…NOW HERE ARE THE FULL STORIES…

(Editor’s note: We are so proud of Meg for following her dreams. When we first met she said she one day wanted to be the “Japanese Oprah.” Well she is on her way and we wish her the best…)

Meg Mimura, TV Critic, and Japanese Language Post Production Coach- “Tony, How have you been? Since I do get your Creative Updates frequently, I trust that you’re doing well.

Today, I have some good news.

1) Netflix movie Earthquake Bird will be released in November at last. I worked as a Japanese Language Post Production Coach in November 2018 to February 2019, but the film was shot in June 2017 in Japan. Below is the link to the trailer. I haven’t seen the final version so I’m hoping they didn’t make a lot of changes after I was finished with the project. You’ll never know...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L50zp0Qu8yI

Working on Earthquake Bird was the best experience I’ve ever had in the industry. I believe that was a gift from the Universe.

I was lucky enough to have an agent negotiating my terms and clearly saw the difference in the way the post production house treated me. I’ve never been given such power to nitpick and perfect Japanese dialogues; the director was a perfectionist, but a nice and humble kind. I got respect not only from the director but also from the people I worked with closely. That was the job of my dreams!

2) I still write TV reviews both in English and Japanese. Honestly, I enjoy writing in English these days.

(Excerpts from the notice of the event:)

“To deface is to spoil the appearance of something. but in the moment of defacing a wall there is a simultaneous act of creation of a new visual entity…an ephemeral work of art. Interestingly, creating that new art frequently includes the representation of a face in one artistic for or another. Faces are one of the most common visual icons seen on walls and declare the presence of people…one proof of life in the city.

Faces on a city wall are, metaphorically ‘selfies’ created without a camera and are part of the composition and mystery of each wall I photograph.”

…NOW HERE ARE THE FULL STORIES…

We look forward to their self-discoveries and their successes.

Testimonials from former Crafting a Meaningful Career class members:

: "...this class offered lessons designed to get in touch with where your passion lies..."

"...helped me to redefine my goals and determine the steps to get there..."

"...confirmed my decision to make this important change in my career..."

- Doug Breuninger, Automotive Artist- “Yesterday took some friends from Germany for a Sunday funday to visit the Petersen Automotive Museum and discovered the fellas in the store gave my post-it art work a little more visibility then previously... also didn’t hurt that we got complimentary admission into the museum on top #grateful — at the Petersen Automotive Museum.”

-Garrisson Pena, Photographer- “Hi Tony, Garrisson here and back! With a new term finally underway, I was thinking of you the other day and as usual, would love to keep you posted on stuff that’s been going on.

First off, I’d like to say that I appreciate and thank you for spotlighting me on your blog as reading it and looking at makes me feel sentimental and proud of being an Art Center graduate. I thank you for that and I love to share that with the rest of the world.

As part of my updates, the new image above is one of my favorite drone shots as of yet, entitled: Breathe. I took this photo in Cambria, CA at Moonstone Beach. Cambria is a great, quaint little town along the Central California Coast for a great getaway and just to recharge. For me, it was a chance to, Breathe.

Second, I am looking to take another step towards drone and fine-art landscape photography. For the past two months, I have been doing a lot of research such as buying maps of different countries around the world and beginning the process of planning out future travels of what I would call: photo odysseys. As a teaser of this list, places that I want to travel to are Iceland, Norway, Italy, and French Polynesia. Before committing to any of those places, I want to burst right out of the gate with practicing this process in my own backyard of California. This November, during the Thanksgiving Week, I will be traveling to Death Valley National Park and then to the Monterey Peninsula. In Death Valley, I plan to shoot and spend a lot of time at the sand dunes. After DV, I will be in Monterey to harness opportunities with my drone along the pristine coastlines of Pebble Beach and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Both places I have been looking forward to going back to for some time, as now with a lot of experience under my belt, I will have fresh eyes to work with and look for things I didn’t see last time around.

And finally, I just celebrated the 50 Year Anniversary of Abbey Road. So I went all out and channeled my Beatles spirit by donning my Abbey Road t-shirt, drank out of my Abbey Road mug, and wired-in to listen to both the original album and the new 2019 remix album. Can’t believe we have reached 50 years celebrating one of the greatest albums of all time. My favorite songs on the album are I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Because, and Golden Slumbers. Great time to be a Beatlemaniac.

As always, I enjoy my conversations with you and can’t wait to see where life leads me. Hearing back from you and allowing me to share my stories because they are only extra motivation and incentive that keeps that spark going.

I hope all is well and hope your new round of students in both presentation classes is off to an excellent start.

Warm and Best Regards,”

Garrisson Peña

Is your work getting in the way of your creativity? Do you feel you have more to offer but there are too many obstacles in your way to allow you have a purposeful career? Are you ready for one of the most important changes in your working life and need a nudge to get started? Then you are ready to take a unique class through ArtCenter Extension titled. “Crafting a Meaningful Career-Part One-Discovering the Dream.”

This course is more than a class where the participants do the course work and, after a few tests, move on never to be heard from again. It is made up of a community of like-minded professionals willing to help each other achieve their career goals. “Crafting a Meaningful Career- Part One” was created to help mid-career professionals who are unhappy with their current career and are looking for the next best use of their talents. The course materials help the participants honestly look at what they like and don’t like about their current job, examine their entire lifetime of work versus personal accomplishments (successes and setbacks), compare creative strengths and weaknesses, complete an exercise on matching their creative assets to look for new job opportunities, and help their fellow classmates discover potential meaningful opportunities.

If this quote attributed to George Eliot resonates with you, “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” then this class is for you.”

Editor’s note: There was an article in the L. A. Times, Sunday August 18 which mentioned “Crafting a Meaningful Career” alum Vahe Alaverdian. It was in Section C, page 1 written by Hugo Martin titled, “Hiring a winged security force; Falconers keep seagulls, pigeons away from hotels, other sites.” We are very proud of your accomplishments Vahe and encouraged by your commitment and ingenuity. You story has inspired members of our classes, workshops, and lectures and we wish you continued success.

In the article it stated, “The use of predator birds has become so popular that Vahe Alaverdian, owner of Falcon Force, a California bird abatement company, has more job offers than his staff of 26 employees and 60 falcons and hawks can handle. ‘It’s an environment where you can’t do anything else,” he said of bird abatement. ‘Everything is about being sustainable and green.’”

- Garrison Pena, Environmental Photographer- “Hi Tony, …I had the opportunity to travel up to Alaska for 2 weeks and it was the trip of a lifetime. I would call it a “spiritual awakening” and without overexaggerating, an “artistic a-ha moment”, since I first got into photography. Alaska is the most beautiful place I have seen thus far in my lifetime, and when I came back to LA, I knew that I had to go back because there is so much more that I want to explore and photograph beyond my previous itinerary.

This photograph is entitled: Mystère. It was taken in Cantwell, Alaska at late twilight. I’ve always had a fascination with how fog, mist, and atmosphere affect light and how it impacts scenery, but being an LA-boy born and raised, our fog isn’t per se entirely artistic or pretty in a sense. So, I didn’t have the highest expectations in capturing fog when I went. Now upon reflection, that notion was ultimately put to shame when I saw how ethereal and ominous Alaska fog looked. Emotionally, I was so engulfed and overwhelmed wondering, is this really real? Am I seeing this fog or am I dreaming? It is one of the greatest feelings ever. As an artist, that’s when I can say, this is why I do what I do!!! And to quote you Tony, I LOVE TO DO WHAT I DO!!!

I love the outdoors and want to travel to see different places in the future. I aim to pursue my passion in landscape photography especially with aerial imagery and working with drones. But in all honesty, I am open to anything at this point and welcome all possibilities. I am excited to see where life takes me and of course, I will stay in touch and share with you everything that’s happening in my life.

Warm and Best Regards,

Garrisson Peña

Tony Luna Creative- Update- 7-31-2019

July 31, 2019/ Tony Luna

WE HAVE A LOT TO GET TO THIS MONTH SO HERE ARE THE FULL STORIES…

*****

- Kjell Van Sice, Photographer & Designer- “Dear Tony, I hope you're doing well! I've been meaning to write you for a moment…

I'm so excited to share this with you--among other things, I started working as an ambassador and team rider for two new companies, one of which is Starboard, one of the most influential waters ports companies in the industry! I'm giving them feedback on some specific types of equipment and helping push the lineup into the future with design concepts. This morning I got a request from Svein, the head of Starboard, asking me if I wanted to fly to Vancouver next week to represent the company at their North American distributer's meeting and present the 2020 lineup to the North American retailers--all 450 of them! It's at an international outdoor retailer show...and of course I said yes!

