to action. Because emotions are actions, physical states of our bodies (you can't really feel sad while running a marathon) and while using facts to persuade someone may or may not be an efficient way of communication, if instead we use emotions, we have an incredibly higher chance of getting our point across. And who better to know the fine art of communicating emotions than us creatives?

Do you need a portfolio website?
About 20 years ago almost nobody had a website, let alone a personal web portfolio of his or her work, but with WordPress and Squarespace came the era of portfolio Websites. While having one is much cheaper now than it was years ago, we now have Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and of course Facebook that are "completely free", so the real question is, do we still need personal websites for our art?
January 17, 2019
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme
We have been making art since the time we were living in caves, so the act of artistic creation is older than civilisation itself. Regardless of whether you're writing articles, books, poetry or painting or sculpting, you may find that, after showing your art to the public, many people will see influences in your work that you didn't even know existed.
January 16, 2019
You can't make art for everyone, no matter how hard you try
We are the creators of narratives, it is our job to produce stories and to communicate those stories to others. Be it feelings of pleasure, anger, excitement, or a well intended warning, a good creator knows how to produce art that speaks to those for whom the message was intended. But no creator will ever be able to create something for everybody, at least not anymore.

What if Edison thought the art of grant applications
All success stories, regardless if in the field of fine art, business or invention, are usually paved with failure — and not just with the occasional small mishap or two, many come in the form of a constant stream of defeat. Edison (even though a contemptible man) knew what it meant to be in the vanguard of innovation. He made more than one thousand unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb, but when a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

Pricing your art - What is the price of creativity
You'll hear people tell you about different techniques on how to price your work, but usually these are artists, who mostly do one thing and what works for a classical portrait painter doesn't necessarily fit someone working with photo / video works. You can't really charge by the square cm or inch for video, and charging by the minute quite frankly questions the whole concept of what it means to make art opposed to craft. So in the hopes of giving advice that could help as many of you as possible, lets talk pricing!
January 11, 2019
Why be an artist
If your not happy with the idea, that its hard to sell paintings, it's not being an artist that bothers you, it's the act of painting and selling paintings, that you have a problem with. You have artists in banking and marketing, because it's not important what you create, it is the act of creation and the joy and pleasure that it brings. Maybe it's time to stop pondering about why and to start figuring out how. And mind you, this is not the motivational why; it's impossibly important to know why we do what we do, but the universal why. The one you don't have to like, only understand.

Try bringing two of your fingers closer in the back drop of a light source and you would observe this:
Long before your fingers actually touch, the edges magically seem to touch each other. How is this even possible?
Transit of Venus
When scientists were observing the transit of Venus from Earth i.e when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth,they faced a similar problem.
At the moment when Venus should
nearly touch the edge of the sun, the circular planet began to elongate.
And they noticed the same phenomenon for Mercury as well (which has no atmosphere).
What is causing this optical phenomenon?
The physics behind this beautifully bizarre optical phenomenon will be revealed tomorrow on FYP!.
But since this is something that you can all try at home, we strongly encourage you to play around with this and get a feel for it. It requires only your hands and a source of light.
Once you do, try to hypothesize a solution for this behavior.
Have fun!
The black drop effect
Let's take a closer look at this optical phenomenon by projecting your hand on to a screen and bringing the fingers closer together.
Observe the behavior of the penumbral region of the shadow i.e the less darker region:
Ahhaa… Notice that even though my fingers are not touching each other in the last image, if you see the shadow it seems as though they are!
This is because of when two penumbral regions of the shadow overlap, you get a much darker region in the middle. Here's an illustration:
Yes in reality, you do observe gradients of darkness in between the two objects like so:
BUT our eyes are not that great at handling such fine contrasts in darkness; It clips off the less darker regions between the two shadows and replaces it with the surrounding darker region.
A similar response is rendered by the camera's noise suppression algorithm too. That's why you get that bulge connecting the two umbras irrespective whether you view it through your eye or through the camera.
In the case of the camera, this can be rectified using the appropriate tools and processing, whereas in the case of the eye you are stuck with it.
The case for Venus Transit
You can observe the same clipping phenomenon (called Black drop effect) that we talked about if we project the image onto a camera instead of a screen:
If the light source were the sun, the object were Venus instead of your fingers, and the screen were your eyes, you get this fuzzy shadow behavior commonly observed during the transit of Venus.
This is not a droplet, but the black drop effect observed during the transit of Venus
The case for Diffraction (OPEN DISCUSSION):
When I posed this question to a lot of my friends, their first response was Diffraction but honestly I couldn't visualize this phenomenon with Diffraction.
I spent a lot of time playing with a laser module trying to figure out how Diffraction would fit into this explained but I am unable to come up with a reasonable argument for it.
If you have a valid explanation of this using Diffraction(or other), please enlighten me and the rest of the community. I personally would really love to know.
Thanks and have fun!

