Color and Marketing Color Psychology and Your Marketing, Advertising and Promotions Color and marketing go hand in hand with each other. The use of color in the marketing of your business, whether it is in your advertising, your promotions, your business stationery or your product, can send either a positive or negative subconscious message, creating a good or bad perception of your business or your product. First Impressions Are Important While color is not the only important ingredient in your marketing, it is the first thing that hits people and it can leave a lasting impression - don't underestimate the power of that first impression.
Morton Bartlett In 1993, Marion Harris, a New York art and antiques dealer, made the discovery of her life: In a booth at the Pier Show, a major antiques fair in New York, she came upon a collection of dolls and doll parts in boxes, along with stacks of old photographs. The material had been removed from a townhouse in Boston’s South End after the death of its elderly owner, a man named Morton Bartlett. Acting on instinct, she bought everything, and when she got it all home she found that what she’d purchased was a group of 15 exquisitely realistic, half-life-size dolls carefully wrapped in old newspapers and stored in custom-made wooden boxes. Three of them represented a boy of about 8 years old, and the rest were figures of girls between the ages of 8 and 16. There were also expertly tailored clothes for the dolls and hundreds of professional-quality photographs of the dolls in evocatively staged and dramatically lighted situations.
Marnie Weber Eternity Forever Exclusive Marnie Weber is a multi-media artist with near-legendary status in Los Angeles, having played in countless feminist punk bands in her youth, created a variety of highly-acclaimed Anger-esque Super 8mm films and designed iconic album covers for the likes of Sonic Youth. For the last five years, the artist has performed live with her masked surrealist punk rock troupe The Spirit Girls – a conceptual art piece about an all-girl group from the 70s who died young and came back as spirits in order to communicate their message of love and emancipation through music. Having made four Spirit Girls films, dozens of Spirit Girls collages and sculptures, a full-length CD (and performed many live performances), Weber felt it was finally time the girls returned to lands of the dead and laid them to rest via a coruscating punk rock show in Pasedena's gargantuan Mountain View Mausoleum (with a little help from the monsters who offered a guest tour of the adjoined cemetery).

Lucian Freud: The Painter's Etchings One of the foremost figurative artists working today, Lucian Freud (British, born Germany 1922) has redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. Although best known as a painter, etching has become integral to his practice. This exhibition will present the full scope of Freud's achievements in etching, including some seventy-five examples ranging from rare, early experiments in the 1940s to the increasingly large and complex compositions created since his rediscovery of the medium in the early 1980s. In a dramatic and unusual cross-media installation, it will also include a selection of related paintings and drawings, illuminating the crucial, cross-pollinating relationship between Freud's etchings and paintings. Freud is not a traditional printmaker. He treats the etching plate like a canvas, standing the copper upright on an easel.

His masterful technique is achieved through the scrutiny and emulation of the compositional devices, graphic rhythms and refined surfaces of sixteenth and seventeenth century Northern European painting, while his eroticized subjects exist at odds with the popular dialogue and politics of contemporary art.
99 Musical Movie Moments I'm Thankful For Well, here we are once again, on the day before Thanksgiving. Aside from marking the start of the Christmas shopping madness season and being a day of overeating to the point of semi-consciousness while trying to avoid sitting next to relatives one doesn’t like, the fourth Thursday in November is still a time to look back and…well, give thanks. And as a lifelong film buff, it turns out that I have quite a few things to be grateful for when comes to movies. So many, in fact, that I thought I’d compose the following list of my top 99 music-related cinematic moments. Arnulf Rainer Austrian painter, printmaker and photographer. He had almost no academic training as an artist. From 1948 to 1951 he produced Surrealistic drawings representing underwater scenes and mystical forms, rendering these fantastic images in pencil as a densely worked surface.