I can't say enough how much I use the skills we worked on in your classes on a daily basis. My work today is less about shooting and more about presenting, pitching, educating...the other company for which I am now an ambassador, the Avasol Foundation (part of Avasol sunscreen), is putting together a lecture and hands-on education program for kids that is a cooperative effort with Patagonia and Parley (a sustainability design firm from NYC). Next year I'll be traveling to Hawaii, Fiji, Puerto Rico and beyond in events to educate kids about plastic pollution and the role of design in it...

So excited to share with you all that is happening. Again, I just want to emphasize how useful everything that we have discussed in classes has been since I left school. I pitch myself on a truly daily basis to a wide variety of professionals...it's been making the difference for me in job interviews...and of course pitching big ideas to brands and influencers!

And I'm so lucky to have Steve Sjuggerud still very much in my life as well. The gentleman with whom I did the surf book--he flew to Thailand with me recently to help pitch me to Starboard. He's prepping me this week for Wednesday. We're prepping to knock it out of the park!

Looking forward to hearing from you and I hope classes and life are going well.

All the best.”

Kjell

Tony,

Thank you for your email. The talk went well, and the time slot I was initially told I’d have was about 15-20 minutes—I ended up being asked to speak for 2 hours (hah)! At least a plus there was that I could answer questions (there were many) and present everything in great detail. It was a bit of a rough crowd to win over, few people wanted to be there I’m afraid—dealer conferences! I ended up taking nearly everyone out on the demo afternoon where we put people on foils, many for the first time. That got everyone hyped! I received complementary reviews from the higher ups at Starboard and was asked to speak at a larger conference in September, so that’s nice.

Thanks and best,

Kjell

Please come and enjoy delicious home-made sandwiches while you experience the gallery! This unique exhibit features the gorgeous lands, many of which are under stress due to millions of visitors each year.

Please note that 25% of the sale of any of the photographs in this exhibit will be donated to the Stephen E. Fink Memorial Fund to continue the education of physicians, researchers and other medical professionals about the rare blood disease amyloidosis. Every week I will be there selling post cards, greeting cards, magnets, coasters and framed photos… So please come by and say ‘hello’ at 259 Sierra Madre Vila, #102, Pasadena

Big thanks fo Meghan Freeark Fink and the rest of the Fink Family at the PSC for supporting my work!”

Sea of Cortez, Jeanette Paredes (c) 2019

- Jeanette Paredes, “Good Morning Tony: I am writing to see if I can be a part of the SchmoozeFest in September? I have lots of work that I have been preparing for a proposed art show. I am searching for spots to have a ‘pop-up gallery.’ After I graduated from Art Center I did a series of Art Shows all over California, L. A. was my last stop. Out of money and time I put (the idea) on the back burner. Now I want to fire it back up as well as rebuilding a new out look on how to promote myself and my art.

Some of the sailing images from Mexico (3 trips in total so far) have been waiting for me to get out there and promote. I was successful in getting Trader Joe’s to by four images…in their Marina Del Rey store. This has lit a fire to open my business up to hotels and gym, etc…

Also in a slightly heavier note, I am in a rare position in life floating around Los Angeles while camping at the beach out of my car… Though this circumstance has brought me great satisfaction of living light, I am in great need of a creative space. I want to print B&W, digital, paint, dye, stencil and plaster. (Do you know of) any former alums or artists that have space to share or someone looking to rent for temporary status?

Maybe this could be a topic for the class or perhaps you have some ideas that I can start researching.

I am also looking into artist residencies and some more sailing excursion, though I thought hey put (it) out there, something might come back…

Thank you for continuing the emails and up-dates, it really keeps me working.

Thanks so much!!

:::::

(Editor’s note: In a follow-up email Jeanette wrote…)

“Departing for Puerto Vallarta from LAX the words, please no more of the same rang through my head. It was an opportunity to re-think, and re-discover my curiosity, and point of view. I craved for an adventure, an uncomfortable, unknown, sailing adventure.

The reoccurring sway of the sea and the droll drums that lay between the Baja and Mainland Mexico gave me a brilliant display of Mother Nature. I was forced to stay in place and create in new way using the same tool. Allowing myself to create without judgment.

A visual poem of my time in the Sea of Cortez is a playful use of movement, depth and mood. They are images that relate feelings and emotions when struck with the enormousness of the sea.

The work is to be viewed as large format prints. One image the size of a billboard condensed inside a space, pushing the viewer closer. Attempting to re-create the vastness of the sea vs human. Another image will be placed inside a space using height and heat built to arouse our sense’s creating a moment of photo escapism. Currently I am looking for a space that can handle a show with multiple large format prints as well as interactive photo experiences.

Goal date December 12, 2019 at 7pm.

Filled with Gratitude

cheers,

Jeanette

- Alvalyn Lundgren, Creative Director / Visual Evangelist- “Hey, Tony: I hope you’re doing well. I’m excited to share a couple of things with everyone:

1] I’m teaching 2 classes at ArtCenter at Night this fall:

“Crafting Your Creative Brand” starts on Monday evening, September 9, 2019. We take a deep dive into developing one’s personal and professional creative brand based on their core values, creative vision and authentic voice. From there we figure out what audience and how to reach them, develop a set of visual communications touch points, and create a ‘road map’ to follow to put their message and work out into the world. The course is appropriate for recent grads and career-changers, and for someone who’s needs to find their fans and clients. Designers, bloggers, photographers, artisans, fashion brands, content creators, career pivoters, and even real estate developers have gone through the course with good success for themselves on the back end.

- Crafting Your Creative Brand #ACN-469

Mondays, starting September 9, 2019, 7p–10p.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4kfrbiq5nszksuy/Craft-Creative-Brand-FALL19-Promo-Banner-Alvalyn-Lundgren.jpg?dl=0

- “Intro to 3D Design” happens on Wednesday evenings beginning September 11. This is a foundational class exploring core principles of designing in real space. I guide people through the whole design process from premise and purpose to final design. There’s been some amazing work created in this class. It’s a worthy and vital foundation for industrial, product, packaging, and environmental design.

I’m also teaching at Otis College of Art and Design, and UCLA Extension.

2] I just launched my podcast: The Freelance Road Trip Podcast with Alvalyn Lundgren. It’s the intersection of inspired creativity and common business sense.

With a focus on freelance designers, illustrators and photographers, and their creative and client conundrums, my goal is to help them build successful, satisfying creative services businesses, create great work and get to their ‘destination’ smoothly.

“Douglas Stockdale - Photography Books as Art”

Photobooks have become ubiquitous in this digital age with a steady stream of new book titles and many options to self-publish. Nevertheless, a well-designed and thoughtfully conceived photographic book can become an art object and make a tremendous impact on a photographic career. It takes time, creativity, energy, fortitude, patience and guts. A photobook can be a gallery exhibition without walls, extending beyond your local community, engaging your audience for years to come, become an insightful look at your special story, or a unique, stand-alone artist object. Douglas Stockdale will discuss how a photography book can become an artistic object.

HERE ARE THE STORIES FOR THIS MONTH’S BLOG…

*****

- Laura Elliott, Ghostwriter, Travel Writer- “Dear Tony, How are you???? I think of you often. I am learning so many things about being a good businesswoman. I definitely think of you when I negotiate and also when I take on clients. Thanks so much for all of your wisdom over the years.

I was featured in a success series and mentioned you in the article. I wanted to share it with you, because you were such a huge part of helping me get on track professionally and because I hope that you will enjoy the story. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I had my first 5-figure month in May and I know the sky is the limit :) (I also just got engaged too!)

Here is the link to the story: Laura Elliott’s Success Story…-Virtually Untangled, https://virtuallyuntangled.com/laura-elliotts-success-story/

I hope this finds you happy, healthy and having a lot of backyard BBQs!!!!!

:) Laura

:::::

- Editor’s note: The following are excerpts from the opening lines of Laura Elliott’s Success Story presented here to provide inspiration to those yearning to achieve a purpose filled life. You are encouraged to read her entire story by clicking on the Virtually Untangled link, https://virtuallyuntangled.com/laura-elliotts-success-story/

“About seven years ago, several personal tragedies left me unable to write. I had a side-hustle as an author of Young Adult and Middle-Grade fiction novels but lost my heart for intergalactic tales of beauty and the geek; enchanted road trips about awakening to intuition for the first time; and saving the world from a ‘shadow’ apocalypse (oddly autobiographical, who knew). Instead, I spent most days dealing with a world of real-life heartache and problem-solving which found me (among other things) paying rent with my jewelry and sobbing in the sand at my favorite beach asking God to, just, you know … take me away, please. After losing my home and then my health, I made one decision that would change my life forever.

