We are busy, busy, busy! It makes no difference to us if it is getting close to the weekend, or if it is still Monday – we run around like mad accomplishing things in 24 hours that should take no less than 72! Even when we are ready to drop, there are more things we need to take care of. Good for us! We are doing our best to keep on top of everything in our lives. But hold on one second, are we having fun?

Having a good time often falls behind on our list of priorities. In our daily race to accomplish more and more, we forget that one of the fundamental aspects of life is being able to enjoy the things and people around us. We tell ourselves that we will relax after that work project is done, or after the school exams are over, or after we get that paycheck, or get that new car… But the truth is, after we accomplish one thing, there are other projects already waiting, other desires to be fulfilled, new challenges to be conquered.

We say we only live once, so we spend our lives chasing after things that we think matter, often forgetting to examine why we chose certain things over others.

Being a genetic workaholic myself, I’ve only recently realized that I was putting everyone in my life second to my job. I have the current economic situation (and not as much available work) to thank for making me realize how much I was missing by never allowing myself to enjoy time off. Just spending an entire day with my boyfriend’s kids, watching them enjoy life with such abandon, gives me energy for the workweek ahead. Taking a mental break and enjoying reading a book (one of my favorite things to do) puts me in a better mood, and helps me organize my thoughts. Now when I am rehearsing at the studio, I put my soul into my dancing. It is not only about winning a competition, or getting ready for a show, no matter what. I am more then ever aware of dancing because it makes me and others happy.

It seems that we forget the importance of having fun somewhere between 2nd grade and high school. Joining the adult society in our culture means entering the race to achieve, and those of us who chose other things instead, like their family, or their passion, are often seen as under-achievers, even freaks.

Maybe the reason behind the current economic hardship is the Universe telling us to slow down, stop the race, look around us. Maybe until we start appreciating what we have, there isn’t going to be any more to achieve. Maybe it is time to learn the value of having a good time, cultivating relationships with other human beings, learning more about ourselves.

Japanese Kanji symbols are very popular as tattoos as they are unique and they can convey a very personal and meaningful message in an artistic and exotic way.

Complex language

Kanji is one of three different types of alphabet character symbols used in a complex system of writing. The other two are Hiragana and Katakana. All three are used in different ways. Kanji conveys ideas in picture form, which may not always convey the exact meaning. Hiragana is sometimes used with the Kanji to modify or clarify the meaning.

Hiragana is used more for everyday use while Katakana is used mainly when dealing with foreign names.

The Japanese language contains literally thousands of characters. These were adopted from the Chinese, which have anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 characters. Scholars disagree on the number but, as you can see, it is a lot. In everyday use in Japan there are around 2000 – 3000 characters.

Multiple meanings

One of the major pitfalls in choosing a Kanji tattoo is the actual meaning of the symbol. The meaning can depend on the context and can have up to ten different meanings. It is essential to do some research before having a permanent symbol on your body. Make sure you get an accurate translation or, better still, use an artist who understands Japanese. Some artists are reluctant to do Kanji because they are not sure of the meanings.

There can be good reasons for getting a Kanji tattoo – with one symbol you can express a thought or an idea or a philosophy and you can do it in an artistic and different way. However, Kanji is limited, as its symbol will express a simple picture or expression. It does not lend itself to more involved quotes or phrases. One of the other scripts may have to be used with Kanji to express your words. This is where an artist’s knowledge of Japanese can become important.

Artistic expression

Japanese calligraphy is an art form. In fact, one artist believes the meaning of the symbol is unimportant as it is more about the look and flow of the script – more about the artistic expression. This would not suit everyone, as most people like to use a tattoo to convey a message to themselves or others. However, for those who do want to express themselves artistically, the opportunity is there.

Kanji tattoos can be attractive, artistic and meaningful, but they can be a trap for the unwary. Do your homework and make sure your tattoo means what you want it to mean.

William Burnell has a long standing interest in tattooing – its art, design and history.

There are no definitive standards for art in art licensing, what a manufacturer needs will vary from company to company. While greeting cards have a pretty standard 5″ x 7″ format, other product size requirements cover a wide range. If you are designing a quilt top, your art might need to be 40″ x 80″ and a magnet manufacturer may need 2″ squares. Size depends on where the art is going.

Size gets trickier in licensing since the goal is to license the same designs to multiple manufacturers for use on multiple products. The design you first license for a magnet may later become a card. If the original image is 2″ square, you might lose resolution and have to start over to fill the 5″ x 7″ card parameters.

