“In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”

-Phil Collins

Welcome to the Spring 2014 edition! We at Art Hive Magazine firmly believe that what you sow in the spring, you reap in the autumn. That’s why we are working hard to get involved with the art movements blossoming up in South Florida and, more specifically, Palm Beach County. As of late, we have had the privilege to get involved and sponsor Pride Fest in Lake Worth, Miami International Film Festival, Palm Beach International Film Festival, Resource Depot’s: Evening for the Earth, and we recently successfully produced and hosted our first Art Hive Indie Bride Wedding Show and Market Place. Also, we are currently in pre-production for our upcoming television program that will be airing on the CW West Palm Network in 2015 and the magazine has been recently picked up for retail distribution allowing us to further expand our availability. So, please stay tuned for more updates on the exciting "buzz" around the Hive.

Our main feature this month is the living legend Phil Collins. It was an honor and pleasure to meet and interview such an extraordinary talent. The Grammy and Oscar winning musician has recently stepped back into the spotlight to work with Adele on her upcoming album and we were able to talk with him on the day this was announced!

Thank you for continuing to read and support Art Hive and we hope to see you soon as we all continue to support and enjoy the South Florida arts community!

FOODIE DIARIES

FARMER'S TABLE

by Angela Yungk While at my table, sipping on my Cool Hand Cuke made with fresh cucumber, mint and honey, I glance up to see the oversized glass bottle chandeliers and beautifully exposed wood beams. Next to me stand immense rustic barn doors, yet the upbeat ambiance is sophisticated and stylish. It’s a local’s only mentality at Farmer’s Table in Boca, situated adjacent to the Wyndham Hotel, and they are changing the mindset of diners on what it means to eat healthy.

They only bring in the freshest ingredients from local farms, provide sustainable only foods, and use only eco-conscious purveyors. A whole new breed of restaurant has been born, from where they source their products to how they prepare food. Farmer's Table is heaven for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diners with options like the Vegetable Lasagna made with tempeh bolognese, spinach, and plum tomatoes; the Turkey “T-Bone” with baked garnet yam, spaghetti squash and ancho barbecue; or the Eggplant & Feta Roasted Flatbread with tomatoes, pine nuts, aged balsamic, and herb salad.

For meat eaters, they haven’t forgotten about you. From starters like Korean Chicken Wings with good for your “Seoul” Sauce and cucumber kimchi, to 19th Street Short Rib Tacos with grass-fed beef, pico de gallo and sprouted corn tortillas, you will actually forget you are eating healthy! Entrees range from grass fed burgers using “Jackman Ranch” beef with caramelized onion-fig jam on a multigrain bun, to the Zahtar Spiced Salmon with cashew & vegetable brown rice biryani, spinach, and a pomegranate glaze. My personal favorite is the the Buddha Bowl, in which you can choose between chicken, shrimp or spiced tofu with Stir-Fry Vegetables and Gingered Egg. Of course, you can’t forget about dessert! All the desserts are house made and contain no butter, cream, refined sugars, flours, or gluten. Some options include, Wood-Fired Apple Crisp, made from organic apples and a granola topping, or you can choose the Brownie-Fudge Bundt Cake with almond “Gelato”.

The price points are even amazing! You are in Boca but you won’t pay Boca prices. Starters range from $9-$12 and entrees go from $17- $22. When you leave Farmer’s Table, you leave feeling not only satisfied, but refreshed.

Farmer's Table has a simple yet smart philosophy they live by, “Truth in food. Our commitment to fresh, honest food begins with sourcing exceptionally clean ingredients from the best local farms so we know exactly where and how everything is produced.

We believe the preparation and creation of a dish is just as important as the taste, which is why our focus is real food: fresh, healthy, delicious, satisfying dishes without excess fat, sodium or preservatives. Our food energizes the spirit and satisfies all the senses, supporting the wellness of people and the planet.”

If you haven’t made your way to dinner yet at Farmer’s Table don’t worry, they also serve breakfast, lunch, and offer catering and takeout options. The new trend for local, fresh, and quality ingredients is on the rise and Farmer’s Table is leading the way.