I’d go back to the beginning. For me, this meant signing up for a night class my alma mater, The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, called ‘Finding A Meaningful Career,’ part of a 3-class series intended for art professionals who find themselves at a crossroads mid-career. In the aftermath of having to walk away from a hospitality project management construction corporation I helped to build, my livelihood had also been taken away. I needed to rebuild. I could go back to my multimedia design career, but I had new dreams I needed to find. Ones that would take my writing out of the shadows and place it center stage as my career. But I’ll be honest with you, living by my pen seemed a pipe dream at the time…

…Among the many exercises we did in class, one of the most important found me rolling out a huge sheet of butcher paper and drawing my business timeline over my personal timeline to try to identify patterns in my life. The black-and-white scribbles on that paper showed two powerful patterns -- resilience and creativity. I’d gotten through tragedy before -- including breaking my neck in a car accident. I could get through my current struggles. I had this.…

For the final assignment, I created a Venn diagram to discover my professional and personal sweet spot, where my talents overlapped my passions. Mine revealed -- writing, traveling, spirituality, and helping people.”

-Editor’s note: The Virtually Untangled blog, and Laura, invite you to share your own story of accomplishments in order to give encouragement to those who need to know there is hope…

“If today’s entrepreneurial success story resonated with you … empowered you … and you found it to be exactly the inspiration were looking for, I would be very grateful (and so would the storyteller) if you would help it spread by sharing it on social media or emailing it to a friend. You never know whose life a passionate story, just like this one might change. Would you like the world to hear your story? Want to shout it from the rooftop? Do you want to inspire other women to follow their passion and make their dreams a reality?” Send your story to: va@virtuallyuntangled.com

- Gail Mooney, Filmmaker, Photographer, Visual Assets Producer/Director- “Just got great news. Art Without Limits will be my fiscal sponsor for my newest film....Like A Woman (working title). Some of you have seen some of the profile videos I've created of women who work in male-dominated professions. I'll be shooting a few more profiles and cutting all together in a feature doc. I also hope to have it narrated by a high profile woman who helped pave the way for all women over the years. Anyone with access and intro, please contact me privately gail@kellymooney.com.

It's been too long (7 years) since ‘Opening Our Eyes’ http://openingoureyes.net/ and it's time for this story to be told in long form. The first thing I need to do is create some key art and logo. Thank you Sky Bergman for giving me the nudge when I saw you in California. I needed that!

I have a lot of ‘content’ to pull together - key art, logo and a trailer… If you know of any female artists to recommend for key art - I’m all ears.”

- Percy Carino, Graphic Artist- “I designed the label and also made the liquor. It is a Hawaiian Inspired Pineapple Limoncello. The proverb is Me Ke Aloha Nui which means, with much love. I took the first letters of each word and designed the logo so it still sounds Hawaiian- MKAN. The whole purpose of this was to create a means to exemplify what the Aloha means. Love, support, community, and welcome. It was a labor of love to create both parts but I loved it.”

- Mauren Brodbeck, Swiss multi-sensory artist- “Dear Friends, Dear Collectors, On June 18th, the Centre de la photographie Genève (CPG) inaugurates its major collective exhibition OSMOSCOSMOS on 700 m2 in the BAC as part of the 50JPG 2019 (50 Days for Geneva Photography). I am happy to participate to this great exhibition with one of my piece from my series Friendly Skies.

…It should also be noted that the 50JPG 2019 offer a parallel program, going beyond the purely retinal experience to also appeal to touch, taste and hearing, with several evenings offered at the BAC and at our partners throughout the summer. Details are on the website 50jpg. http://www.50jpg.ch/en/ “

SchmoozeFest! May 3-20-2019-

Our previous SchmoozeFest was held at the Art Center at Night/Public Programs building, 950 South Raymond Ave., Pasadena, California. As always it was turned out to be another inspiring and entertaining event as attendees had a chance to show their work and exchange ideas. In case you missed it our next SchmoozeFest is scheduled for Thursday, September 12 in the same building and we hope you will attend. Remember to bring examples of your favorite projects, and share the evening with other enthusiastic creative individuals. Oh, and don’t forget to bring business cards and self-promos so you can make useful connections.

…NOW, HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES…

- Parisa Ashrafi- Graphic Artist living in Iran. “Dear Tony, It’s Parisa and I’m still in Iran!!

I’m not sure how many years it has been since we wrote or talked. I’m sorry about that. I guess I let myself drown in the challenges here. I think ‘better late than never’

How are you guys doing?… I still get the emails from your class and I think they’re wonderful. I wish I could join in.

If I wanted to fill you in on the past seven years, it would fill volumes... I’ll just say it has been very tough and challenging and I’m not sure how or when it will end. In the meantime, I’m looking to help myself by possibly doing something creative again!! More like art therapy on my own. I think I’m suffering from complex PTSD!! Feel kind of stuck!

I’d like to hear about what’s going on with you guys…

I also wonder if you know anyone who can be my long distance art therapy buddy or coach!? Anywhere in the world will do and if necessary I think doing a project about the ongoing traumas might help me heal and let them go!? I can’t really talk about it in detail though....!

After all the hard work and the expense of my Art Center degree and brief design and teaching career, I have become a warrior, fighting for our patrimony in Iran!! It seems I have nothing to go back to even if I could quit! :( “

My WhatsApp no is +98 912 813 4071

I look forward to talking with you soon

All the very best,

Parisa

EGYPTIAN DEITIES & POP CULTURE ICONS

RACHEL GANZ

June 1- June 15, 2019

VIP PREVIEW Saturday, June 1st., 7-11 PM

AC GALLERY

1546 North Highland Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90028

RSVP: gallery@artistscorner.us

Legends of the past re-emerge to define the lasting power that is contained within their feminine beauty.

AC Gallery presents Egyptian Deities & Pop Culture Icons, a solo exhibition by artist Rachel Ganz and fundraising event benefiting City of Hope, a premier cancer research foundation.

Rachel Ganz has been painting, drawing, and creative artwork since the age of four. Ganz was inspired by her love of Pop Culture and Ancient Egypt including her most recent exposure to the magnificent King Tut exhibit at the California Science Center this past year. Expressionistic paintings characteristic of Rachel Ganz’s oeuvre, including the artist’s bold use of bright colors, striking design, thick paint, and high glosses bring the characters to life with their soulful eyes and charming faces will illuminate the White Cube exhibition space inside AC Gallery. Ganz will debut her latest paintings including ‘Betty Boop’ - a starlet of Pop Culture and more than 1930s Jazz Age flapper with her big-lashed flirty eyes and petite body responsible for showcasing a very savvy, sophisticated, and confident woman in animated form as well as the monumental 60 x 30 inch mixed media Nefertiti Holding Hand of Goddess Isis - a painting that glorifies the Ancient Egyptian deities Queen Nefertiti and goddess Isis, recognizing the religious revolution they helped construct in Ancient Egypt.

Global icons that have characterized feminine beauty and power - Nefertiti, Betty Boop, and others - will come together and draw the viewer’s gaze into their eyes, allowing the feel, magic, and mystery of the past Ancient Egyptian to more current Pop Culture eras to emerge.

Exhibition "Arbres et Forêts", Galerie du Boléro, Versoix, Switzerland

Opening reception Saturday May 25th, from 5 to 8 pm

Exhibition from Saturday May 25th until Sunday August 18th, 2019

Dear friends, dear collectors, “I am pleased to invite you to this collective exhibition in which the Auer Ory Foundation for Photography will present one of my pieces ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS YOU, AND YOU TOOK ME WHERE IT WAS TRUE a diptych alongside superb originals of Ansel Adams, Eugène Atget, Brassaï, Andre Kertesz, Aaron Siskind, Josef Sudek ...

Trees and forests have long fascinated photographers. This exhibition presents multiple historical, classical, modern and contemporary approaches. Six ensembles are presented at the Galerie du Boléro, including a photographic suite on the Versoix woods: Philippe Ayral, Jean Bernard, Nicolas Crispini, Cyril Girardet, Jean-Pierre Sudre and the treasures of the Auer Ory Foundation for Photography, Hermance.

In the Bolero Hall, you can discover the Japanese forest of THE SWISS NATIONAL ARBORETUM of Vallon de l'Aubonne which was created in 1979 by Sylvain Meier. This exceptional ensemble has since developed thanks to the many contacts the creator has had with Japanese specialists and institutions.

Free admission from Tuesday to Sunday from 3 to 6 pm

I wanted to let you and the community know that I have a solo art show on display at Frogtown Brewery from May 17- June 14th.

The opening reception will be Saturday, May 17th. Thanks so much for this wonderful opportunity to connect and share with my fellow Crafting A Meaningful Career alumni.

