Revolutionary Artist Ahmad Khawaja
A multifaceted personality, Andrew Warhola, popularly called Andy Warhol, began his career as an advertisement illustrator after completing a Bachelors' Degree in Fine Arts from Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Born in August 6, 1928 in Pittsburg to parents of Slovakian origin, Andy Warhol suffered from learning disability during his childhood. At the tender age of eight he suffered from the deadly disease of chorea that affected his nervous system and also affected his skin, an ailment that bothered him for the rest of his life. In spite of these impediments, Andy fared well in his academics and later in his career that spanned from an artist, to an author and also as a filmmaker.

Andy's career as a commercial artist working in New York was a successful one but his quest for attaining popularity for his skill as an artist he drifted into taking up painting. The exhibitions he showed them up with gained immense attraction by art lovers. He intended to popularize paintings and introduced a culture of pop painting. Andy later set up the 'Factory' where he built a conglomerate of artists and illustrators who could work for him to produce more of his paintings. The Factory became a popular name and was frequented by several persons of eminence. Andy went to the extent of making screen prints of paintings. That however received severe criticism from several quarters.

His creativity ran boisterous when he began to tread into a pervert domain, when he started making pornographic films and erotic paintings. Some of these like such as Blow Job, Lonesome Cowboy and Chelsea Girls are considered as underground classics. While Factory provided him with a platform to elevate it also brought him close to his death. He was shot at by Valerie Solanis, an associate of his, who turned antagonist over a trivial issue. This gunshot was near serious. It was miraculous that Andy survived. He underwent prolonged surgical treatment and made a come back but the effect of this dreadful act left an adverse effect both on his life and creativity.

Andy Warhol died of a massive heart attack in 1987 on February 22 while undergoing a normal gall bladder operation. His art and the philosophy of his expression has left behind a plethora of creative designs both famous and infamous, but un-ignorable nonetheless.

Display of his woks at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania stands testimony of the creative excellence of this renowned public figure of recent times.

The Artist takes advantage of this history and Jean Dujardin's character has a thick french accent, which is why he is so opposed to doing talkies.

Recreating a print i liked from a book called "illusive" by linn olofsdotter and animating.

Artist Colony is a "village" simulation game that revolutionizes the genre. Based on concepts similar to games such as the Virtual Villagers series, the goal of Artist Colony is to create and manage a thriving colony comprised of people from all artistic walks of life: from painters and sculptors to singers and guitarists.

The story of Artist Colony starts a generation ago when a pair of best friends - both artists - decided to found a secluded self-sufficient village where people from all artistic talents can live and develop their skills in peace and amongst similarly-minded people. Unfortunately, this prosperity started to unravel when a beautiful sculptress turned up at the colony and drove the two best friends against each other fighting for her love. One friend won her love and had a son with her, but when she ended up sleeping with the other friend and conceived his son, the whole thing fell apart and the colony disbanded.

The game of Artist Colony picks up the story one generation later when one of the sons comes back to the abandoned colony with HIS best friend (cue dramatic music) with the intention of reviving the idea of the artist colony and restoring the village to its former glory.

The game starts with the best friends arriving at the old colony that has fallen into disrepair. The game slowly introduces the mechanics to you while explaining the backstory and the short-term and long-terms goals of the game.

The overall goal of the game is to restore the artist colony to its former glory (while experiencing the developing story of the two half-brothers). This is done by attracting a whole lot of artists to live in the colony and by restoring all its landmarks.

Each type of artist has a "workplace" that they can train in (ie. a recording studio for a singer). In order for more artists to come to the colony, these training centers need to be upgraded. These upgrades and the landmark restorations both require cash, which can be earned by selling masterpieces: works of art produced by your artists. These masterpieces in turn can only be created when your artists have sufficient training and are inspired.

Artists need inspiration to be able to produce great works of art. They can be inspired by beautiful surroundings such as fountains and flower-beds, and through romance with fellow artists. When their objects of affection return their advances, they become inspired to create works of love (think Celine Dion). They can still create masterpieces if their romantic advances are rejected. They'll just paint/write/sing about heartbreak instead (If the artist is a singer, the product will most likely be a country and western song). In addition to all that, the artists also need food and shelter in order to live comfortably; another detail you will need to manage.