All our attention to element is about greater than trying good. It's about creating a greater driving experience. But, these technologies have changed us, and we're now not in management since they(Applied sciences and their Techniques) mediate our realities and meanings and ways of interpreting the world all of us exists in. Actually, this isn't being in charge of anything, however being decided/coditione and managed by our very created technologies, of which we at the moment are helplessly relied on for all our existence in life, right now – to this point.
Automotive administration and its derivatives comparable to automotive dealership management deal with the enterprise features of the business equivalent to advertising , gross sales and distributing the finished automotive product. Such packages are supplied at each the bachelor diploma and master diploma stage and include the basics of business and advertising rules with a course toward industry particular programs. Such programs are often closely linked with giant players inside the automotive trade who will probably be concerned in teaching, seminars and work placements.
Although the looks of mass manufacturing in the automotive industry coincided with the emergence of huge-scale business group , the 2 had originated independently. They had been associated, nonetheless, and influenced each other because the business expanded. Only a large firm may make the heavy funding in plant and tooling that the meeting line required, and Ford was already the biggest single American producer when it launched the method. The mass producer in turn loved a cost benefit that tended to make it increasingly troublesome for smaller rivals to outlive. There have been exceptions, however the pattern has been consistent.
The accelerated pace of the Automotive Engineering program is nicely suited to individuals who've a passion for internal combustion engine growth, and the design and actualization of energy-changing methods. The required coursework attracts upon the 70-yr history of world-main inner combustion engine research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Engine Research Center, however doesn't have a required graduate analysis component. As an alternative, students within the Automotive Engineering program will full a summer practicum that exposes them to each the experimental and computational instruments which are required of engineers in the business. This exposure will prepare graduates be ready to contribute on their first day on the job.
I chose this profession because it is a modern one, and it's well paid. I'm a motoring enthusiast and I really like driving – despite the fact that I can not afford my own automotive but. I like engaged on automotive electronics. It's not only a profession for males. That is also what I preserve telling other women and women: we, too, can perform nicely in technical professions!

Gained them a certain rating, you can get regular customers, ordering you have the most different kinds of articles. This may be a research article critique, and many others. Someone believes that should only work through a stock exchange, as it provides a guaranteed salary. But others prefer to work independently, as it allows you to earn much higher. From this it follows that there is opportunity to earn several times more, spending less time at the same time. If you find a few regular customers, we can assume that a sufficiently stable income is provided to you. But in order to this was a good idea to make a portfolio, which shows the different types of articles. We must not forget about advertising. Potential customers should be allowed to assess the style of your work. You must demonstrate sample article of your production. Most customers to pursue their claims. Features articles may be different. Someone wants to hand column article had a density of 10 percent, someone wants official writing style, and for the third important factor is the presence of rare, previously unknown data or complete a unique written articles. The best option is to set up his own website where you yourself can tell us about your skills and talents, and demonstrate them. It may be the best samples of your work on different topics. Bold plus will link to your work, who are on other sites. A good example of the article may be a good incentive for the customer to apply for the work to you. But if you have not got your own website, it is not a problem. Part exchanges provide an opportunity copywriters, for a modest fee, to publish an ad with their suggestions on the pages of your site. In the 'nutshell' need to explain to a potential customer, why the work should give it to you, so how exactly do you do it at the proper level with preservation of particular articles, ordered by the employer. About many things to be said and the title of the article. . On the one hand, it must be unique, and the other to provide a simple and a common question, for example: 'How do I turn the laptop? '. Naturally, the article should give him a definite answer. Whatever your manuscript: a critical article, research article, it first must be interesting and easily-readable. Most people already in the first paragraph, lose interest and therefore need to captivate the reader from the first proposals. If an article is written in simple and understandable language, without the use of complex phrases, they may show interest, and not even noticing it, read through it to the end. In this case, if he finds for himself something useful, it will be fine. Using these tips, you can become an author of articles, that readers like and are in demand by customers. And just to add some money to his basic salary. And the amount depends entirely on your hard work and talent.

