***Started a new blog. Why not? It’s a New Year!
Is Pinterest the New Tumblr? - This is an article from IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) and it tells a quirky tale. They posit that Pinterest may be the new Tumblr.
Why is this quirky?
Anyway, I hope one doesn’t replace the other. I like them both! But in the grand scheme of things, who cares what I like! It’s just business. Eh, Guido?? :)

Art, books and music. How could we ever manage without them? They’re so essential to the human psyche. Honestly! Some people get thrown into prisons and they’re like:
OK! Got a good book I can read? Pencil and paper so I can sketch (or write)? Eh! Don’t worry about the stereo or the radio. I hear music in my head! I’m good!

| Reading level: Ages 4 and up. An introduction to Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, etc. 4 years old is not too young to begin teaching a child how to appreciate art and encouraging him or her if they have the talent. This is a short book that teaches the styles, works, and techniques of the great masters and features many activities to nurture the child and guide them in creating their own masterpiece.

Spotlight on a great artist that I discovered. He isn’t inlcuded in the book suggsted above on great artists. He hadn’t been born yet. :)
♦ Alfred Alexander Gockel
was born 1952 in Ludinghausen,Germany. He published his first work when he was only 8 years old. Mr.Gockel says of his work: “I like to touch the viewer’s soul with my vibrant colors.”
His art collection is subdivided into two major categories: unique artwork and graphics. Today he is one of the most prolific distributors of modern art posters, with customers in 50 countries.
Gockel, was commissioned by the U.S. Olympic committee to create an official piece of artwork for the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, which is titled “USOC Olympic Celebration”.
Gockel’s unique style – boldly colored abstract images lined in thick black against a white canvas – has become his signature. He was named 2011 Official Artist of Top 10 Jazz Festival and his jazz artwork
is super cool. But personally, I fancy his floral prints.
To describe the man’s art is one word?
- MESMERIZING!
