featured artist 08.07: Thievery Corporation

These guys create some of the most amazing music by blirring the lines between genres and ultimately creating a new, very engaging experience. I've been listening to them for years and they're usually in my cd player when I'm working...www.thieverycorporation.com

featured creatives and new directions

For quite a while I've been posting articles about featured artists, designers, photographers, etc; until now the selected individuals or studios had been within the realm of the visual arts. In order to broaden the base of inspiration within my blog, I've decided to include creatives from other disciplines and industries such as musicians or individuals that have started creative endeavors (profit or non-profit).

I hope you enjoy the new additions to this group of articles!

caffeinated update...

It's funny how much you can accomplish when you nearly cut yourself off from the rest of the world! Ok, so I didn't cut myself off completely but sometimes you have to step back and focus in order to make progress.

I've been hard at work on some mixed media and illustration work, I'm gettting ready to start on a new graphic design project, and the additional photography that I am installing in Capitol Eyes is almost ready for matting/framing so things are moving along! I've started on a new "journal" along the lines of my journal that I wrote about a while back...it's a different direction, more idea-based, but it's proving to be very interesting and useful.

I've decided to post a new article every week to keep things fresh; if there are any topics you would like to read articles about in my blog, feel free to contact me at "info at joe blend dot com". Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that all ideas will be accepted (for various reasons) but I'll do my best to tailor some articles around specific interests of my readers. Thanks again for all your support and check back soon for new stuff!