Best,”

- Jen Julian, Partner and Producer at June Bug Productions- “Mr. Luna! How the heck are you? I wanted to quickly reach out and see if you would spread the word about mine and Holly’s new endeavor as I think it could be of real benefit to folks. Especially, once they’ve taken your courses, they need to keep skills sharp! Here’s a little info from an email I sent out earlier today”:

Hi All! My producing partner, Holly Payberg and I have been thinking about the art of pitching. What a bane of existence it is for so many and how it’s often such a stumbling block for our fellow creatives. We know from our own experience how much our confidence level and careers changed once we finally stopped avoiding it and focused on mastering it, so we came up with the idea to help others do the same by creating “The Pitch Gym” and wanted to share with you.

The Pitch Gym is a safe, but intentional, monthly workout space where people can come to finally master those essential two minute and 30 second pitches. In true gym fashion, it’s a place where you can come back as often as you like to get in shape for any new projects you have, or simply pop in to practice and get your confidence up before a big meeting.

As coaches, Holly and I deliver a one/two punch, focusing on the content of the pitch as well as the delivery. In addition to being writer/producers ourselves, Holly comes from a background in development (Dir. of Development for Signature Pictures) and I have extensive experience in live performance as the unprecedented female lead for two of Eric Idle’s stage tours. Basically, we’ve learned how to craft a killer pitch and shine in delivering it (as evidenced by our latest claim to fame as two-time Pitch Conference champs at the American Film Market.)

In April, we will be doing a two part series for women in film on pitching (themselves first then project pitches), as well as leading a pitch workshop (also for women in film) for their finance intensive program to help people pitch their projects specifically to investors for financing.

To be included in our mailing list for future workouts (don’t worry, we have no desire to spam anyone) please send us a quick response back and we’ll add you. And, if you know anyone else you think could benefit, please feel free to forward it on to them.

We truly do not want pitching to be a hindrance to anyone wanting to get their ideas out there. It doesn’t have to be!!!

See you at the gym!” ;)

Tired of stumbling through answers to questions like: What do you do? What's your project about?

Wanna be able to deliver a knock-out pitch you actually enjoy sharing? Then get your butts to Jen & Holly's Pitch Gym, where you can expect:

• Crafting - A safe space to craft and hone the delivery of both a 30 sec and 2 min pitch.

• Coaching - Real-time coaching and support from two-time American Film Market pitch conference contest champs.

• Confidence - Delivery techniques to make you a bad ass at pitching anywhere, anytime.

- Mauren Brodbeck, is “…a Swiss multi sensory artist and singer-songwriter, (who) uses visual and auditory elements to create startling reinterpretations of common objects and experiences.”

Podcast Launch!

“Dear Friends, To celebrate International Women's Day, I am very pleased to announce that today I am launching «ON DISPLAY», my new monthly podcast dedicated to a deeper exploration of the challenges faced by women artists while living their creative life.

«ON DISPLAY» features conversations with present-day women artists, focusing on how they maintain their artistic practices and creativity while also coping with the expectations of society, their families, workplaces, and the rest of the creative community. «ON DISPLAY» is devoted to discussing how identity, creative energy, and outside demands intersect and interplay in an artist’s quest to live a creative life.

“Through this podcast, I want to inspire and empower women who aspire to live a creative life by opening up a really honest conversation about the true nature of our creative force, our role as women in society, and our challenges, fears, successes and failures. The podcast is about our inspiration, our commitment, our learnings, sincerity, and openness.”

Screen Shot 2019-03-29 at 4.48.47 PM.png

«ON DISPLAY» is part of a larger art project, that I called «RAW AND RADICAL», and launched late last year for the purpose of promoting women artists and exploring the same themes of identity, inspiration, and artistic empowerment. «RAW AND RADICAL» incorporates a second podcast, «PRIVATE VIEW,» in which I intimately explore my personal experiences and challenges as a female artist, and an online community where podcast guests and listeners can connect, support one another, and share ideas and experiences.

My first guests are the wonderful Delphine Diallo and Eva Armisén.

To keep up to date with the latest news, please subscribe to the newsletter on the website : www.rawradical.com

To support the project, you can share the links below, buy one of the t-shirts in the shop or make a donation.”

AND NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES…

SchmoozeFest photos:

The first SchmoozeFest for 2019 was held on Thursday, January 10. Below are some random shots of our “SchmoozeFesters” as they enjoyed the evening exchanging ideas and inspiring each other. The next SchmoozeFest is scheduled for Thursday, May 9.

Thanks to all who attended! See you May 9.

- Gail Mooney, Photographer, Documentary Filmmaker- (From a recent Facebook (c) posting:)- “I recently had a ‘Searching for Sugarman’ moment and I just learned that this photo of mine has been in the Corcoran collection for 30 years. I had no idea. That's not to say it has been displayed - but I don't know. It is part of the collection, National Geographic's The Art of Photography. Funny how the universe gives you a jolt every now and then. By the way, for those of you who have not seen the movie ‘Searching for Sugarman’ - a must see.”… #photoarchivegailmooney #photoarchivemontreal #corcorangallery #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #natgeotraveler #natgeotravel

About the Corcoran (reprinted from the Corcoran Gallery of Art web site): The Corcoran Gallery of art was one of the first private museums in the United States established in 1869 by Willian Wilson Corcoran and expanded in 1880 to include the Corcoran College of Art and Design with the mission “dedicated to art and used solely for the purpose of encouraging the American genius.” For the next 145 years, the Corcoran played an instrumental role among American museums and art schools. The museum presented, interpreted and preserved the art of current and past times; its college of art nurtured and helped shape new generations of artists and designers. Education was a central focus, not just in the Corcoran’s classrooms but in its galleries and throughout the greater Washington region. Though American art was the collection’s emphasis, the art of other nations and cultures is, when appropriate, was acquired and exhibited.

- Pete van Law, Producer, Documentary Filmmaker-

- In Case you missed any of my last three posts here they are:

The current one is "Diary of a Department Store" Hope you enjoy it.

Diary of a Department Store: The Nachmann-Joseph-David Connection- “For those of you who are new to my Blog, most of my stories are based on the research i originally did for my film, ‘For the Life of Me’, or new information that resulted from it. But now much of it comes from the posts on my Blog. Most recently they’ve been about my Mother’s side of the family. Her maiden name was Rehfisch.

Ever since I found myself involved in researching my family’s history I’ve been amazed at how fascinating and rewarding an experience it’s been. Finding a new connection is like a drug induced high; that sudden rush when a breakthrough happens and brings to life an otherwise faceless name. It’s the realization that there’s a real person in there, with an identity, a place in the real world and a potential story to tell…”

It's not too late to donate to our Fund Raising campaign and help us send copies of "For the Life of Me" to schools and religious institutions of your choice. https://www.documentary.org/project/life-me

Editor’s Note:

The following are two not-to-be-missed photo gallery offerings in the Los Angeles area.

First is the inspiring show of the early work of renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. You may also hear a podcast interview she had with John Horn on his NPR/KPCC radio program “The Frame” for February 20, 2019. The interview reinforces the concepts that everyone has to start somewhere, and opportunities become available when you have prepared to take advantage of them, and you make yourself available.

The second offering is a compelling show at the Forest Lawn, Glendale, Museum titled “Women of Vision” featuring the amazing work of 11 award-winning female photojournalists from National Geographic. The range of the work will captivate and move you to appreciate the points of view of these immensely talented artists.

Annie Leibovitz

The Early Years, 1970 – 1983: Archive Project No. 1 (From the Hauser and Wirth web site):

About:

“Beginning 14 February, Hauser & Wirth presents ‘Annie Leibovitz. The Early Years, 1970 – 1983: Archive Project No. 1,’ a new installation of the 2017 exhibition of the same title presented by the LUMA Foundation’s Parc des Ateliers in Arles, France. As the first comprehensive exhibition in Los Angeles devoted to the earliest work of this renowned American artist, ‘The Early Years’ features more than 4,000 photographs taken between 1970 and 1983.

Works on view trace Leibovitz’s development as a young talent, capturing the dramatic cultural and political shifts of the Seventies. Arranged chronologically and thematically, the exhibition begins with her work for Rolling Stone magazine and visually chronicles the defining moments and key protagonists of the decade. Over the course of her career, Leibovitz became an avatar of the changing cultural role of photography as an artistic medium. Pinned to walls gridded with string, the images on view reveal her singular ability to merge the tactics of portraiture and photojournalism with profound humanism and sly wit. The exhibition also includes Leibovitz’s photographs of artists who became her personal heroes – Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, Ansel Adams, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, among others.”