Born in Jamaica, Raquel Williams is the product of a marriage of two teachers. Her mother, Hope, a singer, pianist, guitarist and music teacher and her father, Ian, a teacher of the agricultural sciences. Her early upbringing on the Happy Grove Campus of Portland, Jamaica was surrounded by exchange teachers that spanned the globe and fostered a love of art, music and fashion of all cultures. She began performing on stage at the age of five. After immigrating to the United States and graduating high school at 16, she attended Miami Dade College, studying business and accounting. She received private voice instruction for three years with Dr. Carolyn Stanford, the former head of the Musical Theater Department of University of Miami. Her career has taken her all over the world working for the Hyatt hotels in Europe and Asia and ultimately back to the United States. Settling into a quiet life in Palm Beach County, she has been a favorite at several well known restaurants, most notably Cafe L'Europe in Palm Beach and The Blue Martini Franchise.

“THE CATCH PHRASES BECOME TIRESOME TO THE UNINITIATED AND EVENTUALLY THE DESPERATE EVANGELIZING

REALLY PISSES PEOPLE OFF. DO YOU SEE THE PATTERN HERE?”

Self-Help

by Jonathan Hunt I’ve thought about writing a self-help book.

I mean, after all, who hasn’t? Each of us is an expert on something, right? (My mom thinks I make some pretty snazzy art, by the way) However, my own urge is born more out of frustration than any true altruistic desire to assist people in reaching their goals.

What am I frustrated about, you ask? Selfhelp books of course! The whole concept of “self-help” is oxymoronic to me.

“TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE” (but you have to follow my rules to do it) “RELEASE THE RAMPANT CREATIVITY WITHIN!” (by following all of these carefully planned steps) “BECOME A MARKETING GENIUS!” (hey, I got you to buy this book, didn’t I?) In an ideal world, you would purchase one of these books (for example: How to be Interesting and not Piss People Off). You would read it, and live a better life. Problem solved, right? But invariably, after all the self-evaluation quizzes and meditative 14

exercises, the new acolyte goes forth and attempts to convert others to the enlightened path they are now walking. The catch phrases become tiresome to the uninitiated and eventually the desperate evangelizing really pisses people off. Do you see the pattern here?

Self-help writers profess to a desire to assist and encourage people in achieving their goals, yet the genre sustains itself by creating a need in readers for more. It’s like an annoying little uroboros chomping on its own tail while spinning about in endless ironic circles. To paraphrase a famous ad slogan-- “Betcha can’t read just one”. Sure, it starts out innocently enough-- A little Bob Ross now and then never hurt anybody, right? Time blurs and you are spending hours in Barnes & Noble taking notes on The Artist’s Way, and articles in ImagineFX and HOW magazine. During break time at the coffee shop you catch yourself sneaking peeks at Lynda.com instructional videos.

Then before you know it, you’re hooking up in the back alley behind the art school to trade your prized set of Magic the Gathering cards for the latest bootlegged Gnomon tutorials. Flash forward to the Artists Anonymous meeting where you stutter your way through the dark tale of your downward spiral to a flickering fluorescent-

lit room full of nodding heads hunched over styrofoam cups. It’s a bleak image straight out of a Terry Gilliam film.

OK, so now I sound like a sarcastic jerk.

Yet every once in a while, I still get the feeling that I could write the ultimate guide on How To Produce Great Art & Live a Fulfilling Life (or at least 10 Steps to Becoming a Sarcastic Jerk). The book would be a compact hardcover that you could carry with you on your creative journey. It would be adorned with a simple, yet elegant cover, perhaps with a small innocuous illustration. On the back there would be inspirational and uplifting quotes from luminaries like Stephen Hawking, Kim Kardashian, Kahlil Gibran and Yogi Berra. Inside, it would be blank except for the first page, which would say something like: “Do what you gotta do. Do it again. Keep doing it until you get it right. Then do it differently. Or don’t. Be good to people and animals. Try to laugh a little more and watch your cholesterol. Now put this book back on the shelf and get your ass to work.”

