I have attended a couple of conferences at CCS. I find you learn a great deal by showing up.
The one i remember was about plastics. There are people presenting their companies. What their companies are involved in displayed. And you learn about some really interesting ideas of how to use materials. If you are in need of work, then look for…[Read more]-
True to all, James! And in October, our newest EC Ambassador, @fernandoconceptzombie is coming in from CA to speak at College for Creative Studies (CCS) in Detroit. We’ll be posting the invite so watch for it.

I am in favor of keeping the community which i live in vibrant. In other words keeping money flowing around in my home town. Why send the cash away to somewhere else? So yes having a the embrace creative members involved in this type of work listed would be a welcomed source.

Is there any Embrace Creative member doing this type of work?….. Creating teeshirts, mugs, or other products for sale with artist signs on them?

Thank you for finding this outlet for us, James! It would be helpful if they shared the quality of the items one creates with them. I wonder if they send samples. There’s quite a few similar sites that allow artists to upload hi res images of their art to reproduce on products and yeah, there’s EC Members who do it. Not sure what platform the…[Read more]

I just viewed a video from someone called “Peter Draws”. The video title is something along the lines of “Flipping through my sketchbook…”What is interesting along with the art work, he is selling books ,Teeshirts, and sweatshirts with his drawings on them. A pretty good idea to monetize artwork i must say. The sketchbook he is flipping through…[Read more]

Well Today i found out they uploaded my sketchbook to their digital library..
https://www.sketchbookproject.com/libraries
It can be found searching for Boyk.

Congrats! I clicked the link but didn’t see the digital library link (maybe because it’s late and I’m tired). I’m in Brooklyn now but not near Williamsburg or else I’d stop by to look for your sketchbook. 🌟

I have been admazed about this information as of late.
https://ipoxstudios.com/dynamic-symmetry-grids-for-photographers-and-painters/I also found out Kinko’s stopped making transparencies. The golden mean was never explained to me like this artist explained it.
Food for thought…. -

Do what you fear then death of fear is certain!
So i can learn how not to fail.

Went to the discussion today..I saw Ken there but i don’t think he saw me?
It was very informative. I think that is what galleries would want from artists recorded in video form.
A very good experience listening to other artists discussing their work. I am glad i attended. Screen Shot 2019-07-10 at 8.36.44 PM

Hi James – thrilled you were able to attend the artist’s talk last night and enjoyed the casual, yet thought-provoking discussion. We’ve started planning additional, important topics/exhibits for 2020.

Hi James, our website was just updated and we’re still tweaking. What page were you trying to get to that brought up the 404 error message?

What did you like most about this project?..
I liked it because it is the way i work anyway. Small images allow for quick images to be made. The thought of it going into a library for anyone to take it out. Also to be digitized to go online for anyone to see it. Being a part of an idea that 41,000 sketch books already there. plus i just had to…[Read more]

I am thinking about how collectors think. They do like proven purchases. They are slow to commit to an artist. It may take years of exposure to gain trust in your efforts. So your question of whether changing your focus in your work maybe counter productive. I would say keep working through your ideas and follow where your ideas lead you. Work…[Read more]

Thanks so much James, for the encouragement, and for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully. For now I carry on and see how things pan out!

Very good points you are bringing up. I read a book about Pablo Picasso i believe written by Brassai. When Picasso viewed Brassai’s photos’ Picassos’ response was to find him a dealer to get them sold. There was no questions about it. He immediately started to think of selling the work.
Another story i am familiar with is about Alice Cooper. He…[Read more]-

I have worked on an assembly line before. It was interesting how it all came together. i had nineteen seconds to perform the work assigned to me. We would produce around 1500 engines per day. What amazed me was how once you became used to the work your mind wandered. I always wanted to apply the concept to making art.
The modern assembly line is…[Read more]