The Logo
If the letter has a comparatively smaller complex shape (eg, 'K'), and increased – a simple ('O', 'J'), we obtain the cutting-eye imbalance similar to that described above in this chapter, the effect of 'big' and 'little' logos, when reduced letter becomes ill readable, and enlarged it seems too rough. 5. Abbreviation: Everything described seems too primitive, then we go from logos such as 'text' and 'sign' to combined. And the first step in this direction will help us make Way to the first letter or, in other words, the method abbreviations. Is this method is that as a sign that accompanies the text, appears play of the first letter of the organization or played with the first letter, if words in the title of a few. Surprisingly, this method is considered a leader in the number of marks they made. Beat the same first letters as possible to the above methods and others, only you One well-known. In this case we can ignore the restriction on the readability of the letters and to distort its most incredible way.
6. Associated sign As you probably already know without me, a sign that accompanies the text, may be arbitrary. The sign can be hung on the text or be part of it. He can dominate the composition, and may be less than the smallest letter of the text. The main thing only to have it in their appearance did not alienate the consumer, and vice versa possessed to themselves. In other words, the logo should trigger positive associations and / or cause negative. Associations posyaschena whole chapter, so there is talk about associations, we will not. 7. This has not been A Now came the turn of the way by which you created the logo will be unattainable role model. The customer for this logo immediately otstegnet you a very tidy sum of money favorite, and after the first the client will attract a second, third And the name of this method is simple – your boundless imagination.

Over the past few days, I've been feeling a bit voyeuristic. Sometimes I feel a great temptation to open myself up, declaring to the world my manifold sins and weaknesses. Anybody who knows me know I'm all for honesty. However, I must confess that this voyeuristic temptation is less about honesty and more about guilt, or more accurately, absolution.
In my heart of hearts, I know that inside me still dwells a very great impulse towards sin. And I suppose this desire to be confessional, while appearing to be pious, is actually rooted in vanity. Sometimes I believe that absolution can come just through confession, through simply telling God (and the world) all the dirty, nasty, or cruel little things I've thought or done. I get to shake the dust off my feet, wipe my face clean, and go about my day feeling breezy and light.
But even as I type this I can feel within my heart the need for something much greater than simple confession. I need to actually give a damn about my confession and make some changes in my life. To quote the wise Dr. Henry Jones, Sr.: "Only the penitent man shall pass." Thanks, Sean Connery.
It's so easy declare our sinfulness and move on, as if declaring our sinfulness is the endgame of Christian confession. But if I truly believe the words of St. Athanasius, "God became human that humans might become God", then I must do something more than a mere speech act. I need to feel deep down in my bones the desire to stop sinning, the desire to embrace the perfection Jesus calls us to (see Matt. 5:48), and then cultivate this through prayer and action.
It's what the Orthodox call ascesis. It's the radical notion that human beings can actually transcend sinfulness and embrace the perfection Jesus has called us to. Imagine that, the words of Jesus actually being taken seriously! Ascesis leads to divinization, to really embodying in our total humanity the transformative nature of the Divine. To quote again St. Athanasius: "Therefore He was not man, and then became God, but He was God, and then became man, and that to deify us." To lift human nature out of the quagmire of brokenness and into the beauty and brilliance of the Divine Light right here and now. In all things, at all times and in all places, there is the potential for holiness, for ascesis, for divinization (see 2 Peter 1:3-4).
But do I believe this? Of course I speak about such things as if they are true. Anyone who knows me knows my love for the Orthodox tradition and the Patristic writings on theosis and divinization.
But do I believe that I, the sinful man that I am, can be the man, the divinized man, that God in Christ is calling me to be?
Can I be something more than I am today?
I've been feeling the weight of this question lately, and I can feel it as I read what I've just written.
But this is a live question for me. Some days I believe that the grace of God can indeed transform me from sinfulness to grace, moving from glory to glory.
Other days it's much easier to focus on the brokenness.
I'm resisting the urge to wrap this post up with a tidy theological statement about the truth and beauty of theosis and God's grace. I'll simply end with a question:
Does anybody else resonate with this spiritual dichotomy?

Fire forces classes to St. Wendelin
FOSTORIA — Cleanup is under way at Fostoria Junior/Senior High School after a fire in the boiler room Tuesday morning.
In addition to cleaning by Cleaner & Dryer Co. of Toledo, the district announced Thursday that seventh- and eighth-grade students will be moved to the St. Wendelin School building.
"Until the process gets further along, we are not ready to provide details, such as start date and transportation," Superintendent Andrew Sprang said in a statement posted to the district's Facebook page. "At this point in time, we are close to having a place for our 9-12 grade students and are continuing to finalize the details."
The fire was contained to the boiler room. Smoke spread through the building's ductwork. According to Sprang, the fire appears to have been electrical and resulted in the loss of power to the district servers and phone systems.
According to Sprang, 90 people will be at the school today to expand cleanup efforts. The team is to begin working around the clock from Saturday until cleanup is completed. An independent air quality test is to be completed before the building reopens.
Sprang said in the statement that plans are being finalized and more information is to be announced as it becomes available.
"The days and weeks ahead are going to be a challenge, but if we all come together to support one another, a bad situation can be a positive one for our school district and community," Sprang said in the statement. "I ask for patience over the next few days as we work to develop the best plan possible to restart the educational process."