(Perhaps I should have read that marketing book after all…)

"DON'T GIVE UP! DON'T EVER GIVE UP!"- JIM VALVANO

Don't Give Up

by Jennifer Love Gironda

How does this relate to Art Hive? To art?

To you? Stay with me. I find inspiration in everything. Often athletics mimic the arts, the amount of commitment and dedication it takes to be a success. Passion is passion, regardless of whether it is found in front of the canvas, on the stage or even on the field or court. I think that Jimmy V’s words can be applied to the everyday struggles that we go through. The message for this article is just that simple, don’t give up. Ever.

Relating this on a personal level…if you know anything about me, then you know that I have committed to making art every day. I am entering my third year of this commitment, and I have made art and have been creative without fail every day, resulting in over 1000 works of art. And I want to do something with all that art. I want to 16

MARCH / APRIL 2014

sell my work. I want to show my work in galleries. I want to see my art out in the world.

But I have faced obstacles, and have even thought a few times…maybe I should just stop making art.

Wow, I can’t believe I just typed that. I can’t believe I even thought about that, but it’s true. I was into year one of making art every day and I was trying to figure out where my work “belongs”. It doesn’t look like the work in the galleries…so I thought about art licensing. I did my research, looked up about a hundred different art licensing companies, searching for ones where my work might fit in…and I think I submitted to close to fifty agencies. And then…the rejection emails started coming. Like, tons of them. I did get a handful of positive comments (along with “sorry not interested”)… but no takers. And I specifically remember one night in particular, talking to Jess and crying because I just felt so down. I was crying when I went to sleep and I remember having the thought right before I went to sleep…that maybe I should just stop, stop making art. Find something else to do with my time.

But you know what? I didn’t quit, I didn’t give up. Art is what I love.

People are going to tell you no. They are going to ignore you. They might not like you; they may not like your work. At some point, you might question yourself as an artist. Don’t. Just keep moving forward.

There is always someone out there fighting a battle far more difficult than anyone can imagine, people battling health issues, death…we are all in this fight called life, and we have to believe and stay motivated to keep living, to keep creating. I bet that your art helps you make it through the darkest times, hold on to that light. Don’t let anyone stop you.

There are so many inspirational people out there that keep me going. Friends, family, other artists past and present. But I always think of Jimmy V, his show of strength and courage and optimism. I know that these words can be applied to just about any struggle that may come our way. Keep going. Don’t give up. Ever.

I would like to dedicate this article to my husband, John, who will earn his PhD by the time this comes to print. It has been a long, difficult journey. John, your mom would be proud of you. You never gave up, you reached your goal and you inspire me every day.

Growing up in North Carolina, these words by former North Carolina State University Basketball coach Jim Valvano were engrained into my head from a young age.

He is known not only for the 1983 NCAA championship victory, but for his battle with cancer and creation of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. When I think of motivation, these words always fill my ears.

the creative VOICE “… FIVE DAYS LATER, MY RETINA EXPLODED AND FIVE DAYS AFTER THAT I DID MY FIRST INK DRAWING…”

The Awakening Of Pen And Ink Artist

Anthony Cephas

by Lucy Lazarony

LUCY: On Dec. 5, 2012, you rounded a corner and saw a young woman being beaten.

The decision to help her changed your life.

Would you talk about that experience and how it led you to begin drawing again after a 30-year absence?

AC: I basically crashed through four guys to get to the girl. They made me pay for it. They proceeded to beat me senselessly and recklessly. I got kicked in the head and I was knocked out… five days later, my retina exploded and five days after that I did my first ink drawing… now I almost can’t stop drawing. It’s like a switch was turned on and there’s no off-switch. And I know I’m in this place that’s unchartered territory.

I know I’m drawing what hasn’t been done before.

LUCY: What did you draw for your first ink drawing?

MARCH / APRIL 2014

AC: I scribbled the Last Supper, the Apostles; I had limited eyesight when I did it. This opened the door for everything else that followed.

LUCY: Why did you choose Anthony Cephas as your artist name?

AC: I chose Cephas after Peter in the Bible.

