WHY YOU NEED A CREATIVE AGENCY?
The creative agency seems mysterious many time. A creative agency is like a director of a film who works behind the scenes to create an awesome movie for the audience. They focus on creating human experiences that help companies to relate or have direct contact with the people, in an adorable way they can understand.

Love/Hate Relationship with Markers
When it comes to art supplies there is one things that I mostly avoid these days and that is alcohol markers. Now don't get me wrong they can work really effectively HOWEVER more often than not in my personal experience they are nothing more than flit tip pens that you would use as a child.

Do Starving Artists Actually Exist?
Is art made by the elite for the elite? What happens to the few struggling artists who make it big, get representation, and begin to sell their work? Are they now considered in cahoots with the elite and therefore does their art change with their status?

The Red Barn Loft Art
Like many children, Kim Lansdell loved to draw and paint. Unlike many children, she showed enough talent to earn a fine arts diploma in 1999. Having met the man of her dreams, she married, started a family, and art fell by the wayside. It was only a few years ago, her children now older, that she decided to make art a priority in her life again.

The Creative Process
I have a love-hate relationship with the creative process. Some days, I wake up feeling super inspired and motivated to work on all my projects; other days, I wake up and can barely find the motivation to get out of bed. It’s hard to explain, let alone, understand why creativity comes to me at such inconsistent and unpredictable times. I guess it feels like I never really know what I'm doing until I've done it; which can be extremely frustrating, confusing, scattered, unreliable, etc. at times. Over the years, I've learned to just embrace it though.

No Handshake - No Art
I grew up in the backwoods of Kentucky, where my parents, my sisters, and I lived a homestead life of homegrown food and hard work. One of my fondest memories was helping my parents pack Tupperware boxes full of items they created by hand without the aid of machines or electricity, and heading to the fairs. My parents were artisans – people who worked with their hands and imagination, creating works of art that brought joy for many people. They were part of a community that greeted each other on early Saturday mornings at arts and crafts fairs, carnivals, farmers markets, and the little shop venues on small-town main streets or outside the bustling of urban sprawls. We would unload those boxes full of handcrafted works of art, setting them delicately on folding tables, and waited, hoping passersby would catch sight of one or two items they found wonderful. There were many times when events would provide little money; yet, we would venture back to make more works of art and hope for the best another time, making the best of what we had and being grateful. I would watch my dad, Craig, bend over his workbench late at night with carving tools and bitten lip, giving everything into his craft and creating works of instrumental wonder that people became so fond of.