Then there is the actual artistic process to take into account.

Every artist has a different process and you need to do what works for you. Some art that is licensed started out as large canvas, others did not. If you paint or draw too small, the resolution will suffer and not reproduce well if enlarged.

I have a large format scanner and dislike having to scan art in pieces and get them to go together seamlessly on the computer. It just doesn’t work for me! So I never paint larger than 11 x 15. But I don’t paint full “paintings” either. If I create a holiday scene for example, Santa, the tree and each and every gift are painted and scanned separately then put together in Photoshop. So they may not all be on the same piece of paper to start with. An entire collection of images never fits on a single sheet of watercolor paper.

Bigger is better when dealing with hand painted designs for licensing.

Art can be scaled down and look good but if are enlarged too much, they will get blurry. If you know what the end product will be or have something in mind, I recommend you paint larger than you think the art will need to be.

One thing that is certain, you will need to get your art into a digital format if you want to license it. So figure out how you can get it from the easel to pixels in a way that puts your work in its best light!

Famous black and white photography prints go for a lot of money in the art market. Have you ever wished you knew about an artist’s work when it was cheap enough for you to invest in before it started going up and up like a red hot stock tip? Well you can. The black and white photographs of Alfred Cheney Johnston, a contemporary of Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz are gaining steam.

Alfred Cheney Johnston was the famed photographer of the Ziegfeld Follies. During his reign with the Follies, Cheney shot some of the most famous and beautiful people in the world – Lillian Gish, the Barrymores, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the Madonna of the Jazz Age – Louise Brooks known by her fans back then and today as just “Lulu”.

Cheney shot thousands of stunning black and white photographs. They’re stunning because of his fine art training. ACJ started out as an art student in New York City and was a protege of artist Charles Dana Gibson, who created the “Gibson Girl” modeled after his wife. While Cheney was still in art school the medium of photography was gaining ground as an acceptable art medium. It was Gibson who brought Cheney’s attention to photography in the first place and encouraged him to explore it as a new way to express his artistry. Thankfully Cheney listened.

During the Jazz Age, before the big stock market crash which triggered the Great Depression of the 1930′s, Alfred Cheney Johnston was in great demand. Not only was he photographing all the stars and many of the chorus girls of the Ziegfeld Follies, he was photographing the denizens of Fifth Avenue in the New York City. It wasn’t long before Hollywood came calling wanting to hire Cheney to shoot stills of the stars. At one time Johnston was as famous as many of the people he photographed.

The Great Depression brought ruin all across the United States. With money tight, especially for such luxuries as going to Broadway musicals, Flo Ziegfeld was forced to close the Follies. Alfred Cheney Johnston and his wife retreated to an old Connecticut farm where he lived out his life in total obscurity.

Upon Cheney’s death thousands of his photographs were discovered in his studio. An old turkey coop was filled with all his glass negatives. The negatives were carted off to the local dump. The black and white photographs were inherited by a close friend. Eventually the entire collection was sold to a photo dealer.

Thanks to the Internet, especially eBay, those stunning black and white prints started being offered for sale on the auction site. As a result Alfred Cheney Johnston’s work is slowly regaining its notoriety from the days of the Roaring 20′s.

George Washington Carver was a lecturer at the Normal and Industrial Institute of Negroes in Tuskegee in 1897. Carver was mainly involved in studying the problems faced by the farmers who grew cotton. He developed a method through which the farmers could retain and conserve the nutrients in the soil.

This was also famous as crop rotational method. It is considered as one of the most important inventions in the field of agriculture. George Washington carver suggested that the farmers plant peanuts, pecans and sweet potatoes so that the soil can be enriched for cotton harvest.

Carver also created a market for peanuts by discovering hundreds of uses for it. He did the same for sweet potatoes, soybeans and pecans. He also invented various dyes of hundreds of shades and mainly used the agricultural crops for them. Before that textile dyes were always imported from England. Carver also invented the process of manufacturing paints and stains from soy beans and he was allowed to patent this invention. However, George Washington Carver did not patent most of his inventions and as a result he did not reap any profits from his numerous inventions and discoveries.

He also invented the cook stove chemistry that helped to improve the diet of families that were not able to buy meat. Carver was also the main person who developed the peanut butter, shaving cream, cloth dye, leather dye, wood stain hair tonic and laxative. He also invented several food products that were made form peanuts and soy beans. He also invented flour, sugar, and yeast. His contribution to the society in terms of agricultural products has been immense.