The show ends April 14

- Women of Vision (From the Forest Lawn Museum web site):

December 11, 2018 – April 7, 2019

The exhibition highlights the influential work of 11 award-winning female photojournalists from National Geographic. Women of Vision is a tribute to the spirit and ambition of these forward-thinking and distinguished female photographers and underscores the momentous work they have done to bring narratives from all over the world to the pages of National Geographic and into the homes of millions of people.

Featuring nearly 100 photographs, Women of Vision includes moving depictions of far-flung cultures; compelling illustrations of conceptual topics, such as memory and teenage brain chemistry; and arresting images of social issues, such as child marriage and twenty-first-century slavery. In addition, the exhibition demonstrates how National Geographic magazine picture editors work closely with the photographers to select images and tell stories. Video vignettes present first-person accounts that reveal the photographers’ individual styles, passions, and approaches to their craft.

Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers on Assignment will be open to the public from December 11, 2018 through April 7, 2019 at the Forest Lawn Museum, Forest Lawn-Glendale, 1712 S. Glendale Avenue, Glendale, California.

The win at this point in my career is I am doing the same job Edith did, in the same building. How great is that? I get to “work” in her shade!!!

Happy New Year, my friend. I hope 2019 includes a visit with you!

From the advertising material, featuring an industrial/firefighting helicopter pilot, announcing Gail Mooney’s lecture

- Gail Mooney, Photographer, Documentary Filmmaker- (From the press release announcing Gail’s lecture on publishing a book, having a photography exhibit, or making of a video series:)

Gail delivered this lecture on Wednesday, January 16 at the B&H Event Space, B&H NYC SuperStore, New York City

(Editor’s note: Below is from the announcement of the event.)

An inspirational look behind the making of a video series.

Do you have an idea? Perhaps you want to publish your book, or have a photography exhibit, or even make a film?

Gail Mooney has done all three, and her presentation may help you turn your idea into a reality! She will take you behind the scenes of her current personal project, entitled Like A Woman. It’s a video series about women who are working in traditionally male-dominated professions. It’s a subject she is familiar with, after spending a lifetime as a female photographer and later filmmaker in a predominately male environment.

To date, she has created ten videos for this series, which include subjects such as a female race car driver, an industrial/firefighting helicopter pilot, an auto mechanic and a blimp pilot for Goodyear to name a few.

Gail’s Goal: Create videos that shine a light on the accomplishments of these women in addition to the challenges they faced as they bucked the odds and followed their passions. Her intent is to change the consciousness of our culture and to inspire, empower and motivate other women to pursue their dreams.

- Michael Stern, Photographer, Filmmaker- ““I was hired to document the process of rebuilding one of a 100 Faux Bois trees at the Huntington Library. It was supposed to be a scholarly reference document only. Very dry. Somehow we agreed on a 3 minute time-lapse of the process. (my usual schtick). Second day of filming the director came out to give us a best wishes and to make sure I was going to do video of the actual sculpting process so people could see how painstaking the process is. So much for the 3 minute time-lapse! The whole project got turned on its’ head at that moment.

Long story short, we ended up doing a short, arty documentary with sound, time-lapse and live action video. The 6 week shoot extended to 7 months and a 4 week edit went to 11 months. (off and on of course) I’m thankful the budget grew accordingly.

See you soon!”

- Regarding artist and Art Center faculty member-

-Sent on behalf of students in our Graduate Art program-

“One of our longest standing faculty members, Lita Albuquerque, has lost her entire studio and home to the Woolsey fire. She is an integral part of the art community here in Los Angeles and worldwide and has been showing internationally since the 1970’s.

Her children have set up a Go Fund Me to aid in the recovery of her studio. Many have asked how you can help and this is how.

Please spread the news and donate if you can to help her replace some of the things that were lost in the fire.

Thank you!”

- Stephanie Zhong, Founder + Creative Director, Dear Anne Media- “It’s been a week since the 20th anniversary celebration of the paper clips project in Tennessee, and I’m still hunting for the words to express the overflow of love and hope I felt there. The Whitwell community was so welcoming. Everyone was trusting enough to get vulnerable, emotional, open in a short time. Or maybe they were beyond excited to talk about the ripple effects and miracles that came from learning about and meeting people seemingly different from them. I was blown away by the opportunities and relationships that came from this one project. My heart grew three sizes – so moved by everyone I met. Their stories were more remarkable than I imagined.

Meanwhile, fires started blazing back home. On the return flight home, I didn’t know if the Woolsey fire would reach my house. Jim had texted me the night before asking what I wanted him to pack in the ‘just in case’ evacuation bag (besides my wedding dress and Dodgerina, our turtle). I pictured our house (which is finally getting remodeled) burnt to the ground. For an instant, I felt a twinge of fear and devastation. But after standing inside a rail car that went from a symbol of death and hate into a permanent place of love, I felt a greater sense of peace knowing whatever were to happen, everything will be okay.”

p.s. You can watch the original Paper Clips documentary on Amazon Prime, Google Play, YouTube, and iTunes. If you live in L.A., I'm planning a potluck movie screening at my house in January.

p.p.s. Can't wait for you to hear the first episode of this podcast. We're a few hundred dollars away from reaching the first goal to get it made. Share or give if you feel called to: http://www.onlevelground.org/onesmallthing/

- Steve McCurry, Renowned Photojournalist-

Steve McCurry has been one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography for more than thirty years, with scores of magazine and book covers, over a dozen books, and countless exhibitions around the world to his name. To read more about Steve go to

https://www.stevemccurry.com/blog and http://www.stevemccurry.com/bio

New Book: “Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures, by Bonnie McCurry” The selection of photographs includes Steve's best-known shots and more than 100 previously unpublished images. Also included are personal notes, telegrams and visual ephemera from his travels and assignments, all accompanied by his sister’s text, personal recollections and family stories.

“Most of my pictures are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape that I guess you’d call the human condition.” - Steve McCurry

- Vahe Ala, Founder of FalconForce.com, Photographer- (Editor’s note: The following is an email sent in response to Vahe to find out what he has been doing since taking our Crafting a Meaningful Career class)…

“Hi Tony, …Pleasure hearing from you, Please feel free to tell my story. I have since moved to WY and been here for the last 3 years. It was my largest dream to execute, a decision I made in the summer of 1993, freshly out of high school when my brother and I went on a 41 day road trip to see 14 states. I bought an 80 acre ranch, with a 2,500 sf house built in 2011. I own some sheep and goats, chickens, and I built a 2,700sf barn for breeding falcons.

What can I say, life is beautiful…

Please keep in touch”

(Editor’s note: And in a follow-up email…) “Let me also say that in 2010 I started Falcon Force Inc. as a one man show, and as of this date we have 23 falconers working with us and we are spread between 8 states.

The goals are set high and dreams are murdered on daily bases. ‘Ambition is when you lean your ladder against the clouds and climb like it's no ones business.’

We are currently turning down work due to being selective and only taking on higher prestige clients, and the lack of professional help (falconers).

A few of our appearances;

National Geographic (Documentary Film); ‘Somebody’s Gotta Do It’ (Mike Rowe, Full segment); Storage Wars (Appraiser Guest); Los Angeles Times (Sunday Times Cover); Seattle Times (Sunday Times Cover); New York Times; ABC 7, Los Angeles, CA; Obscura Society LA, Los Angeles, CA; Seventeen Magazine; Speak Up magazine; Pacific Radio Network;

Thank you Tony for shining light on my passion

Regards,”

- Erv Nichols, Naturalist, Photographer, and Entrepreneur (Friend of CMC)- “Well today was the big race. I was pleased to win the silver medal for over 70 age group, and 4th for the 15 in the 60 and older. Would have won another medal for oldest entrant were it not for my friend John Bertrand in the 1 mile walk. (John's 93). Feeling great except for a few aches and pains. No marathons scheduled for the near future.

The sponsor was Presbyterian Hospital of Socorro, New Mexico. Event was a 5 k run, 1 mile walk. About 70 entries. Most around the campus of New Mexico tech.”

- Leslie Kim, Graphic Artist, Fine Artist- “…I’ve been working pretty solidly as a freelance food package designer for Jo's Candies. They also have a lot of private label customers that need package design, so that means many new packages every year.

I've also been working on improving my rock climbing t-shirt business Dynamite Starfish http://www.godynamitestarfish.com. This year was a big one for exposure. A group called Brown Girls Climb (advocates of diversity in the outdoor industry) used my products in a photoshoot for Elevation Outdoors magazine, so my shirts were displayed on the cover and in a pretty hefty inside spread too. I was a vendor a women's climbing festival in Los Angeles and met some great ladies there. A few more vendor events at gyms coming up too.