Book Review: Not That Kind of Girl is a feminist commentary on life
February 26, 2016

Lena Dunham is the creator of the acclaimed HBO TV series "Girls." Her breakout movie "Tiny Houses" (on Netflix) features the same style of storytelling as Not That Kind Of Girl, using events in her own life as inspiration.
Broken up into chapters modeled after Helen Gurley Brown's misogynistic classic Having It All, she addresses everything from having your internet boyfriend die to having sex with men in fedoras. Short essays paired with tiny hand drawings make this book a digestible, easy read.
Confession: I usually hate reading story introductions. I've been using the "skim and skip" method of reading since the third grade and I don't plan on changing my ways. I can say with confidence that this book, introduction included, deserves a thorough examination.
If you search her name, you will find articles accusing her of sexual misconduct, but you'll also see her starring alongside Selena Gomez in Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video. She carefully leads the reader through tough topics like white privilege, therapy and the uterus.
I think this young and wild novel should be on a recommended reading list for college freshmen, but I don't believe many schools would accept my suggestion. Dunham regularly provides commentary with many stories about condom fumbles and recreational drug use.
Beyond her hilarious anecdotes, Dunham seems to have the same problem as I do: she doesn't know when to shut up. Most of what she writes is feminist literature gold, but as I was reading I found myself wishing she had left some details out. (Side-note: she can also sound whiney and annoying at some points. Be prepared.)
In the book, she discusses her different careers, which range from selling high-end baby clothes to writing and producing an Emmy award-winning show. We learn about her artsy, liberal parents who seem okay with her having unprotected sex and public nudity. Although most of the story takes place in New York City, the city itself thankfully isn't one of the main characters. (I'm glad, because I'm sick of the "New York is the best place on earth" idea.)
She unapologetically presents her story in a way that allows the audience to see the world from her perspective, and gives you the feeling that she's your close, personal friend. If you're looking for something to read besides your class notes and Twitter, you can find this book and more at the UNF Bookstore for $16.

California Is the Liberal-Progressive Model For the United Stateshttp://www.thomasbrewton.com/index.php/weblog/california_is_the_liberal_progressive_model_for_the_united_states/
Liberal-progressive policies are killing the California economy. High taxes, soaring public debt, strangling regulation, and political collusion with extortionate labor unions are killing the job market in California.
More companies are leaving California than coming into the state to establish or expand businesses. A growing number of American companies are electing to expand overseas, where the economic climate for business enterprise is decidedly more welcoming.
California's Democrat/Socialist Party controls the state government. They refuse to control spending and keep assuring the voters that all be well if they can continue to impose higher taxes.
Obama is following the same script, with the same disastrous results.

About MushBrain
Hello. My name is Christa and this is my blog. I'm a native New Yorker now living in Louisville, Kentucky. I am a litigator-turned-SAHM (stay at home mom). I live with my wonderfully supportive husband, Elliott, my cheerful one-year old daughter, Lillian, our often mischievous beagle, Hazel (aka the Nut) and our schizophrenic cat, Mowgli (aka the Jerk). Clearly, I like adjectives.
So, why MushBrain? Scientists have found that mothers of newborns temporarily lose IQ points – along with memory and other cognitive skills – in the 24 hours following the birth of their child, i.e. the mushbrain effect. Personally, I noticed the points dropping off shortly after getting pregnant and still wonder if I'll ever get them back now that I've spent over a year at home with my little munchkin. Truth be told, I would rather do nothing else than stay at home with my daughter, but there was a time when I spent the majority of my day analyzing the fine details of American law. And now I spend much of my day fighting off the urge to sing the painfully catchy theme song to "Elmo's World" — most noticeably, when I'm standing in the middle of a room, baby in tow, wondering what I was planning to do there.
This blog is my attempt to fend off the all too frequent bouts of mushbrain that strike when I spend too much time thinking about mommy stuff and not enough time interacting with the outside world and adult human beings. I'll post about a variety of topics, many of which will no doubt indulge my mushbrain's propensity for focusing on all things baby. But I also hope it will be a springboard for thinking about other topics for moms like me — and other mushbrained beings — who are looking for a bit of brain stimulation.
Michael Steiper permalinkJanuary 27, 2010
Hi Christa
Funny how facebook can reunite people after so many years. I really like your blog. My wife is pregnant and she is convinced that she is already losing IQ points. So, I guess we're in for a real treat once the baby comes. I thought that you'd find another factoid interesting. A friend of mine studies testosterone in men and he found that when a man has a child, his testosterone drops. So, moms get less smart and dads get less manly right around birth. Hilarious.
Take care,
