Mixed-Media on X @salleecreates

Artwork – Mixed Media, Sketches and Artwork

It’s been awhile, let’s see what is going on, see our latest Artwork Updates on X.

I have to admit it’s been months since I shared any artwork or mixed-media projects, or provided any insight into my creative process. While I’ve shared a few marketing ads here and there, I haven’t shared anything on this scale in a while. I thought it might be interesting to share my before sketches,  unfinished work and even pieces that didn’t quite make the cut. So, here’s the idea.

20 Minutes A Day

I dedicate 20 minutes a day to my sketching, painting, mixed-media, and artwork preparation activities for new, in progress or pre-work. Most of my work is done in a few 5.5″ x 8.5″ sketchpads, which I will eventually transfer to canvas board, wood, or another medium. I’m not yet sure how I want to share these pieces moving forward; X, web or the combination of the two. This won’t be a comprehensive listing, but rather a good representation of the sketches and paintings I’m currently working on. Ultimately, I would like to showcase all of my work in some way, but for now, here’s a quick look at my artwork updates.

Next, you can have look over my other pieces, completed artwork, studies and mixed-media or design work projects. In closing, this is just a continuation, more of a beginning on the site. I will continue to keep you all updated on my whereabouts, what I’m working on in terms of art/artwork, as well as things happening in and around the office here or what’s on the bench.

Currently, I am focusing some energy on around 40 smaller pieces. My goal is to continue sketching for at least 20 minutes per day. I am also planning to include more pieces featuring human anatomy, various animals, boats and aircraft. For those computer people from the internet, check out the ASCII Art post… very cool.

Finally, stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to follow my work online @salleecreates on X.com. Take a look, and follow me if you’d like. Cheers!

Power Switch Series

Acrylic Power Switches Series

Artwork – Switch (acrylics)

Lab Work – Power Switches

Back At It Again, The Power Switch Series is now underway, in Progress

It’s a start. The switch series has begun, and acrylics are now on canvas. It’s been awhile since I last used a paintbrush on canvas. Lately, I’ve been spending more time on the sketchpad. A year or two ago, I sketched out a few smaller ideas, before moving to stretched canvas around the office. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of smaller pieces. My preference for canvas size is 24″ (rectangle) and above. So, we are sowing new growth. For more of my work, check out the following links – Movement, Sun Study, and more under the acrylics tag.

It’s a start. This will probably be a 5 to 6 part series on the same subject, in this case, an old light switch. Who knows, I may decide to scale up a number of sketches at some point, once the direction is set and the subject gets ironed out. The latest revisions and work will be posted via X @salleecreates so check it out!

Take a look it’s a bit difficult to determine exactly what it is right now, but it’s there… Stay tuned for updates in the coming months!

Learn Something New, Remove Issues, Eliminate ‘Blockers’, and Reduce Waste.

Adverts – The Value Of Vision

Aim Small, See Beyond; Eyes On Target. Take note of the clouds ahead and understand the need for growth.

This could be seen as a metaphor or warning ‘Clouds Ahead, Understand Growth’ for recognizing trouble and having clear indicators and strategies in place to maintain service on a large scale. It’s crucial to understand the value of working with a close-knit team, whether it’s a small group or a global one, that is focused on the present moment.

Understand the importance of servicing with a tight-knit crew, seeing the clouds ahead, understand growth being a single member llc or a global team focused on the present moment. In all seriousness, the size of the team should match the scale and severity of the problem at hand. Learn how to increase your profits, learn about potential growth during challenging times. Explore different types of growth, such as stagnant growth, and find solutions based on your current resources and staff.

If I may offer a suggestion, let’s keep things simple – empower those around you, work with what you have, learn a new skill, and improve the team, whether it’s a solo project or a corporate design team, every day. We seek change, but change at a fundamental level, not just on the surface. The key is to enhance true value, the potential of humanity. Empower those around you, even in times of trouble and turmoil. Understand the scale of business and learn to navigate change effectively.