The mechanics of the game are simple and elegant. There is enough detail and complexity to keep you interested and engaged in the game, but not too much as to slow the game down or turn it into a chore. What makes the game really stand out is the overall feel. The characters and surroundings have a very charismatic cartoony feel, making you easily fall in love with them. The soundtrack and even the change in seasons and weather make this game very engaging and enjoyable.

Artist Colony isn't a typical village simulation game. Its depiction of a colony of artistic people trying to build a community and reach the pinnacles of artistic excellence is a refreshing change from the traditional simulation game. But above all, this game is all about the story of vision, romance, heartbreak, treachery and drama. Definitely a game you do not want to miss.

I just watched ten minutes of an 18 minute video clip blog from an artist who is searching for a personal (music) manager. He says he hasn't gotten ahead like he really should because he has not had a supervisor- and this long term manager wants to make him a precedence consumer, yet he doesn't say something about his very own achievement or what he is undertaking that requirements management.  I turned it off. I had heard it all before.

Weekly, I get up to twenty myspace buddy add-requests from artists who say "I want a supervisor. Pay attention to my music.

" I hit "deny" practically each time. I meet artists all the time who want a manager, simply because they want the manager to "take us to the next level" or "hook me up with labels" or "get me shows." They all are singing the exact same tune.

Artists - if you look for a manager and don't totally comprehend artist management, are not sure what your wants are and don't know how to go about correctly introducing yourself to a potential manager, this write-up is for you.

ARTIST MANAGEMENT

Unbelievably, many artists who look for management actually have no idea what it is. They just know that the supervisor is their ticket to larger success. Managers guild the artist in the direction of accomplishing their established ambitions. Managers are an integral component in obtaining new ways for an artist to successfully compete in the marketplace. The artist supervisor is involved in establishing, marketing and sustaining the artist's occupation in conjunction with the efforts of the artist. But managers do this their own way - there is no marketplace standard.

QUALIFYING

The 1st step is qualifying oneself (the artist). Qualifying by yourself implies sizing your (music artist) self up. What are your accomplishments? Have you finished a demo, which includes mixing and mastering and manufacturing it or are you in the first levels of recording? Have you been executing well? Have you sold songs on iTunes or had radio play? Do you have a buzz with press? What is noteworthy about you?

Do not begin bragging you are the hottest, best so&so to hit the streets... To managers that signifies practically nothing, if you have practically nothing concrete to back again it up with. You require actual, measurable progress that we can back up. There really should be some momentum to your profession, before you seek out management. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be wildly profitable , but you need to be ready to articulate what you have accomplished in your occupation so far and also be ready to state what ambitions you have for your occupation development and advancement.

 Right after you qualify by yourself, you also need to qualify the manager you seek out. Just obtaining "a manager" really should not be the objective. Managers tend to be better in specific regions, and most operate inside a particular genre.

Check out who fellow artists are represented by. Study these managers. Do they have excellent reputations? If so, ask for a meeting with them explaining your achievement and why you look for representation from this specific manager. There are several excellent managers out there, but there are unqualified, unprofessional managers as well. Figuring out who you are pursuing is a crucial 1st step.

Desires

When you did your self-analyzation, you ought to have recognized your strengths and your weaknesses. It will be essential for you to be ready to articulate what demands you have beyond your wish to get to "the following level."

Managers have diverse strengths (some have wonderful expertise establishing an act, some have marketplace "ears" and can help you choose a tune, and some have strengths in touring, etc.) By identifying what you need to have, you can get nearer to obtaining a supervisor who is the proper fit.

Quite a few hungry artists feel their accomplishment rests in some manager's rolodex and they seek out this man or woman out for one reason only- to get access to the manager's connections in the organization. A great manager will, in truth, have a massive checklist of qualified experts. But as managers, we guard these contacts like treasured gems. The manager need to have a powerful belief in the artist's long run achievement prior to he/she setting up conferences and engage their colleagues about you.

A much better focus for you is to get started with self-management or have a pal assist you in the company parts of your profession. Operate on your artistry and your recognition (followers on the net and offline). Seasoned managers have their eyes and ears open to who's up and coming and if you are producing a lot of buzz (selling out shows, selling CDs independently, 1000's of hits on YouTube, and many others signs). That supervisor will locate you.

