In September of 2011, Tim Jaeger and I created a new company. Its purpose is to provide the city of Sarasota, and the West Coast of Florida, with a valuable resource that focuses on the visual arts.  Our content includes, and is not limited to; featured artists, featured galleries, upcoming events, exhibits, art functions, reviews [...]

I am proud to announce the launch of a new website. Healthy Start Sarasota is a non-profit organization for “the improvement of health and well-being of pregnant women, infants and young children”. I had the privilege of full redesign and development. I would like to thank Ciera Galbraith for the opportunity to work with her in completing [...]

The year 2011 has been full of change. One exciting thing is a new working space I have recently acquired. A quick bike ride from where I am living, it will provide me with a place to offer a comfortable environment for sitters. Moving on to my fourth portrait painting, I am ready to start [...]

I had the privilege of meeting with a group of the most prominent artists in Sarasota last night. I was invited to have dinner with the Sarasota Arts Council to discuss how they can assist us artists in town for further exposure and some form of unity. Most of us already knew each other from [...]

What is SEO and how do you get to the top of free search listings?

Don’t forget about the fifth wall! Tin ceilings are an awesome product, affordable and easy to install.

This post will show some new sites, some old sites and some stuff I feel like writing a post about. The American Tin Ceiling Company The Worlds Largest Manufacturer / Direct Shipper of tin ceiling panels and products. I streamlined the styles on the index page. Check out the videos throughout the site and take [...]

Matt Kelly started this project after we ended Porch Magazine. [...]

Internet commerce and the possibilities for us little sellers and retailers!

The cd release party will be held at ESCA downtown Sarasota on January 24 from 9:30pm – 2 am. The art was done by Erik Jones (Ringling School of Art and [...]

I would like to thank Halimah for the wonderful critique and brainstorming she has invested her time into. Writing has also been exciting! It has been somewhat slow with Graphic Love Juice as I have been concentrating on other projects, procrastinating the online store but still on track for my new year deadline (So far [...]

Spontaneous Habit requested that I produce a flyer for their Thursday night gig at Esca downtown Sarasota. Good friends, good music and an awesome atmosphere. I was looking to do something different and try to tap into the organic nature of their music. Time was an issue that I wish I had more of … [...]

This month has been the complete opposite of August. Blogs are no place for emotional exploration (at least for myself) so I will definitely refrain from expressing myself here, but I can say that relationships with people take a lot of energy. Graphic Love Juice is going strong. The goal is to have an internet [...]

Mack B Gallery has offered me space to use for my artistic endeavors! I would like to thank Tobey Albright for giving me the opportunity to get out of my room / bathroom and venture into a larger, more productive space! Much appreciated and will be utilized to its fullest capacity.

After 6.5 hours, I was able to produce 20 different conceptual variations. Shown below are the ones I like the best.

The poster may be resolved, althoug it may need a few revisions. Other than a few minor touches I feel good about it. SPARCC asked me to help with a banner (which won’t take much time), and to assist in a television and radio ad. Two thousand and six has made me very comfortable using [...]

It’s that time again. I’m working on new artwork for an upcoming SPARCC event. This cause is too good to say no to. All the work I do for this organization is completely pro-bono. Once in a while they choose to buy an ad for the magazine, but soon I hope to be Non-Profit so [...]