As more paintings come out of storage, let’s touch on Movement. We will be sharing acrylic and oil art form in the backlog.

Check out the motion series posted under artworks, which celebrates the concept of motion in various forms – whether in life, through sound, or in other worldly ways. The goal is to capture movement, light, emotion and action.

Below you will find a mix of mixed-media and acrylic works that study water elements, creatures, the night sky, and radio signals in motion.

Raise and shine! Or Another sun set, sun cascading over the rolling water, salt, and sand. Let’s start, there are a number of pieces to this study, more paintings to the Sun Study, mix media pieces etc., currently unearthing those from storage. Here we have a series of light; sun/sun sets etc.

Light. These pieces focus on the light (oppose to dark) from a certain light source, the sun and how it falls on objects, land, or water. For now, the following sunset works will serve as a storage/archive for the series. Created in various sizes, using acrylics and different mediums, we delve into the exploration of the sun.

Become A JQuery GURU via Astrononymous “Astro-Non-Ymous”

*Please note, astrononymous.com is CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. This is a long-term guide in progress, a jQuery guide or study tool if you will. At the moment, most of the build stories, content remain in the backlog. However, the main Bootstrapped theme, index, and subpages are available or in production. This has a long-term build tag, so, patience is needed of course. Just need a little time “Scotty” (Star Trek reference about not having enough power from the core power unit to speed off into space. For context, the famous character, Montgomery “Scotty” Scott Chief Engineer on the original U.S.S. Enterprise). Why is this reference relevant, it’s a reference to Scotty’s ability to make stuff work; make miracles happen. Check back in a few months, we should be up and running.

More jQuery development is on the way, as mentioned, it is a work in progress. I would be remiss not to redirect your attention to our other designs and website builds on X @salleecreates. If you are looking for more web work or other pieces of artwork, they can be found under the tag portfolio.

You’ll see however, that basic structure is there, BS V5 elements, usage etc. Scope out the main nav, content and secondary nav for secondary content. Time is always an issue, so I ask for your patience in providing the necessary time to sort out the most important Python elements. We groom said elements, and publish code as we build the site. Today, we have next steps as the intro, Core Python, Advanced and DB (more). Putting us in good shape so that we can deliver new content productively. Goal being deliverability, staying true to a deliverable schedule or track for now.

Development will continue, shipping pieces and parts on the regular and as we build, test and publish elements to the site (iteratively). Including the welcome content, ‘hello world’ and core code elements. That way we can build over time, add what needs to or removed what is deprecated (removed from the standard code) via Python.org. We do want to include this guide, same TWBS v5 elements as the others, those will also be groomed and updated on the site as we ship pieces and parts.

One final note, we may transition this into a WordPress CMS site for ease of use and content management, including updates on new code or removed (deprecated, no longer supported elements) Python elements/code. We could likely get the core elements up faster than hand coding the site. More to come.

Bootstrapping borg2borg

Borg 2 Borg A Bootstrap Framework

Borg2Borg Unit

Lab Work – Web Work

Bootstrap’n Journey number 412 version 7

I’ve been wanting to share this for a while now, especially since version 5 has been out for some time. Borg2Borg v7 is now available and ready to use. It has been posted on the web. Get ready.

The sites mentioned above are intended for reference. Please treat those links as such; reference materials. The goal is to provide working templates for anyone to use and help others learn various coding languages, such as PHP.

Iterative Work in Progress

This is considered work in progress, code has been moved from our Git repository (moving away from Github). This code will live under the borg2borg domain for now. Please excuse the dust as some sites may require rework during the transition to the new space… However, we are transitioning away from Github. Therefore, website references like Borg2Borg v7 or reference materials will also be published on each specified domain. Additionally, we have started the conversion process, and all public/private/secret Ghists will be used as code references. Our goal is to assist people in learning code, such as Python, PHP, jQuery, JS, etc., for public consumption in the near term. We aim to meet and exceed our goals by providing code reference materials, coding examples, educating, and sharing language challenges and techniques with the masses. You will see coding examples presented in the following format or treated with Bootstrap HTML Treatment.


