creative bronze

During my first visit in Mark Hachem's art gallery in beirut, i discovered for the first time the greatest master piece created by Dirk De Keyzer. a large collection of figurines in bronze , weirdly proportioned , you may say caricatured .
i just love his sense of humor and the way he portraits human beings , he is definitely one of my best artists,
you can still check out some of his sculptures in gemmayze, alley way ... just amazing

Creative concrete

Quoting the great song by pink floyd : "all in all it's just another brick in the wall". which is not the case with this particular illustrator : give Marie-joe a wall and she wouldn't destroy it ... but paint it with all the colors, materials and fabrics she can find in order to transform it into a beautiful canvas .

In collaboration with Toufoula association for children with cancer she has transformed the hospital rooms into dream rooms for children , putting colors in their dark experience.


i am taking the chance to shed the light on one of my inspirations , and an amazing illustrator in my post ,
i will be adding a link in which you can check out her work, here below is a glimpse
click on the images and you can appreciate them in larger scales,
hope you all like them ....









Creative dough

creativity comes in shapes, colors , ideas ....
creativity comes in taste too, sale (salty in french) is a cozy place you can find in achrafieh beyrouth in a small traditional street.
you can find whatever kind of kish you can imagine, and in all sizes!!! it's a great idea to order a large kish or mini ones for a party, dinner or just for your own delight.

as you go into the store , all in white, vintage and modern at the same time , you could just feel the creativity flowing and your stomach growling :)

for more information just contact the following number : 961 1 323 621

life is sweet , but it could be salty too ...

Creative people around me

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3604245910


Let me start by introducing the company I work for as a production manager.
In my opinion Miracle films - studiovision has one of the best team of producers and directors and most of all very creative and hard working people in a very competitive and complicated field (advertising and production).

With the little we have and a group of 6 people, we have achieved a lot.
When I say" the little we have " it is not to criticize, but hear me out:
I would really like to have the walls repainted, white doesn't really match my complexion.
A bigger storage room!!! With all the commercials we produced and the great art direction we have, we could never dispose of all the wardrobe and props we bought, we couldn't even get rid of the smallest plastic Christmas tree and a beautiful huge wallpaper board that reminded us of our last great shoot... every time I go in that tiny dark room I imagine all the props and wardrobe coming to life and all charging at me.

Enough blablas....
Go to our FB group I think it's a real inspiration and shows the real hard work our team has put in it....


If anyone from my team or managers are reading my blog: "Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving" :)