That night a lot of spirituality rose to the surface. To an extent, part of me was murdered and another identity has come through to send messages in my art. I truly believe I can communicate on so many things that affect humanity through my art.

pencil and eraser. How long does it take to complete one of your drawings?

AC: These are 50- to 60- hour drawings.

Most of them are 4 days straight of drawing.

LUCY: You like to draw in Spot Coffee in Delray Beach. What do you enjoy most about creating art in public places?

AC: All sorts of people get so much joy out of my work. Kids stop. It’s inspiring…I ask a lot of people (their) opinions. More and more if I like someone’s idea, I draw it. It tests me. I like it.

LUCY: How would you describe your drawings?

LUCY: What advice do you have for other artists?

AC: Spiritual, social commentary, architectural, optical illusion in nature. Some are just fun. I would compare it to running a super-marathon. Today, I started drawing at 1 (p.m.) and I won’t stop until 4 in the morning.

AC: If you let life get in the way and you put your talent on the back burner, you’ll never know what you could have been or what you could have done. It’s never too late.

LUCY: Your drawing tools are pen, paper,

when creativity means

BUSINESS

DOWNTOWN WEST PALM BEACH'S

Raphael Clemente

by Angela Yungk Art has become a fundamental driver for economic growth in cities, creating a demand for creativity and innovation. West Palm Beach has jumped on the bandwagon of using artists to transform their downtown areas into vibrant and interesting pieces of artwork. From mural painted stairwells, to art wrapped mailboxes, downtown West Palm is revitalizing Clematis Street into an arts and entertainment district that brings art to the forefront of the community.

“Raphael Clemente, Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority, has been contributing to the improvement and renewal of the Downtown District since 2006. A self-described “urbanist”, Mr. Clemente is a forceful advocate for the community and works hand in hand with stakeholders to address wide ranging issues affecting the Downtown. As a lifelong resident of the area, he combines local knowledge with over a decade of experience in urban planning, community development, and project management to move Downtown West Palm Beach toward the DDA’s long-term goals: economic strength, vibrancy, sustainability, and improved quality of life for residents and visitors alike.”-West Palm Beach DDA In Raphael's own words:

“We thought, what a great idea to just make the stairs at the Evernia Garage blow up with art work.

We have been working with mural artists; we are working with Art Synergy and Art Palm Beach. When we think about how we can define downtown as a vibrant, exciting, unique, and alive place, one of the most powerful tools to use for that is art. If we invest in a mural or wrap a big ugly metal box with art or graphics, that one investment yields ten times or even a hundred times what it costs us to do.

Big picture, we will be The West Palm Beach Arts and Entertainment District. I want to bring in even more to the area. What we are doing is working with all the existing partners, branding it, giving it a name and launching it out there to the world.”

EYE CANDY the works of

ERIN FROMKES From the moment Erin B. Fromkes "Eebee" had her first Crayola in hand, her existence has encapsulated what it is to be an artist.

This paint obsessed dreamer's philosophy is that the entire world is a canvas! Following in the footsteps of other successful family artists, including her inspiration, Grandfather Elliot, Erin’s talent has led her on an eclectic journey. After majoring in visual arts and earning her a degree from SUNY New Paltz in 2001, Fromkes has continued on a path of artistic achievement, encompassing freelance work to formerly owning a small mural / faux finishing business.

Most recently she has shown in several group art shows. With work wide in scope, canvas paintings, collage and a mix of digital art are amongst her favorite mediums. Garments from her exciting paint clothing collection generated a lot of buzz at the 2014 Armory Art Centers’ “Fashion Artillery”, taking first place honors.

Fromkes's abilities have developed alongside great personal adversity through her struggles with chronic illness. Therefore, feelings exuded through many of her pieces have a tendency to connect viewers to the multitude of emotions stemming from this type of lifestyle. In 2012, Fromkes launched a global art awareness project online from underneath the blankets of her bed. “Hope Hands for a Cause” advocates recognition & positive change for the future to those suffering with invisible illnesses such as Lyme Disease, CFS/ ME, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, RA, MS, POTS, EDS and so on. By 2013, the project’s popularity doubled and hands of hope proudly hung from the streets of London to the treetops of South Florida! Sprinkling color, light, love and joy in the dark, this ambitious fighter’s mission is to continue to advocate artistically, regain her health, inspire others and create meaningful art as often as she possibly can.