<h1> - PHP Print Example<h1>
<h3> - Calculate and Print<h3>

<?php print(1 + 2) * 3; ?>
Here is a quick PHP print statement, utilizing the Bootstrap4 code treatment for the purposes of an example, the console will calculate and print the calculation to the browser.

Again, for probably 2 months now or so, we’ve converted all Github/Ghists to a companion file within the site folder. Next step will include a conversion to a database. At least that is the goal, assuming time is available.

Same for Django, this might be ‘jumping the shark’ as I want to get a working version of Django up on the ole’ web-server and see what we can do from there. I guess the overarching goal is to offer language/code reference material and Bootstrap examples. Local examples, jQuery – Astrononymous, BurmPy and 1Fyr.

So, lots of work out there, ton of things to do, clearly… not enough time in the world to work on side projects. We will get there one day at a time. Enjoy!

Let’s start with involvement, I was voted in as the Development and Experience Chair for the following organizations – NEOUPA and AIGA – The Professional Association for Design. Key positioning for developing skills trees, direction and empower hobbyist and professional members.

During my dual seat terms, I did the following: Set goals and established the direction for learning.

  1. Gained agreement on research and application practices.
  2. Held usability sessions focused on enhancing the user experience for traditional designers, web developers and software engineers.
  3. Executing on goals set forth by the board.
  4. Set guidelines for the two associations by emphasizing the exploration and mastery.
  5. Integrating three key disciplines: user experience, design, and development.
  6. Remove overlapping skills, creating focus and distinct skill sets by discipline.
  7. Implemented skill maps so students, amateurs, hobbyists and professionals can see how to grow the profession.
  8. Worked to enhance skills and promoted interdisciplinary collaboration amongst professions in the field.

The objectives were to bring individuals together, foster collaboration, and enable professionals to deliver exceptional user experiences.

Finally, and the main topic of this message, highlighting the importance of World Usability Day. Here you will find an example of marketing slip, informing the general association, non-members and leaders in the area. Although it’s been many years since my time as chair, I enjoyed learning and networking with other professionals. Today, I retain membership in both and the Manatee Chamber Of Commerce, AIGA, and UXPA, as a member at large.

Clockwork Series

Artwork – Clockwork

Let’s cover artworks titled “Clockwork”… Made famous in the book A Clockwork Orange by English novelist Anthony Burgess. A grim dystopian look at a group of young hoodlums, hell-bent on raising hell, in this dark world of ultra-violence made famous by Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the Burgess classic in 1975.

Clockwork is a mixed media creation that simulates an automaton’s interpretation of street art, taking on the task of being ‘creative’. It incorporates spray paint, markers, a paper pad, plaster, and board.

This hybrid interpretation of urban life is a mixed media series made of plaster and board. It focused on street art and uses various paint types including Krylon, Rust-Oleum and/or Dupli-Color aerosols. Check out the Clockwork series and others like it, which highlight various mediums, surfaces and mixed textures.

Lab Work – Painting Contractor Web Work

Bootstrap CMS Website, for CT base RG Way Painting Contractor.

Customer Request and Focus on Family

First, let’s start with client preferences and requests for the website – ideally, an optimized, easy-to-use, user-friendly, photogenic, mobile-first design. The goal is to provide customers with an online experience that mirrors the quality of service they receive in person. Personal care and customer immersion are two key takeaways and factors to include in the design.

It’s worth noting the business was a father and son operation, that covered the Southern Shore of Connecticut, Hartford, New York and Pennsylvania. It was a small two-man operation focused on providing residential and commercial expertise and care. The main focus was on customer service experience, with the aim of making potential new customers and returning customers feel valued.