On the art side of things, I'll be having some art up for the month of February at Art Share LA's Perimeter Gallery. Mostly paintings, some prints, and a hanging sculpture.. basically I get 6' space to hang up whatever I want. I got rejected from a show in the main gallery, but this opportunity presented itself out of that submission, so I'm really excited about it! I'll also be vending at the DTLA Maker Faire on 12/1/18.

Things are great. It's a lot of hard work and ‘hustling’ for lack of a better word, but it's kind of the only way I can operate. I think of your class often and recommend it to so many friends who are looking to find more fulfilling career paths.”

- Jessica Truelyt, Artist, Ceramicist- ‘Hello ladies and Tony, It is hard to believe that it has been a year since we gathered weekly to explore what brings meaning and fulfillment to our creative lives. I think back to our class often with deep gratitude for the variety of perspectives and the vulnerability shared.

I wanted to let you all know that, with the encouragement and clarity gained from class, I’ve been pursuing my ceramic work more and displayed my work as part of the Hwy 62 Art Tours in Joshua Tree this month. There have been a few professional opportunities that I’ve considered and ultimately declined because I knew it would take me away from my creative production time. It’s a scary thing to say no to more money to pursue a passion, but I’m peaceful in the journey and excited to see where the path leads.

You each were inspiring to me in your own ways. I hope you each are well and finding creative fulfillment in whatever way is possible for you this season wherever you are in the world.

All best autumnal wishes,

Jessica

The Hwy 62 Open Studio Art Tours, http://www.hwy62arttours.org now in its 17th year, is a one-of-a-kind experience for art lovers and art buyers to create a customized self-guided tour of the 90 plus open studios in the Morongo Basin and to speak directly with the artists about their work and creative endeavors in the intimacy of their private work spaces.

- Tony Luna

Thanks to co-directors Bill Wishner and Doug Hill of PasadenaPhotographyArts for the unique opportunity to speak to your enthusiastic and talented group of photographic artists on Thursday, October 11 at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena. It was an honor to deliver my presentation, “Finding Your Creative Voice: Everyone Has to Start Somewhere” to your august group, and I look forward to announcing your future events which promote the outstanding work of photographers in the greater Northeast area of Los Angeles.

- From Marina Diaz, Artist- “Hi Tony, I'm in this art show. I hope all is well!

EXCITING ART NEWS.

https://awbw.org/exhibits/heart-awards-2018/

Local Pasadena artist Marina Diaz is in “A Window Between Worlds" art auction Sunday, September 30th. Bidding is not available until Sept. 23 rd. “A Window Between Worlds” art auction promotes works with families impacted by domestic violence and offers healing through art. Art heals the soul, offers love, introspection and offers a new way to look at life.

To help support “A Window Between Worlds” cause, artists have lowered their prices considerably for starting bidding. It is a great opportunity to purchase amazing and thoughtful artwork.”

About this Exhibition: “A Window Between Worlds’ is proud to present an exhibition of artwork, curated by MaryLinda Moss, to be auctioned to patrons and guests at our 2018 heART Awards brunch on September 30th.

About “A Window Between Worlds”: “A Window Between Worlds” collaborates with human service agencies across the country, training and supporting the staff at these partner organizations in facilitating our healing arts curriculum. These workshops provide a unique “Window of Time” for participants — a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can authentically express themselves in new ways.

There are multiple benefits to creating art in this type of environment, including improved communication and a renewed sense of possibility. As survivors of trauma make art — by drawing, sculpting, painting, collaging, writing and more — their voices are heard and future potential is seen, often for the first time. This supports individuals, families and communities in processing their experiences and moving forward to less burdened and more productive living. Since our founding in 1991, “A Window Between Worlds” arts programming has provided the creation of art as a tool for empowerment and healing to over two-hundred thousand adults and children who have experienced violence and trauma.

- Stephanie Zhong, Founder + Creative Director, Dear Anne Media- “Hi Tony! What's new with you, Tony? I have some news I'd like to share with you and other creatives. Since the class, I've been experimenting with different ways to bring storytelling is as my career. One concrete project has come out I'd like to tell you about.

I'm developing an idea for an audio documentary (podcast) about a group a students from rural Tennessee who "accidentally" sparked a wave of empathy and interfaith connections around the world that's lasted 20 years – and is still going. Some people call it a miracle.

I've been funding it myself to this point (to make an audio trailer you can now hear). Now I'm launching a funding campaign to get to Whitwell, Tennessee to capture the 20th anniversary of this project.

If it inspires you, will you consider sharing with friends or becoming one of my patrons? No gift is too large or small and comes with perks.

The trailer and donor page is here: http://www.onlevelground.org/onesmallthing/.

Please check it out, share it widely with your friends, colleagues, social media, anyone you know who would like the opportunity to bring stories of humanity at its best into the world with me. We need them more than ever.”

Thursday, October 11

Brief Description of the lecture:

The most challenging question people ask who aspire to become professional photographers is “How do I find my own unique voice?”

If you ever questioned what it takes to become a successful photographer/artist this informative and inspirational lecture is for you.

- Lee White, Assistant Professor, Photography, College of the Canyons- “Tony, If you feel it is appropriate, would you include a note in your Creative Update about the College of the Canyons’ Photo 280 Large Format and Zone System class – large format (4x5) B&W, perspective controls, pre-visualization which will give access to the COC Black and White darkroom for the semester so some of the photographers might be interested in that class.”

(And, in a follow-up email…)

The class starts August 30, so I’m late in getting this to you. Registration is at http://www.canyons.edu/Offices/admissions/Pages/ClassSchedule.aspx. It is a 3 unit class so $138 for the class, $31 for student fees and $25 for parking. Class is Monday and Wednesday from 1:05 PM to 3:25 PM. I don’t have any student images for this class. Questions contact me lee.white@canyons.edu. As I said, this is an opportunity to learn to use large format equipment from COC and the school’s darkroom for developing and printing plus the Zone system.

Thanks for doing this.”

Jen Julian announcing the launch of June Bug Pictures...

- Jen Julian, Principal, June Bug Pictures- “Hi Tony, Great photos!! So here’s a bit about June Bug:

June Bug Pictures is a boutique production company focused on developing inspired, thought-provoking, primarily female-driven content for film, television and the digital space.
Our mission is to create content with the power to shift perspectives, spark imagination, shine a light on forgotten heroes and often cause us to laugh at our shared humanity.
Like June bugs, we are curious creatures, with a bold sense of exploration and a fascination with what lives inside our universe.
We are persistent little suckers, deeply inquisitive and just a little bit lovingly in your face, especially when we have a project we really believe in or something we need to find answers to.
We are creative shepherds. Dream catalysts. People artists. We love what we do and who we do it with. Above all, we play well with others…”

HERE ARE THE HEADLINES WHICH ARE FOLLOWED BY THE COMPLETE STORIES…

*****

- Agnes Carrera is requesting our responses to gauge interest the new “Career Management and Matching platform that helps find Meaningful Work” she created. She asks us to click on her inventive Heart@Work link, https://www.heartatworkbeta.com
check it out, and then respond on whether you would 1.) use the product, if so hit “try beta”; 2.) why would you use it?; 3.) how much would you pay for it?; and 4.) any additional feedback. Agnes presented her Heart@Work project at our last SchmoozeFest and it is based upon matching a company’s values with a potential employee’s values. A great way to find a perfect fit for a company! Your responses will help her as she presents her product to potential funders. Please reply to her request and help her further her success…

- Art in L A - Affair, a celebration of the arts in Hollywood, will be held August 17-19 near the historic Hollywood center of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. The event will feature “contemporary fine art in all media including painting, sculpture, photography with edition art prints and merchandise also available to the public.” Come join in the fun and experience some remarkable art…

- Cristina Benedetti cordially invites us to Anthony Thomas’ “RISE of the NATION” at the EL PORTAL Theatre, North Hollywood- August 22-23. Our Cristina was the assistant director and choreographed a piece and dance as well. We encourage all to come out for an evening of spirited dance and music…

- Bill Wishner will be conducting a book signing and lecture at Vroman's Book Store in Pasadena, Saturday, August 25 at 2:00 PM. He will be signing his new book, "Artifacts" (Acuity Press 2018)...first publication from Art of the City Wall 2011-2017 and delivering a talk titled, “My Life as a Visual Hunter.” His work will be on exhibition from August 20 to October 1. Come out to support a great member of our creative community and be inspired by his work…

- Carmel O’Mara-Horwitz informs us that on September 1, a show she has been working on for the past two years of the work by Faiya Fredman, will be opening at the Oceanside Museum of Art. In addition to learning a great deal through this opportunity she has also had the opportunity to create products that will be on sale at the gift store such as a coloring book, scarves (pictured herein), handbags, tote bags, and jewelry, as well as greeting cards and postcards. “This brings all my past work to the job. It is nice to help others make a product for the first time.” Not only that but she has “…been making lesson plans for the museum to offer school classes that visit in the fall. We also plan some activities for anyone who visits the museum meaning adults and families.” This a testament to Carmel’s many talents. Great work Carmel!…