Another option is to seek out a management consultation which will allow you to tip-toe into a working relationship with the manager. Sometimes managers will be prepared to talk to you on a challenge-by-undertaking basis and that way you have some organization help why you audition for the supervisor and they audition for you to see if it's a correct match.

RECIPROCAL

The best management - business relationship is built on trust and respect. If the manager truly believes in the artist's talent and the artist totally trusts the advice of the manager, it can be a really gratifying business relationship. The two parties ought to function equally well.

Recall, managers are paid a commission of the artist's income. So, if you have no earnings coming in consider this option, spend for the manager's time in a another way (like hourly or by the mission), until eventually some earnings are produced. Make that be the initial benchmark, for you each to obtain together, to discover earnings streams for the artist and their music.

So to recap:

• Determine your strengths & weaknesses and qualify your self.
• Be able to articulate who you are and what good results you have had.
• Discover what artist managers do.
• Think about self-management whilst you construct your fan base.
• Have something to handle just before approaching a manager! Determine what your requirements are.
• Study managers and find those that perform in your genre of music and have great reputations.
• Build trust and respect with the manager before demanding they open their rolodex, and sey up with a honest way to pay the supervisor for their work.

These handful of factors will set you apart from the zillion other artists out there aimlessly reaching out to "a manager" in cyberspace. And hopefully aid you in finding a mutually gratifying relationship to build your profession. More info of Music Artist Management

Artist Statements, Artist Biography Tips, And Resumes

"If you aim for a market you'll miss the mark." Whoever said that, I'm a believer.

It's no good looking over the shoulder at what strangers prefer before creating. True inspiration is the optimal motivator. Quality issues from there, and its purity taps the nerves of audience attraction. That said, there are far too many masterpieces tucked on shelves behind the light of day.

Strong promotional tools may be secondary to our motivation, but they're essential. Like the apex of an iceberg, they show first. They introduce our work, foster credibility, and mirror how far we've traveled along the arc of our goals. Those we know may direct us to new connections. But even then, we must support those connections with an effective "portrait" of who we are.

Selling is a part of every career. Never underestimate the power of presentation. Why not enter the new season prepared with an updated, incisive, authentic, and powerful presentation?

What do you need? A dynamic artist statement, artist biography and artist resume is the beginning. Effective artist portfolios and proposals are also important. Start now and stay ahead of the pack. So, what are the important elements of these essential artist presentation tools?

Artist Statement: - Shaping your essential bond with viewers and sales.

An artist statement communicates what motivates you as an artist. It's the most personal part of your presentation; an opportunity to bring your viewers and potential buyers closer. It offers a glimpse of the person behind the work.

While keeping it informative, let your personality show. Share your ideas and concerns, and how they are revealed in your work. Explain to viewers what your work means to you, not what it's supposed to mean to them. They will arrive at their own conclusions. It's okay to mention influences, but mostly keep prominent names associated with your career for your resume, where they will serve as testimonial and avoid the appearance of boasting. Give some details about your techniques and how they help you achieve your vision. Then, you might add a segment about how your approach is unique.

Most general artist statements are around one page or less. Brevity sustains attention, so I lean toward three or four concise paragraphs. In some situations, a statement about a particular artwork may be requested. A statement can act as a marketing piece in certain commercial situations, which may be appropriate. So be sure to tailor your artist statement to its purpose.

Artist Biography: - Creating a memorable snapshot of your career life.

An artist bio contains similar information to the artist resume, but is presented in paragraph form, is less formal, and is most often written in the third person. It serves to highlight the information presented on your resume. It's a great way to convey a "snapshot" of your career experience.

Artist Resume - Detailing your career with clarity and professionalism.

An artist resume details your accomplishments, endeavors, and knowledge. It offers a full picture of your career, and the categories featured on the resume will depend upon your artistic discipline. It's important to update your resume on a regular basis, adding and deleting the listed activities, as appropriate.

An artist resume can be one to four pages in length. Most artists have two versions prepared: a longer and shorter version. It's often best to use a professional paper stock, in white or ivory. The style of type varies, and can add to the resume's professionalism.

