"First thing in the morning, before you meet or greet anyone, remember to greet all of nature, all visible and invisible creatures. Say to them: "I am grateful for your work, I love you and want to be in harmony with you!" At this very moment, in response to your greeting, all of nature will open to you and send you energy for the entire day."

Sadkin

Ella Sadkin is a 26-year old london based artist who works primarily with acrylic and graffiti pens to produce colourful and abstract works.

With its hard black lines, bright flat colour and organic and geometric shapes, her style is often described as surrealist cartooning.
Sadkin was a child of the nineties and a huge cartoon fan, and cites early drawing of The Simpson's characters as her first foray into cartooning.

The NacGroup Presents Ivan Roque “Lost in Cinema”

Posted | Views: 5,615

Ivan Roque’s “Lost in Cinema” is a series of 16 works based on the artist’s characters “Lost” and “Found.” Using collage and painting Roque pays tribute to 20^th century cinema greats such as Al Pacino’s “Scarface,” Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky,” series and the cult classics “King Kong” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Born on December 27^th, 1991 Ivan Jorge Roque, also known as “The Lost Artist,” is a Cuban-American urban artist hailing from the inner city community of Carol City, Florida. Currently a student at the Miami International University of Art & Design, Roque is an emerging urban pop artists to watch. He has been working steadily and has accomplished quite a repertoire at an early age. Roque has participated in a number of group shows, has had a public installation commissioned by the town of Surfside and was chosen for the Pop Up Piano Series during Art Basel Miami Beach 2012.

Roque’s collages present his interpretation of the world. The artist explores morality and questions definitions of right and wrong within the context of contemporary American society. He created the characters “Lost” and “Found” as a representation of the two halves that make up every individual, good and evil, mischief and innocence, rebellious and loyal.

The new works present a move towards a new direction for Roque as he pushes his limits in “Lost in Cinema.” Movies are a source inspiration for the artist and he appreciates the medium’s ability to convey messages. Roque sees film as moving paintings with endless possibilities for interpretation. This association started the idea to merge cinema and fine art into this new series, which will be accompanied by a surprise site specific installation at Nac Gallery.

CONGRATS GRAD!
....now what?

So, you graduated from college. Congratulations! You survived years of all-nighters, finals, 10 page essays, overpriced textbooks, and too much alcohol consumption.

You should be proud of yourself, really! College is really really hard, and not everyone makes it through. And now you have a degree which is a huge accomplishment in your life.

But after years and years of school, from Kindergarten til now, you may have absolutely no idea what is next. I mean really, what the eff do you do after graduating college??

1. Breath, it may have been awhile since you last did that. For a brief amount of time enjoy the fact that you have just accomplished a huge life goal.

2. Now stop breathing, for the rest of your life, and define your goals. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Write down your short and long term goals, this will give you a better chance of achieving them.

3. Network! Contact any connections you may have, take internships if you can afford to. Impress as many people your desired field as possible so that you will have recommendations and a place to build up from

4. Dont turn your nose up at a job. Beggars cant be choosers. If you absolutely need a job, take one.

5. Keep a positive mind set! Employers love fresh, hungry people who believe there are endless oppurtunities.

6. Update and monitor your social networks. Clean up Facebook/Twitter/Instagram and update your linked in. Employers check these things, believe it or not.

7. Be Prepared To Fail

8. Respond well to that failure. That's how we learn and grow. Learn from your mistakes, fix them, and improve.