The client wanted his customers to see the care and experience the craftsmanship and level of service for themselves. The goal was to help customers envision themselves in their new or renovated spaces upon completion. This approach helped maintain loyal customers and emphasized long-term customer relationships, friendships, and partnerships. Additionally, sharing customer feedback and recommendations based on recent work completed added a personal touch to the business.

Residential and Commercial Clients

Secondly, the point here was to highlight professional level/portfolio level work both indoors and outdoors including residential and commercial spaces. RG Way Painting Contractor offers painting services, general contractor services as well as handyman services. All services are of excellent workmanship and are local to the Southern Connecticut market. The most important aspect of this work example was a quick portfolio site for clients to experience the  RG Way experience. This includes sharing more about the planning-to-construction process, including clean up and payment. The goal is to provide ‘white-glove’ concierge level services, finding the right solution for your great investments

Communication and updates were also included in the scope for RG Way Painting Contractor. Customer feedback, recommendations and advocacy are a must, has this client had over 25 years experience and loyal customers willing to share their appreciation of completed work. It is always great to see such great services, professionalism and care for customer needs. Check out other website development, strategy and projects, like Borg2Borg, and some original posts on Tech Tools and small tech like nano drones etc.

We assisted in building the marketing, branding and strategic message across various platforms such as the web, marketing materials, presentations, business cards and more (marketing collateral including logos, single-page websites, mailers, brochures, etc.)

Secondly, our goal was to present one voice, exuding confidence and professionalism in our concierge service. We aimed to create a cohesive team with one brand. Offering the highest level of care while looking out for the best interests of the client, their family, and friends. Our services went beyond just helping with the process of finding and an expat’s next home in the States. More importantly,  the Xpat Desk provides assistance with furniture, clothing, storage, personal effects, and everything. All personal affects needed to establish a new home in the United States of American. The Xpat Desk is a white-glove service finding all products and services to welcome home expats.

OHPASCO

OHPASCO

Lab Work – Web Work

Web studies include three examples, OHPASCO, Clapboard Video and Talented Young. Find each example below, others not listed below Island House Tap and Casa Masa. 

First, starting with OHPASCO. A local small accounting business, based in Shaker Heights, Ohio. The client was looking to establish a marketing presence online targeting family, friends and tertiary contacts. The main goal was simple, expand Midwest and Mid-Atlantic online presence. Specifically in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. 

Furthermore, while there was an increasing need for dedicated resources, the popularity of shared hosting, cost and cloud based professional accounting services, the focus shifted towards implementing a marketing website to provide information and gather contacts, along with a practical hosting solution.

This work was a foundational study on mobile-first or device-agnostic design. A focus was placed on adding Bootstrap-lite features implemented in a  WordPress CMS environment. ‘Business on a page’ (infinite scroll) or a CMS to serve up marketing content. The goal was to provide monthly updates and a home for social media to drive traffic and encourage visitors to call or schedule an appointment to learn more.

Clapboard Video
Clapboard Video - Wedding Videography

Continuing on with the web studies, we have Clapboard Video, a local small business that specializes in digital wedding video and photography services. They offer full coverage of pre- and post-wedding celebrations.

Talented Young
Talented Young

Next, we are excited to highlight Talented Young, a local startup that aims to showcase design portfolios in a Facebook-wall like format. They use cards to display individuals’ skills, talents and contact preferences, creating a virtual portfolio for creatives, architects and more. That’s Talented Young in a nutshell.

Our main focus has been on improving the designer experience, exploring possible communication channels, identifying favorites, and presenting internal offers. The design was created as a study for a large project, an academic proposal, or an online student portfolio offered by a franchisee (school) or private institution.

Also, the owner had great international exposure and was friendly and open to an iterative design and release strategy. Lastly, an early adoption of an agile and/or scrum based development and creative plans and holistic methodology, allowing build teams and design teams to focus on practical and pragmatic use of the system while developing the most important, shippable deliverables.