- Jen Julian updates her on her tremendous progress for June Bug Pictures, her new production company which we announced last December, 2017, dedicated to honoring heroic women. June Bug Pictures has secured their first investor, officially formed their LLC, and are looking for “a seasoned line producer to put together a real budget and boards for our female fighter pilot action project which we will be taking to studios in the fall.” In addition they are “…doing well with pitch coaching workshops to help creatives and entrepreneurs develop their ideas and deliver knock out pitches!” You are invited to listen to a podcast that was done for Pilar Alesandra’s program “On The Page” for an informative and entertaining story of what it takes to make your dreams come true…

- Michael Salvatore Tierney. If you have been wondering what Michael Salvatore Tierney has been doing the past year and half, as I have, you can read about his incredible work renovating a 1961 homestead house on five acres in Joshua Tree, California. He has done all the work himself and “enjoying the process.” He has met like-minded creatives who have similarly moved to the remote area from New York, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area. Go to the blog to see some pictures of his amazing craftsmanship. I know he would love to hear from you…

- Andrea McCarthy has again generously shared a list of job opportunities in the arts at institutions of higher learning. Listed in the blog is a very small sample of the opportunities. More jobs are listed on the web site for Academic Keys, Inc. Thank you Andrea for making these notifications possible…

- Carmel O’Mara-Horwitz, Children's Book Illustrator, Artist-

“Hi Tony. So I am happy to share with you the project I have been working on there last two years. I have been helping Faiya Fredman put together her show at the Oceanside Museum of Art. The show will be opening on September 1st.!
http://www.oma-online.org/fredman/
http://www. oma-online.org/exhibitions-oma/

This has been a great opportunity and I have been learning a lot! There are a few of us working as a team. We have worked with shipyards to get sculptures made… Finding printers and framers has been a good education. Faiya wanted to make some of her work into lenticulars and so I have been paid to learn how to make them with her. It is not my art but that has helped me see what it takes to get work ready for a show. For example, letting the curators pick the images without interference… since they see what you don’t.

With the team, I have also been creating products to sell in the gift store. We now have a coloring book. I translated her artwork into line art for people to color. Scarves, handbags, tote, bags, and jewelry, as well as greeting cards and postcards. This brings all my past work to the job. It is nice to help others make a product for the first time.

Last I have been making lesson plans for the museum to offer school classes that visit in the fall. We also plan some activities for anyone who visits the museum meaning adults and families.

Anyway, I am grateful for your class; it helped me look out of the box and recognize work.

Best wishes,

Carmel

- Michael Salvatore Tierney, Photographer- “A quick update on what I’ve been doing. I’ve moved out to Joshua Tree where I bought a house (1961 homestead) up by the boulders where all the lots are 5 acres. It’s been a year and a half and I’ve been doing nonstop renovations and rebuilding, doing all the work myself. I’ve really been enjoying the process and have met a great number of like minded fellow artists and creative types out there, many of whom are from New York, LA, or the Bay Area.

It would be great to catch up at Jones one of these weeks! I’ll attach a pic of some of my design and woodwork projects.

Talk Soon
Michael

Tony Luna Creative- Update- 6-30-2018

June 30, 2018/ Tony Luna

HERE ARE THE HEADLINES WHICH ARE FOLLOWED BY THE COMPLETE STORIES…

- Angel Mendoza showed his vibrant artwork based on Meso-american mythology at the AC Gallery in Hollywood on June 2. This is the beginning of more expositions by this truly original artist and we look forward to more opportunities for the public to appreciate his work. Well done Angel!…

- Brian Pescador allows us an opportunity to try to understand how photography saved him to reclaim his life after years of mental illness. He provides us with a link to a candid article he wrote on his struggles in the hopes of helping others who suffer from depression. This is a must read especially in light of the recent tragic deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, and the challenges of everyday life in today’s complicated world. We are extremely grateful for Brian’s courage in sharing his story and encourage all to seek the help they need and to look to the value of art for a fresh look at the world.

- The next OPEN SHOW/Pasadena and East LA is to be presented at The Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, Thursday, July 12. The deadline for submission of photography artwork is Tuesday, July 3, and is open to all photographers on any topic. The purpose of the show is to “strengthen our photography community and bring together the public and artistic community in discussion of photography.” There is no theme and you are invited to show your best project. Good luck!…

- AC Gallery, Hollywood, California is “currently accepting artists working in all media for ART in LA for LA afFAIR 2018 - the inaugural boutique art fair presented by AC Gallery from Friday, August 17th to Sunday, August 19th, 2018.
ART in LA afFAIR will showcase independent, emerging artists presenting solo projects and works with an emphasis on contemporary fine art in all media including painting, sculpture, photography with edition prints and unique merchandise also available to the public. A maximum of 30 artists will be accepted on a rolling basis to exhibit during the art fain at AC Gallery LA.”…

- Andrea McCarthy, from AcademicKeys, has again generously shared a list of job opportunities in the arts at institutions of higher learning around the world. Listed in this blog is a small sample of the opportunities. More jobs are listed on the web site for Academic Keys, Inc. Take a look. Who knows, the right job may be listed there for you. Thank you Andrea for making these notifications possible…

… AND NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES:

- Angel Mendoza, Artist- Re: Angel’s show of his work at AC Gallery in Hollywood, California. All photos by Dale Steven Benson…

Angel Mendoza with his artful application on his one-of-a-kind surfboard.

On the evening of June 2 the work of long time supporter of Crafting a Meaningful Career, artist Angel Mendoza, showed his work in a collaborative art event at the AC Gallery. It was great seeing the response of the attendees to his work which focuses on his blending of Meso-american mythology with influences from graffiti composed while using contemporary graphic technology. His vibrant work brings ancient Olmec, Maya, and Aztec narratives to light in a way that simultaneously delights and informs leaving the viewer wanting more from this truly unique artist.

(Editor’s note: I urge all to click on the link provided which will take you to the insightful and candid c-heads.com web site article written by Brian Pescador about how photography helped him get his life back after years of mental illness. Thank you Brian for generously allowing us to reposition the article in the hopes of helping others who are challenged and in need of hope.)

- Brian Pescador, Photographer-

“Hey Tony, I hope you are well. I just wanted to share this with you. I was interviewed this week by this fashion magazine and it just came out this morning. I am so proud of it and wanted to share it with you. If you could share on your blog that would be awesome. I hope what I wrote about could help others.

Thanks for your time & all the years of friendship and wisdom.

(And in a follow-up email…)

“Tony, …Thanks so much again Tony for reading my new interview. Please share it with anyone, who you think might be a little down. I really hope it could give other people a better idea as to what is going on now in the world.
From the time I finished this interview last week the world tragically lost Kate Spade & Anthony Bourdain. So many people can’t understand why they did it. People are saying they were so successful and they had it all. I hope after reading what I wrote they might get a new perspective.
Thanks again and talk soon Tony
-Brian”

Tony Luna Creative- Update- 5/31/2018

May 31, 2018/ Tony Luna

HERE ARE THE HEADLINES WHICH ARE FOLLOWED BY THE COMPLETE STORIES…

- Our SchmoozeFest! on May 10 was an exciting evening with a small group of high-powered creatives presenting their innovative ideas and exchanging information (ie: “schmoozing”) the night away. The next SchmoozeFest! event will be Thursday, September 6. Start getting your act together and be a part of our creativity community’s support group.