Artist Proposal - Standing out from the crowd with dynamic writing/shaping/editing.

Artists also use their portfolio to apply for specific projects, funding programs, residencies, or other competitive opportunities. These applications may ask you to submit a project description, details on your approach to the project, and a cover letter.

These written materials should be tightly edited and tailored to the particular opportunity. Be passionate and sincere in the presentation of your work, and always conclude with thanking the panel, juror, and/or organization for their time and consideration.

Typical questions for you to answer will be: Why are you an ideal applicant? How will you benefit the program or project? What technical qualifications, abilities, or personal assets can you contribute? How will you benefit from the opportunity? How would the project advance your career as an artist? How would you use the money awarded?

Visual Artist Portfolio - Keeping the heart and soul of your work evolving.

Your portfolio is the most valuable tool in your overall presentation. Your visuals are worth a thousand words, and an arresting portfolio can help close the gap, should your written materials be less developed, as in many young artists on the career path.

There are many approaches to a portfolio, depending upon the discipline. One universal ingredient to a successful portfolio is a sense of continuity. The transitions between and within subject matter must cohere. Color, tone, shape, scale, all must be considered when choosing what images to include and how to position them. This process involves subjectivity as well as objectivity.

Most artists benefit greatly from feedback from a trained eye, and reactions from untrained eyes can also be helpful. A portfolio is most successful when modified and tailored, with acumen, for its particular audience.

Many artists now supplement their physical portfolio with a digital version either on the Web or presented on CD-ROM or DVD. Stay current on new formats and choose the method(s) that feature your work most powerfully and support your marketing goals.

Am I an Artist or an Artisan?

The English language is extremely rich, and provides the possibility of precise communication. Our language evolves rapidly, and while some new expressions emerge to describe modern life, many existing words have their common usage modified and corrupted. The term “Artist” provides a good example.

As a young boy, I dreamed of becoming an Artist, and that single word proficiently expressed my desire to paint and draw. Today I am a professional Artist, but have to qualify my title with an explanation.

My aging 1990 concise Oxford dictionary defines an “Artist” firstly as a painter (of pictures).

The word immediately before Artist is “Artisan”, meaning a skilled (manual) worker.

The word immediately after Artist is “Artiste”, meaning a professional performer, especially a singer or dancer.

The terms Artisan and Artiste are rarely used today. Our language has evolved, and “Artist” has become a generic word applied to any person who expresses their self through any medium.

The connection between artists and painting has become so diluted that the word is increasingly used to denote “skilled” people in non-"arts" activities, such as "scam artist" (a person very adept at deceiving others), "con artist" (a person very adept at committing fraud), and “p*ss artist” (a person very adept at drinking alcohol).

There is nothing inherently wrong with using the word “Artist” as an all-purpose title, but it does not effectively describe whether you paint, sing, dance, have a manual skill, or are about to empty the drinks cabinet!

So why is it that our language has evolved along these lines? Why would an Artiste or Artisan prefer to use a title that less adequately describes their skill, and invokes ambiguity?

Maybe the change has come about through ignorance, and falling standards of education? Could it be that people think Artiste is the French pronunciation of Artist? Well it is, but Artiste is also an English word with a different meaning – or it was!

Perhaps the change of language is a form of spin doctoring? My dictionary offers a further definition of an Artist as “a person who works with the dedication and attributes of an artist”. It’s not a very good definition, since it effectively it says that an Artist is “someone who works with the dedication and attributes of some one who works with dedication and attributes” (which is a bit like defining sticky tape as - tape that is sticky)! However, if someone is a singing artiste but prefers to be described as an Artist, they are really saying they are more than a singer because they perform with “dedication and attributes”?

Re-defining the word is possibly just a reflection of changing perceptions, and a growing acceptance that art is the act of creation/expression? If we agree to the modern view, which applauds the act of creation rather than the end product, we all become Artists, because we all create something at sometime. This shift of focus from the Artist’s product, to the creative/expressive process severs the necessity for skill, and the title “Artist” is available for use without fear of derision.

I create Portraits for a living. My artwork is not about me expressing my inner self, or being imaginative, but producing a likeness, and working to a client’s specifications. Maybe that makes me an Artisan: a skilled manual worker, and not an Artist after all?
