- The September 9 SchmoozeFest was another successful event attended by a small but energetic variety of talented professionals. Among other presentations Conceptual Designer Tony Velasquez joined artist Steve Benson in showing the work Tony accomplished on a Star Wars themed trailer. Dennis Hill discussed his work doing photography of historically significant architecture. And Revere Jones went into the art of guitar restoration and other artisanal enterprises. The presentations were followed by a networking session where the attendees had a chance to chat and support each other’s ventures.
Plan on attending our next presentation and networking event on Thursday, January 11 and held at the Art Center at Night/Public Programs building 950 South Raymond Avenue, Pasadena. Mark you calendars.
*****
- We have started a new term of Crafting a Meaningful Career-Part One- Discovering the Dream with a vibrant group of creative individuals. We are in the third week and are progressing well on our journey to help our attendees take their careers to the next level. If you have an interest in our classes check in with an Art Center at Night counselor at626-396-2319.

*****
- Tony Luna Creative has a new website! After years of looking for ways to bring the web site up to date we are happy to say the TLC website it is now up and running. Big thanks go to the creative genius of individual sports and adventure photographer/director Justin Bastien, with technical assistance by Trevor Spruit. Thanks to them both for their guidance and expertise the web site and blog are in one easy to navigate location. This allows anyone who wishes to get the whole picture of what is offered convenient access to the support, inspiration, and networking offered.
One special note. The photo chosen for the home page was taken by Crafting a Meaningful Career alum Chuck Chugumlung after a lecture for Innovate Pasadena/Design X last year. You will notice that one of the people in the photo is our gracious friend and inspiration Dr. Soren Petersen who has since passed away. This photo was purposely selected in homage to his vitality and love for all things creative. The use of this photo is in his honor and brings us joy in remembering his friendship.

- Amy Gaskin, Photojournalist- “Hi Tony, Wonderful to hear from you! Thank you so much for writing.....yes, those are my shots.....cannot believe both of my images were chosen....such an honor.
I've been away from photography a bit… but am now back in the swing of things. Trying to catch up and dig out of the backlog.
One of my shots chosen by APA is currently on billboards and buses throughout Los Angeles. A bit surreal, but fun…
Warm regards,
Amy