The Living Legend Is Back

PHIL COLLINS Interview by Angela Yungk

four decades Phil Collins has been an integral part of the pop music landscape. From his classic love songs, to F ortheover iconic, gated reverb drum sound from the classic “In the Air Tonight”, Phil Collins has impacted the masses through his music. The same day Art Hive Magazine interviewed Phil Collins, he revealed to Inside South Florida he is back to work with Grammy award winner Adele. "I've just started to work with Adele," he said. "I wasn't actually too aware…I live in a cave, but she's achieved an incredible amount. I really love her voice. I love some of this stuff she's done, too." With his overwhelmingly impressive resume, Phil Collins proves to be an unstoppable musical force. Art Hive Magazine was honored to sit down and talk with the living legend.

Angela: I know you started out in the performing arts.

What lead you to the path of music?

Phil: Music was first. I was given a drum when I was three and I took to it so much that my uncles made me a little drum kit for me when I was five. I use to sit in the living room and play the beats of the drums to the television.

Angela: Oh, to the beats of the music?

Phil: Yeah, to the variety TV shows. It was quite a drum kit.

There was never any doubt in my mind; music would be what I would do. Then of course the Beatles happened and I got very serious about the whole thing and at the age of 12 I got myself a proper drum kit and started growing my hair a little bit. I went to drama school at 13 and that widened my field, into as you said, “performing in the arts.” I was in Oliver the musical and I had a big part in that. In those days you couldn’t be in a band.

You had no musical opportunities until you were a teenager or older. I saw it as a way to stay in the business. But soon as I could I left drama school and started to be a full time musician. I went from band to band until I eventually ended up with Genesis when I was 19.

Angela: That’s a pretty young age.

Phil: Yeah, when I think now, I think about it with my sons, one is 12 and I think, “Wow, seven years time, I joined Genesis.” It was young.

Angela: A lot of your songs are very emotional and seem to come from an intimate place. Have you always been comfortable with being so open in your music?

Phil: I never saw a reason to hide it. My first album was not really made to be an album. I was married and we split up and really the time frame worked out that I was going to leave Genesis and go to Vancouver to try to make my marriage work.

So I started to write. When I came back from Vancouver and things had not changed, I had a lot of time on my hands. I was influenced by what had happened. I wrote to occupy myself, not to write an album. That was the last thing I was thinking about. A year later I accumulated all these songs, I played them for my manager who wanted to know what I had been up to and to my dear friend, founder of Atlantic Records Ahmet Ertegun and he said “Wow, these are fantastic songs. You should make them into an album and I will do whatever I can.” The demos I made of these songs became my first album. So for me it was always what I did, I wrote songs, it never embarrassed me that people would know what was going on in my life.

Angela: Is there a particular song or album that you find speaks to you the most?

Phil: There are a lot, Both Sides and Testify are my favorite records.

Angela: Now that you haven’t been performing for a while, do you have a creative outlet? Are you still writing songs?

Phil: I just started again. I viewed music as the enemy. It took me away from where I wanted to be many times. I vowed that I wouldn’t do that anymore. It’s a cockeyed way of looking at it, but I viewed I had been a slave to my career, I always said yes.

Mainly because it was always a great opportunity, working with this person, working with that person. How could I refuse this?

And suddenly, then the kids are grown up and I didn’t want that to happen again. When I went out in 2004 and did my first farewell tour, it was a joke title, but it was meant to be my last tour and it really was. I realize that there is a creative side to me that is not getting "off ". You know? I am thinking about starting to write again.

Angela: Going on to your charity, The Little Dreams Foundation, what inspired you to start it?

Phil: Well, anything that is achieved is due to her (Orianne). It was one of those things. I had been receiving letters from kids, asking can you help me, can you help me get a foot in the door?

