The Story behind Art As a Present.

The Art- as a-Present Collection is all about exceptional design. The images in there are chosen for their exceptional beauty. I will tell you the story behind the collection.

I always knew the importance of a haircut when growing up. And yet I was surrounded by glamorous people from the hippy movement that never touched their hair. They used to have these long glamorous shining tresses that looked great. So when I arranged an appointment with a very important stylist, I figured out I had to do something special if I wanted a decent cut. 

I started researching style in international mags. First I started with Vogue Paris. But  British Vogue was more accepting to the less than sterling of us. It was a question of trial and error. But what I noticed was as the quality of the mag went up so did the beauty of the images. Finally, I started collection the pictures.


And this how Art-As-a-Present images started to become a collection.

If you have any design images that are worthy of note please feel free to send them to www.facebook.com/artaspresent.  And remember every like of the page and every purchase helps the Collection (and your images) increase in value.

Bieber; Under the Mistletoe

Well the laundry's done. I have two pairs of kicky pajama bottoms waiting to be worn now. We are talking pink leopard and monkeys on a purple background. The dishwasher is out for a couple of days now and we have been eating on paper plates so I am going to look for a nice place to have my lunch today. I have a selection of three restos in mine: French, Brazilian and a coffee with a winning menu.  After that, I am going to go pick up a couple of pastries for tonight and f or Christmas morning. Talking about the French resto, they have some beautiful, decorative pastries. I only hope they are open. Meanwhile, this being the 24th I am going to go back to bed for a bit before I get dressed to search our sustenance.  Meanwhile, why not pick up some Christmas images from Bieber. By the way, what does shawty mean? He says that a lot in the song.

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...
