The elements align for one artistic entrepreneur

Nice article about METALCHEMY, Intrinsic Photo and entrepreneurship:
The elements align for one artistic entrepreneur

bumps in the road or on an cobblestone street

... sometimes life only has obstacles and hurdles for you. There can be so much resistance that it's hard to keep going but then you find motivating speeches like this:

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he/she has overcome."-Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)

Well the story that threw me back quiet a bit is the fact that one of my art pieces broke this week. I guess the positive about it is that I now have to find a better solution... metal cleats on stainless steel plates just aren't the perfect solution for hanging really heavy pieces. Now I'm researching hanging systems, hocks of some sort that are backed on a bar across the piece and mounted on the wall from there. Anybody who has a suggestion or advise for me PLEASE let me know.

Happy Easter everybody,

metalchemy - water images on stainless steel

http://www.metalchemy.eu

... or one could say water images reflecting off stainless steel ... check it out.

Though I'm now working on a new collection in which the water images are broken into smaller fractions of image parts moving - ideally in similar motion as water does. Curious of what that would look like? Then check back soon.

Sheahomes Seaside Sign

The video below shows an unfinished building in construction status. I zoomed out to show the entire site, not just the sign we installed that day. But nonetheless the new Sheahomes Seaside Sign by Metalchemy.eu looks terrific. I can't wait to see the buildings finished and ready. I will make sure to post updated picts then.

...it's all about the cleaning obviously!

Berkey fundraiser idea

went to see my friend Berx who is in intense rehab after he fell about 9 feet deep and broke 3 vertebrae in his neck (C-1, C-6 and C-7). He can not fully use his hands/fingers nor does he feel anything below the chest right now. We are hoping for the future and his family is looking for advanced medicine options.

Some friends want to put together a big event and fundraiser to gather some moneys to help Berkey and his family with anything that may make his life easier down the road and make advanced medicine even an option financially. For people wanting to read more, read on here:

Anyone who has ambition to help by being involved or being part of the event planning - get in touch. We will have about 3 bands, an art auction with art from metalchemy.eu, wine tasting, cocktail party and more...

planning a sexy photo shoot

involving guns, lots of guns. My friend Johnston has a gun collection so we will get busy. Gathering the right kinda models - met with Doris THE MAKE UP & STYLING Diva in town to make closer plans. Check out Doris' site: http://www.dorislew.com

at what point does an idea become a goal? ... I guess once you make that decision!