We thought, why don’t we form a foundation? I drew the logo in one evening and it was set. We have had a lot of success with the kids. You can’t help everyone but you can try your best.

Angela: Well that’s great! At least you didn’t just say, “Hey go to YouTube, we can't help you!” You made a foundation out of it, (laughing).

Phil: Well yeah…(laughing) YouTube didn’t exist then, when we started this foundation.

Angela: What is your opinion of YouTube? Do you think that it's a good way for people to “make it” ?

Phil: Yes I do. You just post it and people will pick up on it, they pick up on the most original things. I have been putting together a kind of retrospective look on my music. I went on YouTube to look for a few things that I did not have and I found them…of course. I found something that was never out, that I never finished back about 15 years ago and it was on YouTube!

Now I am going to go back and finish that song!

Angela: So what is your next venture?

Phil: Well, my record company said we think the time is right to do a collection. I am always a little bit skeptical on doing a collection and on doing a package because my fans buy everything! I feel sorry for them (laughing) buying something they already have!

D I Y CHALKBOARD PAINT .

.

by Jessie Prugh

One of the easiest things you can do to change the feel of a space is to simply change the paint. While I may have short term relationships with my paint colors,(we repaint the inside of our home almost every year) one thing that I've managed to always have somewhere in my home is a chalk board. They are fun, cheap and easy to make and will get plenty of use. Write lists, notes, and doodles. Then rinse and repeat.

The perfect pop of fun and color for the color commitment-phobe.

2009

NOW THIS

2014

Supplies: -Your favorite color latex paint -Large bucket/container -Paint roller or sponge paint brush -Mixing attachment for drill or paint stirrer -Powdered, non-sanded grout Step 1-MIX: Measure according to how much area you need to cover. Use ratio mix of 1 part grout to 8 parts paint together in your container. Example for every 1 cup of paint you use, you would add 2 tablespoons of grout.

Mix very well until mixture is completely smooth.

Step 2-PREP: Make sure the surface 32

MARCH / APRIL 2014

you are painting is completely smooth.

Since you are going to be writing on the surface, imperfections will be noted more so if they are there so make sure to patch and sand the surface before painting.

Clean the smooth surface thoroughly, leaving no residue behind.

Step 3- PAINT: Use the roller for large spaces or the sponge paint brush for the smaller spaces. Apply 2 thorough coats over surface, allowing paint to dry between each coat. Allow 3 days for paint to fully cure before using your new chalkboard and then.... VoilĂ ! You are ready! Clean with a damp cloth between masterpieces!

VIEWPOINT

SOCIAL MEDIA

Marketing for Artists

by Dr. John Gironda While most people are aware of the possible benefits of using social media to showcase and promote their art, many people are reluctant to fully implement its use or don’t even know where to begin.

So for this article I wanted to discuss a few fundamental concepts that fit quite nicely into the world of social media marketing that might be helpful for artists. To keep it fairly concise I wanted to discuss three main concepts (1) Need Fulfillment (2) Targeting and (3) Differentiation.

Why fundamentals? Although social networking sites and social media are relatively new trends for consumers and businesses (I know they’ve been around a little while now, but in the grand scheme of things they’re still pretty new), most of the fundamentals of good marketing still apply.

That’s great news because it means that although social media has its own unique characteristics that must be accounted for, we don’t have to completely throw out all of the old tried and true methods. In addition, this also means that despite the fact that individual social media sites and platforms might fall in and out of favor, you can still utilize fundamental techniques to achieve your goals no matter what the trendy platform of the minute might be.

There are a ton of business fundamentals that most certainly apply to social media marketing for artists. The first one I wanted to discuss is that of need fulfillment. In marketing one of the fundamental concepts of a great offering (product, service, event, artwork, etc.) is that it does an excellent job of fulfilling a particular need. So even though you might be using the new medium of social media to promote your art, remember to always emphasize the specific 34

ART HIVE MAGAZINE

|

MARCH / APRIL 2014

benefits that your particular art provides or the core need(s) that it fulfills. This might seem overly simplistic, but doing this will help to make your art stand out and help in connecting with people on a more meaningful level. When that happens they’re much more likely to be interested in you and your art.

other social media marketing insights that might be useful for artists such as engagement, branding, online content creation, and relationship marketing. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested in further discussing any of the topics mentioned here or any other areas that might be on your mind.

