-Be the squeaky wheel....

I am not sure if many of you are aware of my super powers, invisibility to attractive ladies and bartenders and the ability to win raffles like a champ....  For a while now I have been winning concert tickets from 107.1 KZME.  I win every time I call to the point that they asked me to stop winning so much.  Pow!  Anyway, after the concert they sent an email reminding you that they live off donations.  I was trying to figure out if I could donate and item, rather than money, and got into some correspondence with a station manager about it.  While I had her ear, I started to talk about what we are trying to do here in Skill - PDX.  She turned me on to an organization called the RACC, Regional Arts & Cultural Council.  https://www.racc.org/  Their focus is to support the arts, whether it be to help get the word out about events or with a grant....  There are also classes taking place that are about helping folks get their creative businesses going.  KZME, http://www.kzme.fm/events/, has an events page that also has things of interest for the art community.  I believe these can be valuable resources, and wanted to post them....

Yard, Garden, and Patio Show 02/28/14....

Hey All,

The Yard, Garden, and Patio show is coming up, about a month away.  Just wanted to throw out the exhibitors page on their site so that you can see the costs, better prices than the crappier show I attended; http://ygpshow.com/exhibitors.php.  See how you can fit into this show.  Don't be linked to the words in the name, this is a market with consumers ready buy and coming to you.  The other show had a "craftsman" row, and had organic and fine woodworking furniture, metal tables, and anything crafty....  I am trying to find my way in for barter, but I know I need to be at this show.  People go there to see what's new and cutting edge, so be there for them to see you....

Some "crafty" design inspiration.

I particularly like the first project one and the fourth one...This guy has a few videos like this floating around.

 

(...there has got to be more then just french guys doing cool stuff...)

Cool Dresser...

Joe passed this on to me a few weeks ago and I thought it was worth spreading...For me it helps my mind break out of some form conventions.
