V27 Calming Down: the Saturday after Christmas

After all the hurrying I did for Christmas Day I thought that I would just do some tidying up online a little before I started my Studio Work this Saturday.  I thought,  it would just take one second.  I would go to the proper file, and put the Pen and Ink Drawings onto my Wealthy Art sight. Unfortunately it took almost all day to find the files.  I remember doggedly going onto the computer late at night still nervous about some missing files.  So this prompted me into a frenzy of organizing my files, both paper and online that is still going on now (Tuesday).

I had the day all planned. First I would take down the little dog under the mistletoe which is very Christmassy and replace him with the "Ballerina and Time" (a collage done by myself). Then I just would, neat as a baby, go take my snowy scene from the dossiers downstairs, quickly change the muse into one that was better and put it on the wall.  To date neither are done but I have both images near me and I hope to do them by next Saturday.

I couldn't find a lot of stuff and this got into a serious mood. So I put on some Independant Living tapes so that I could spruce up on my social skills.

I did a little creative entertaining however.  I had some wine and cheese left over from Christmas night so I took a little while to set everything up attractively on my window ledge.  the wine was put near the outer window an hour before five o'clock to chill.  at the same time I took the Cheese out so that it could be served at room temperature.  The wine was a French one called L'Escale and the Cheese was a prizing winning Brie with a taste of Vanilla to add a little interest.  With that I paired Cranberry and Walnut Crackers and Walnuts in the shell.  I was lucky to find some Peruvian grapes on sale at the Supermarket.  They were enormous and very sweet.  They were perhaps a little too sweet to go with the cheese but they tasted great by themselves.  And the cheese went very well with the Cranberry and walnut crackers.  It was nice to have red wine.  I drink only on special occasions.

Because I did not get around to the actual creative work on Saturday I did some filming about Val Gal on Sunday.  I am going through the pictures of the Magic Space Exhibit right now.

Finally Sunday afternoon I went down to Complexe Desjardins to find a tablecloth for a  little birthday celebration we were holding the next day.  Because I was down there anyways I took a peak at Marie Claire to see if I could find some business clothes.  I have absolutely no luck in the thrift shops.  they never seem to have my size.  As luck would have it I found some nice clothes.

So, although I had not much time to do actually creative art work this past weekend, I did find an outlet for my creative energies in many other ways.  And I certainly got a lot of organizing done.

The Before Poster Series

Before posters   The arts in a poor community   When I moved into the downtown sector the plateau Montreal was a very poor community   Although the community was very poor it was densely populated. There were a lot of dry goods establishments mixed with a fair amount of family tolerated prostitution. The police sergeant had taken it upon himself to clean up the area so there were a lot of sponsored artistic establishments Mostly beginning dressmakers. These were young designers that needed a lot of cheap space and fast and they were willing and able to physically fight for their career.  They had many ethnic grocery stores that promoted regional fruits and vegetables  four different kinds of cooking needs. You had Portuguese you had English you had Chinese etc. These culturally diverse grocery stores exist to this very day. You also had a lot of temporary space that could be rented very cheaply for performance. It is from these performances can I tak...

vg39. Creative Strategy for a newspaper Advertiser: Clearosil Perfecto Wash

The book I am reading says to practice making a creative  marketing strategy by using other products. this one is an online newspaper ad.  here goes: The purpose of Clearosil Perfecto wash advertising is to show that the user of this soap will have clear skin no matter what kind of food she eats.  So she can go out with all sorts of great looking people and eat fabulous junk food. This will be accomplished by first of all using very beautiful model in attractive surroundings and making it look very easy and practical to just use the soap and get rid of all potential problems.  The product's convenient aspect is enhanced by a very modern looking funky dispenser that gives the soap with very little effort. The ad will be humorous and the models will maintain her good looks no matter what even if an accident happens: like her hat is taken off by the fan. Tell me how I rate by sending your score from one to ten to kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com.

Birthday Itinerary on the LIke-a-thon

And what am I going to do today? I am glad you asked. First thing I am going to have breakfast at the wonderfully designed new restaurant down the street. I dare not tell you the name because I want to have a place. If I told you well then you might be one of the multitude of fans that take the tables instead of me. So, in to the shower and then I am off to the races. (did you join my event) What? Not yet? Well now's the time.