The next fundamental concepts that I wanted to discuss were those of targeting and differentiation. Targeting involves dividing up the overall market into individuals who share common interests and courting those individuals who you think will be most interested in you (or your art). Differentiation extends on that idea and suggests that in order to best court those individuals you’ve identified through targeting you need to emphasize the characteristics you possess (or your art possess) in order to stand out to those individuals. While differentiation might seem hard to do, if you bring it back to targeting it’s actually really easy. You don’t have to come up with a laundry list of a million things that make you unique, just emphasize who you are and what you do and the people interested in that will see the differentiation in you automatically. These fundamentals remain the same regardless of whether someone is having a face to face conversation with you, following you on Twitter, or liking a photo of your art on Facebook or Instagram. Let people know what you and your art are about and no matter what the individual social media site or platform you’ll stand out to the appropriate audience.

Dr. John Gironda (jgironda@nova.edu) is an Assistant Professor of Marketing at Nova Southeastern University. He received his Ph.D. from Florida Atlantic University. His teaching and research interests include Internet and Social Media Marketing, Advertising, Branding, Consumer Behavior, Marketing Strategy, and Consumer Privacy Issues. His research has been published in the Journal of Marketing Management and the European Journal of International Management. He has also presented papers at a number of academic conferences including the American Marketing Association Summer Educator’s Conference, the Academy of Marketing Science World Marketing Congress and the International Colloquium on Consumer Brand Relationships.

I hope this brief discussion of fundamental concepts as they apply to social media marketing for artists was helpful. In future writings I hope to dig a little deeper and discuss

Artisan Brush Cleaner Tough on paint, gentle on skin.

The passion that we at Dance4Art share is caused by the smile's on the faces of all those kids that we teach through our art programs.

While we are passionately encouraging the arts, safety has our top priority. That is why we contacted The United Soap Factory

and asked them if we could use and distribute their non toxic safety-brush-cleaner. We are now their exclusive distributor, which helps to support our art teaching programs. Our Artisan Brush Cleaner vigorously removes Oil and Acrylic Paints from brushes and other surfaces including skin.

It replaces unhealthy, even toxic chemicals such as Turpentine, Mineral Spirits and other cleaners that contain solvents. Artisan Brush Cleaner not only removes paints, you will be surprised how easily it removes grease, oil, glue, resin, and other hard to remove chemicals from surfaces around home and studio. Our soap is rapidly becoming the artist's number one choice of all-round cleaner.

It is the only one in its class, that has been tested on humans and certified by a dermatologist to be non-irritant and non-allergic.

Location: West Palm Beach, Fl www.ArtisanBrushCleaner.com Shop.ArtisanBrushCleaner.com (Online Store)

Selling Artisan Brush Cleaner helps us support our passion for joining people and art. Thank you for your help.

Armory Art Center’s Fashion Artillery Event Celebrates Creative Genius Of Local Artists To say the Armory Art Center’s Feb. 6 Fashion ARTillery wearable art runway show was “over the top” in creative genius would be an understatement. The standing room only crowd of 300 plus cheered the inventive and creative fashion-as-art entries as 36 models strutted the runway in everything from a multi-colored ensemble created from sliced pool noodles, to a dress createdfrom recycled trash bags to a black sheath gown festooned with translucent feathers fashioned from plastic milk jugs. Pop up boutique shops offered party-goers the opportunity to buy unique handmade jewelry and fashion accessories in this one-nightonly opportunity. Fashion ARTillery resulted in $45,000 in income to the Armory Art Center.

