Awareness is an integral part of our daily lives now, with more and more people communicating across the globe through speedy communication methods. As a result, advertising and promotion has also become a part and parcel of our lives where someone or the other is forever spreading awareness about a new product, service or idea. We have realized long back that it does not help to simply have a great product unless the target audience is made aware of it. However, the large number of advertisements being forced on the audience through the electronic media at times takes a toll on the public and many a times, your message or communication may simply get lost in the crowd. It is therefore necessary that an advertiser or promoter discovers new and innovative mediums to creatively promote his t
This Tory Burch 'Lux T' Canvas Tote comes from the pre-Fall collection but it makes me think of Spring. Probably because the weather is so gloomy in New York that any burst of color makes me yearn for warm, sunny days!

It's one of the perfect tote bags for those of you who take the train and need something other than a boring black tote to carry your work essentials. Even though there's no top closure (boo), the bag is still haute and it's $295 (not bad).Pre-order yours now!

You have a choice of 2 frames, the black plastic and brown wood. I went with the wood last time and I was very pleased and
Dirty Canvas gave Jammer's Are You Dumb vol3 launch party a platform to give us a damn good show. To be fairly blunt, the night wasn't what I expected it to be and apart from some short hype moments it was a little disapointing. There wasn't the usually pack of Are You Dumb street teams throwing cds at you to buy, which I was weirdly looking forward to since I haven't got the first AYD. Jammer attempted to battle out with his own costume legendary title, which he gave a good beating to with his zebra printed, purple pimp suit.

As part of a swap I have hosted on UK Stampers Forum , here are my entries for the 'Canvas Tag Swap'. Each participant was sent two precut plain tags as a base and asked to decorate anyway they liked. The returned tags were randomly mixed and two tags were returned to each entrant.The tags were cut from a roll of gessoed canvas using a template made using my Cricut machine. The tags are 5.5 ins. x 3.5 ins. approx.My first tag used the base canvas tag and Inscribe permanent metallic acrylic paints in Peacock, Plum & Sapphire, randomly applied with a real sponge over the entire surface of the tag. When the desired effect had been achieved I heated the painted surface with a heat gun and some of the thicker wet painted areas bubbled as they dried. This gave a bit more texture to the base

I’d forgotten how good this song is and given the dearth of good Irish pop songs (I said good) it is odd that it is so rarely recalled on 80’s laden playlists. Minor Detail were 2 brothers John and Willie Hughes from Blackrock and despite a fleeting recording career they have the distinction of being the first Irish band to be picked up by a US record label (Polydor). This was a big achievement in the grim 80's but listening to ‘Canvas of Life’ you can't help but notice the potential. Flush with melodies, ripe with invention and most interestingly it still sounds contemporary after the recent obsession with all things electro pop. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to track down the video to the tune which from memory was a heartfelt homemade effort involving a mime artist of Irish descen

Canvas Laptop Computer Concept for Creative Types [Creative Laptop]The creative brain of designer Kyle Cherry has had a go at reinventing the laptop, with the specific needs of 'creative' users in mind.

He envisages it being a touchscreen device with a configurable screen, skinny and attractive enough to make even a MacBook Air look twice. Of course, it's just a flight-of-fancy design, but after a glance at the gallery you too will be wishing it was a real machine.(Via Gizmodo.)

The Carousel HorseOn the outside, of a beautiful carousel horse, you see shiny paint, a wooden shell, glossy colors....but look deeply into their eyes and you will see the soul of a trapped horse, who longs to be free. He doesn't want to go round and round any longer. He wants to leap from the slick, circling platform onto green meadows and feel clean air sucking through his lungs.You don't know it, but at night, when the carousel shuts down, the hooves are freed from their pedestals, wood becomes living flesh, and the horse's wish is granted.When I was a child, and I visited the carousel with my grandparents, the horses knew I was "one of those who understood". They'd came to my house in the dead of night and I'd hear their impatient hooves outside my window. I could open the window a