- Angel Mendoza will be an essential part of the WATERWORKS! group show at the AC Gallery VIP PREVIEW this Saturday, June 2 starting at 8:00 P.M. The show at 1546 North Highland Avenue, Los Angeles will continue until June 23. Angel will be presenting his unique interpretations of Meso-American mythology utilizing modern technology. Come and support his artistry!…

- Brian Biery invites us through his newsletter to “the next Open Studios art tour in North Pasadena and Altadena!” He will be exhibiting his photographs “(including some new ones!) with four other exceptional artists at Kolhatkar Studios” on Saturday, June 2 from 11:00 to 5:00 P.M., and Sunday, June 3 from 12:00 to 6:00 P.M. at 1841 Santa Rosa Avenue, Pasadena. This event will be a venue on the tour of Pasadena studios, so start your tour there and then visit dozens of other locations featuring every manner of art. It will be a great way to see the variety of art that is being produced in the Pasadena area and you can support Brian in his efforts as well!…

- Jillian Suzanne shares the great news that she exceeded her Kickstarter goals in raising the funds to continue her latest fantastic project, “Dream Traveler-(TM)”! She also announces her new web site for Playful Exchange which contains “…helpful information, articles, blogs, announcements of playful-tools and activities in development.” Jillian has developed an exciting way to teach children to engage in learning and engage life in a playful way. We are proud of her accomplishments since taking our classes and getting her masters degree and we encourage her to keep creating wonderful worlds through her art!…

- Bill Wishner informs us that his new book, “Artifacts” is now available for purchase. This work is the “first in a series of publications documenting a 6-year photography project “Art of the City Wall” (2011-2017).” Through this book we have a window into his unique findings as he sought out visually intriguing images around the world and captured them for our contemplation and enjoyment. We are fortunate to have available this compendium of his work and look forward to future publications. Thanks Bill for your keen vision and thoughtful artistry…

- Ann Monn has created an intriguing new product line titled, “Ampusapien.” What makes Ampusapien so intriguing is that it is comprised of “artistic covers for prosthetic legs.” The artwork is spectacular (of course since Ann designed them!), and they are unique in the world of prostheses. Ann, you are to be congratulated for your humanitarian concern and bringing your artistic talents to the world of the disabled. Click on her web site to experience her distinctive designs…

(Editor’s note: Erv and Sandra are much too humble in their announcing this film about their incredible dedication to preserving the many wonders of our planet. This is a beautiful film and I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to view it and to celebrate the work these two marvelous people have done. Especially pay close attention at the end of the film where Erv says—and I am paraphrasing now—“Try to pick out those moments in your life when one little thing has made a difference to you, and that moment has changed your life. Maybe it was deciding to have children. Maybe it was that moment you wanted to be a baker, or a cook, and you’re in finances or something like that. Act on that. I just say it will be much more rewarding when you get to my age to look back on life and say okay I did what I wanted to do and I’m happy. In the back of your head you know you should have done this, or you should have done that. Do it! Do it before it’s too late!” Thanks Erv for summing up the values we promote and for doing what you and Sandra love to do.)

- Email from Sandra Noll and Erv Nichols, Nature Heroes, Nomadic Naturalists- “Hi, if you’ve got about 10 minutes, check out this site https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/blogs/migrating-sandhill-cranes-mnn-film-exclusive-bryan-nelson .

It’s the premiere of a short film made by a talented filmmaker Bryan Nelson that’s pretty much a culmination of our life as 'craneiacs.' It’s what we do and why we do it along with some beautiful footage taken by him along our journeys. I think you will enjoy it.
Your thoughts and comments appreciated.”

… AND NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES:

Left is Steph Zhong and right is Laura Elliott, both featured in this edition...

“The boat race image is taken from TESSA, a 30' Trintella Vriendenkring sloop designed by Van de Stadt, built in Holland in 1967 (just a little younger than me).

“The other photos are from when I participated in Global Dental relief in Nepal and when I did missionary work helping Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Jordan.

I also have a ‘Be Still’ Retreat that I run at my beach house for women who need to be still when they are facing major decisions and need to get away for a few days to take time to pray and listen to the Lord for His guidance.“

- Laura Elliott, Writer/Author- “Dear Tony, I’m writing to you about a dream come true. There’s really no words to say how happy I am in my new career and I know I would never be here without you. As you know I was pretty deep in despair when I came to Art Center to help me find a way out. What would I do now? How would I support myself in my uncertain future?

Well, I’ll never forget the chart we did juxtaposing our professional careers and personal lives in order to see our patterns. At the end of class we determined that my path would marry my passions for writing, travel and missionary work. It was all really great information but I had no idea how to apply this information to real life and how I would support myself.

I guess my message to people who are where I was is to just take the first step and follow your passions and pray for the Lord’s guidance.

The obvious things like travel writer or screenwriter not only seemed like long shots but as almost everyone, even a professional coach I hired to help me progress, would point out they all paid poorly. But I didn’t listen.

I charged ahead taking aim at the dream and the unseen, trusting in the Lord to show me the way. I had lost everything. I had no money. I had no idea how I would make my life work. At one point while I was taking your class I had to pay for my rent by pawning my jewelry, so pie-in-the-sky ideas shouldn’t have really even been on my radar. But I chose to put my walk with the Lord first above anything I understood. And I listened to where he called me to go.

After selling everything I had and journeying around the world twice, to 24 countries on 6 continents I now have a dream career and have made my dream of doing missionary work, living on the beach and owning a yacht come true too! It’s a crazy story but a wonderful story. I am a ghost. And since I also write about spirituality I guess you could call me a holy ghost. I smirked when I realized this because I remembered your challenge to us to figure out a great title so at a cocktail party people will ask you questions. …My business card lists my business address in Singapore :)

Today I am a contributing writer at World Travel Magazine and have gone on media trips that are fully paid for, my next one is to South Africa to survey Cape Leopards for three weeks this October. I write luxury travel articles and interview profiles that focus on life-changing, planet-healing travel featuring self-discovery, pilgrimages, eco-travel and journeys of the heart.

This is my biggest interview to date: https://www.wtravelmagazine.com/choreography-of-architecture-saving-the-planet-with-leo-dicaprio-and-the-romantic/

I have also sold my first screenplay for an episodic documentary series and the TV pilot is in production.

I am so happy because I live just about 10 minutes away from my girls and a five-minute walk from my yacht at Santa Cruz Harbor, where I sail with my partner, a sea captain, as much as possible.

Life sure has a funny way of working out. Right after I became partners on the boat with Joseph, about a year ago, I began to write for sailing companies and cruise lines. I even got invited on a media trip to LA (all expenses paid) to attend the CLIA show where I made a lot of connections and have a new piece coming out in World Travel Magazine about Beyond the Ordinary and Behind the Scenes Cruising. I write luxury travel so that has been very fun. This of course led to many more opportunities to write for other magazines and outlets as well :)

Thank you so very much for believing in me and for your wisdom. I think of you all the time when I bid on jobs. And every time I learn a lesson about how I could have done a better job of bidding. I constantly reference your advice on good business relationships––good communication based on respect all on a foundation of trust. This is my North Star in business.

Have a wonderful week! And thank you for the encouragement!!!

((hugs))”

- Steph Zhong, Creative Director- “Hi Tony, Happy belated 2018! Hope your year is off to a great start.

I wanted to share the release of a new online magazine/community I created called Zim Zum (http://www.zimzum.us). Thanks in part to taking your class, I was able to merge my love of storytelling, graphic design into a project meant to counter the rising culture of hate and intolerance we live in today.

This is an online place where people can come to restore their faith in humanity. By discovering or sharing stories of people who find love, friendship, connection, healing in unlikely places–with people they originally perceived as too 'different from them."

We're currently running a call for stories and invite past classmates to pitch stories (in any medium) for publication. The pitch guide is here, http://www.zimzum.us/pitch-us.

Above all, thank you Tony. You pushed me to find a way to make my passion for storytelling and design into a career. I'm on my way.

Hugs,”

About Us: Restore your faith in humanity, love what makes you different and connect with people from all walks of life. Zim Zum is a destination for stories to counter the rising tide of hate speech, fake news and screaming heads. Come to read, watch, or listen to stories of people stepping out of their comfort zones to meet someone they might not normally connect with. By curating these stories together in one place, we remind ourselves that humans are fundamentally compassionate, generous, teachable and giving. And if you’re looking to expand your perceptions of others, lighten up your bias, and own who you are, this is a safe and encouraging place to grow.

- Percival Carino, Graphic Designer- “Happy Monday, I finished the LA Marathon at 4:02. This was a testimony to my hard work and the love and support I have from my partner, family and friends that believed in me. Last year I finished the marathon at 4:58 mins. I shaved 56 mins from last year to this year and this clearly tells me a lot of what my capacity is not just from my personal work ethic but also on the things I am passionate about. I am excited to discover more about myself and the new chapter I am opening. I am very blessed, honored to share this with all of you as this was unexpected and I am so proud of my efforts.

Thank you and see you guys Tuesday night (in class).”

Was wondering if you know any producers/production company that would be a good partner for me to work with on Veterans Administration Public Service Announcements, VA PSA’s.
…I’m in the market to look for a new partner. They have to be good people…wanting to work for a good cause or they will become resentful of all the paperwork and bureaucracy.

Hope you are well!

I wanted to let you know of a couple of updates for me. I love reading about everyone else. I started back at college last week at Pasadena City College. I’m studying for my Associates Degree to jump over with a transfer to USC or Cal State University to finish my BA in either Linguistics or Political Science. I’m really enjoying it so far. We already have tests and exams happening this week. It’s quite a change.

Speak soon,”