Judges for the fashion included design consultant and fashion editor and stylist Michael Borden, WPTV and WFLX News Anchor Shannon Cake, and WhiteSpace Gallery owner and contemporary art collector Elayne Mordes. They chose as the top three entries first place: Erin B. Fromkes’ “All Tomorrow’s Parties” entry of recycled paint-festooned wearable art swag; second place: Kremer Shell’s “Odiele” entry of a hand-painted clear plastic asymmetrical top and peplum skirt in a playful take on the fading distinction between privacy and disclosure in modern society; and third place: Aqua, an ocean-inspired two piece outfit designed by Eden Manresa, modeled by fellow Dreyfoos School of the Arts sophomore Lauren Courtemanche, with scales on the skirt constructed form melted plastic bags and a top fashioned from a fishing net. The Runway Host was renowned interior designer andlifestyle expert Melissa Parker. More info @ www.armoryart.org

FILM

GETTING STARTED on your script...

by Alexander Chimienti

Great writing is something that people assume just flows from a few naturally creative individuals. Without a doubt there are people who it comes more naturally to and in a sense who have an easier time with it. No matter where you are on the talent spectrum however, anyone will tell you that your first draft is going to be garbage. This is the first key to great writing: realizing that despite the stereotyped image of the frenzied writer working late into the night and finishing their manuscript in one sitting, it requires time and effort. A lot of people can be intimidated by this fact, taking it as a mountain of effort to climb before they hit decency. The relieving factor of it comes in the fact that you’re writing will flow so much smoother once you accept that it’ll need to be refined either way. Don’t just sit there in front of your computer frantically hitting back on the keyboard as you struggle to find the right verb. Spit it all out, give it time to sit, and then go through it again and fix up the redundancies and errors.

At this point you’re feeling like a master.

Boom, move out the way everyone. Well, I’m sorry but there is more. People, and especially the creative types, are usually flogged down by their own imaginative exercises every day, i.e. day dreaming. We sit around thinking of things that would be so cool and oh my god how has no one thought of this, I’m going to make it big etc. Some people think these ideas would be best suited for the big screen, picturing a scene or piece of dialogue that would put all other films to shame. Then you start to realize that’s all you have. Unfortunately, building a movie around one scene isn’t really doable. You’re reading this wondering “well alright, what do I build my script around?” Or you’re not, but then this article kind of loses its charm so just play pretend and justify the existence of my contribution.

Thanks.

Cool. So to this question I actually have a pretty simple answer but it grows more complex as you let it stew. You need to 40

MARCH / APRIL 2014

“...ANYONE WILL TELL YOU THAT YOUR FIRST DRAFT IS GOING TO BE GARBAGE.”

know who you’re main character is and what do they want. From this everything else will flow. The thing is, the want can’t be something like “to find meaning in life” or “to be happy”. It’s too broad and leaves you running in circles when finding a direction for the story. This is probably the part I struggled with the most when I started writing and to be honest the only way to get through it is practice. The point of a specific physical want is that it gives the hero a quest and from this we get their obstacles to overcome. Great stories are about the protagonist trying to get what they want. Whether they do or don’t is up to you and either works depending on what you’re going for.

I feel the need to elaborate on how to turn an abstract want into a physical one because like I said this can be the greatest challenge. Let’s say you’ve just gone through a terrible break up, the likes of which have scarred your very being until the end of time. This inspires you; you grab a pen and paper and start making notes of what kind of character you’d want to write about and what happens to them. People like the truth, so you decide to use a lot of material from your experience in the story.

Everything is good, coffee works your mind like a race horse and you have, that your character wants to find someone special.

Someone special? This lacks dramatic tension. I get what you’re going for but it just doesn’t provide the conflict we need.

A little bit more detail though and this struggle becomes something engaging. Maybe you’re protagonist is on a couple’s retreat, by themselves, and decides that before the weekend is up they want to meet their true love. You still have the ambiguity and now there is a clock on it which is a great trick to add tension.

With these basics, you can let your imagination run free and produce some pretty moving material. As fun as the Art Hive Indie Film Reviews were I will now be continuing with articles that cover different aspects of writing and film. I’ve had experience with a lot of dimensions of film, from sound and editing to directing and acting so there’s more good stuff on the way. If you have any specific area you’d be interested in, feel free to email me so that I can get to work on it for the next entry.

Final words: Seriously, don’t be afraid to revise.
