Posted by Aaron Blakeley on Apr 28 2008 | news

I would like to start this week by plugging the wonderfull people who provide cost effective webhosting.

Utopian.net

They are great for the person who is creatively exploding but technically challenged even if you are not challenged then they are still great to use.

Brianna and Josh are the co-founders of utopian and really good people to know so check them out.

Also I started a face book group called Lampstand Creatives. so go and join up.

Sorry fir the shorty today

Sheila’s Soul Sisters

Posted by Aaron Blakeley on Apr 26 2008 | art, news

So I have sat down to write about viral marketing not more than 5 times only to realize that I have budgeted way to little time to cover the subject. So here we go about a project that I added kind of under the radar. shelas-soul-sisters.jpg

This is Sheila’s Soul Sisters T-shirts. It is a group of women who have gathered around a cancer victim named you guessed it Sheila. Sheila is a fine women that has fought cancer for some time, I am told that she is always in high spirits and helps coordinate the group. They go to several cancer walks here in my corner of east Texas. The women are by majority school teachers. I deeply respect these women as they walk to support there friend and show there support financially for a cure. I hope that your life has not been touched by cancer but if it has then I pray that instead of becoming bitter and week of spirit you would become a strong voice for prevention, cure & comfort.

WHERE IS YOUR SKETCH BOOK!?!

Posted by Aaron Blakeley on Apr 16 2008 | art, fine art, graphic design, illustration, photography, sketch, tutorials

I hold mine high and say RIGHT HERE! I think that keeping your thoughts together is a great way to garner not only creativity but ideas worth a darn. I was fortunate to have had a teacher that forced us to use a sketch book what I did not realize is that he was creating not only a life long habit but a addiction. I love the fact that just about any client I have can look through my sketch books and see the humble beginnings of the project I worked on for them (though I do not let them do this.)Also it is kind of a legacy I am leaving to my children if they want to know dad or grandpaw or at least something about him just read his sketch books. I am even fortunate enough to have sketch books I filled when I was 10-11 with comics about Germs and Noses.ever.jpg Continue Reading »
