R E S E T

Good intentions don’t mean S**T, it’s action that counts and clearly I’ve not followed through this year.

I’ll come clean, I’ve lacked direction and a clear vision this year…I’m letting the last week of 2011 fade away; and the mediocrity with it.

On the 31st of December the reset button will be pushed, no crazy resolutions will be made, just a promise to focus on action.

Until then, I’ve cleaned out most of the old posts and left a few things which are still useful.

When money isn’t the motivator?

I’ve progressed through several distinct career phases in my life and as I now begin to consolidate some key skills and work towards the next career goals I’ve become acutely aware that money isn’t what motivates me.

Sure, I want more of it, but in the times that’s I’ve tried to chase it, things seem to go a little pear shaped. Bearing this in mind I’m trying to better understand what motivates me and to use what I’m learning to propel me to the next stages in my life…as all this is happening I stumbled across this video on Brisbane artists site Sofles.com

enjoy!

Great photo filtering resource

I’m not really into flickr, but  this is my  favorite spot to find interesting and illusive images – Flickr Storm.

I don’t know how, but  I always find just the images I need on there. It’s one of the best FREE things around, I’ve used this for 2 years now and thought I should make a special effort to put everyone onto it. All the images are good quality. Anyone who spends a lot of time writing presentations and reports will get a lot of use out of this, when they need that special image -  give it a try by clicking on the icon below.

my favourite so far is this DJ Food mix created for UK radio. Pop your head phones on and go gold mining!

you don’t know who you’re messin’ with

 Banksy became one of the most recognised names and in world throughout the 2000′s and an art mega brand. Despite making his name in the streets and unlike Kaws and Shepard Fairey remaining anonymous, his credibility has always been in doubt amongst hardcore graffiti writers.

Personally I dig his painting concepts, however his street credibility received a massive blow recently as he accidently destroyed work with major historical significance.

Given the story people buy into when they purchase a Banksy piece, how will this faux pas damage the value of brand Banksy in an already fickle art world?
