Changes coming up...

Hello everyone... After experiencing a great "Fresno pride moment" with the FS Bulldogs winning the College World Series, I am back to work...

Our online community have been growing at a great pace... With that said, I would like to remind that we are still in "beta" status --- which means that our platform will "break" or "change" anytime. However, any changes would be for implementing incremental improvements in the usefulness of the website.

Within the next few weeks, I… Continue

Another Installation...

Pardon the pun. I couldn't help it.

Yesterday, the server just didn't like my uploads, no matter the flavor. Reminded me of teaching my kids how to eat from a spoon... you get the picture. (I will not write at length about the fact that the cooler belt on the AC also broke yesterday.) These last two sculptures are by Chris Sorensen and Bob Gifford. The… Continue

Public Art continued...

I think I enjoy doing this in short bites. If anyone happens to visit any of the works I'm posting, please do comment here and even include your picture of the same? That would be great! So, with that said, on to a few more works around the region. This metal sculpture by Chris Sorensen is in the back yard of the same home where you'll find Bob's door, in the… Continue

Slowly, surely...

Good morning...and thank you Victor for the nice comment and the reminder to document! Like many artists, I work like crazy and often forget to document. In fact, yesterday's photo road trip was an effort to do just that for Chris and Bob.

I added the Egrets in last night's quick entry. They are three, by Chris Sorensen, overlooking the San Joaquin River, on Friant, right across from the Copper development. The path that goes by them leads from…

And Back to Where I started from...

I promise to post details tomorrow. My 4:30am rising time has caught up with me...I was a dolt at sunrise? You should see me now...

Here's an appetizer from the day

Too tired for words...

*THUD!"

OK, so I should blog, already.

I am an absolute dolt in the early morning. Although I get up early, I wake up late.

Today, I'm off to photograph some friends' public installations and other work, all over the bloomin' county. It's supposed to be something of a roadtrip.

Pictures to come after the event!

Arts Marketing and the FAC

The Fresno Arts Community is now over 100 members strong. Please continue to invite fellow artists and arts promoters to join (especially before Fall 2008 when membership to the Fresno Arts Council (FAC) will be required to join the community.)

I would like to blog about the FresnoArts.net project, the FAC, and marketing in general. The purpose of the FresnoArts.net project is to provide a centralized marketing and communication platform for artists and arts promoters. So far, after… Continue

New Feature: Mail and Search

Hello everyone...

The Fresno Arts Community is growing. We have over 80 artists sign-up in only two weeks with over 500 e-mail invitations pending on the queue.

I would like to announce that I activated the mail and search feature. With growing content, the search function is a real time saver... And with mail, any member could now communicate to another member by clicking on "Send a Message" link right below the member's photo. I hope that both features will come in… Continue
