WHAT IS ECLECTIC ARTISTS?
eclectic |iˈklektik|adjective1 deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources.
This is the first post of "Eclectic Artists," a webpage that belongs to Eclectic Network, the new-media company founded by Jesus Rojas Torres AKA JesusJay his artistic name on Twitter.
As a journalist himself, ROJAS TORRES uses the power of the Internet to communicate positive thinking teachings mixed with cutting-edge Contemporary Art.
"It was a pleasure to receive a positive feedback from MAM Director Thom Collins during a Contemporaries event at a Wynwood gallery , when I told him that I was uniting art & spirituality in my blogs," said Jesus Manuel Rojas Torres, a Venezuelan-American citizen journalist based in Miami.
Eclectic Artists is about all things eclectic borrowing the phrase from the uber popular NPR "All Things Considered."
"I will be traveling in two weeks to Caracas, Venezuela where I plan to show during an exclusive art exhibition produced by Eclectic Network and presented by WHATSUPMIAMI WUM, extraordinary works from international artists based in Miami," said Rojas Torres.
"In May, I will be traveling to Shanghai for the second time to cover the Latin American Pavilion & the International Wing at Art Shanghai 2012," added Rojas Torres.

Art-Ist editie 2
Welkom
Namens de organisatie van Art-Ist heet ik u welkom op deze veiling. Het is de tweede keer dat dit unieke event georganiseerd wordt. Na een eerste editie in november is vandaag het moment dat de opvolging zich aandient.
Vandaag ziet u 10 kunstenaars op het podium die vertellen over zichzelf en hun ambitie, motivatie en inspiratie. Dit alles geven zij vorm in een kunstwerk. Op basis van het verhaal dat zij vertellen wordt er geprobeerd u over te halen een bod te doen, en dat zonder dat u het kunstwerk zal zien. Spannend voor de kunstenaars, maar zeker ook voor u.
Deelnemende kunstenaars:
Hieronder vindt u informatie over de kunstenaars die vandaag geveild worden.
Het overzicht wordt u aangeboden zodat aantekeningen gemaakt kunnen worden, of om zelf samen te vatten tijdens de voorbereiding op het al dan niet bieden op een kunstenaar.

Pizza Hut Sticker from the 1970's
Pizza Hut Pete
I found this really cool sticker image on Flickr. I have no idea who that dude is, but it rocks. Below is what Jason Liebig said about the sticker. I found the image on his account. He seems to be big into the sticker collecting thing.
"From the same great Ebay lot as my other two Pizza Hut stickers. Another early 1970's Pizza Hut sticker. I call this one "The Dangler" since Pete is just dangling the logo there.
Again had to clean this one up a bit, but could only do so much. Up close the screen print becomes pretty rough... but I managed to remove the stains that were on it.
Another day-glo sticker, designed to catch your attention with it's unnaturally bright colors."

I didn't even know Pizza Hut existed in the 1970's.

How Bad Are McDonalds Fries?
Why McDonald’s fries are Tasty?
An important factor in the success of this fast-food chain is its tasty fries. These are the customers’ favourite item and are more poplar than their burgers. The cooking oil they use adds to the taste of the fries. They cook fries in a mixture of about 7% cottonseed oil and 93% beef tallow. This gives them their unique flavor.
This fast food burger company faced controversies when criticized by the Indian Hindus and the vegetarians alike, regarding the use of beef in their fries and by the health conscious people; the McDonald authorities apologized and admitted using beef fat and proclaimed their switch to vegetable oil which is less cholesterol producing.
How healthy are the French Fries?
French Fries may be tasty but not healthy. They contain sodium and saturated fats.
Acryl amide is a chemical substance produced when starch rich food stuffs are baked, fried, grilled or micro-waved at very high temperatures. It is carcinogenic; that is, can cause tumor and cancer. French Fries are fried at 190°C.
We have found a trans-fat free oil to fry our fries and plan to use it for our entire menu items by 2008; we are already using it in a large number of our restaurants, claimed McDonald’s. But the critics say that the authorities had instructed their staff not to tell its customers the restaurants they have started using the new oil.
Eating fries fried in saturated oil regularly can increase your bad cholesterol count, thereby risking coronary heart disease (CHD), your chances of developing tumors and cancer. It can make you real fat!
It is impossible for a customer to identify fries made in saturated oil and trans-fat free oil, at sight or by tasting or smelling them. The WHO should ban the use of saturated oils, thereby producing healthy and tasty fries for the fry-lovers round the globe.

Marilyn Monroe's Photographer - Milton Greene
Marilyn Monroe
Milton H. Greene took some of the most beautiful photographs of Marilyn during their association from 1953 to 1957. He really did capture some of the most iconic photos of her. Apparently he took about 5,000 photos of the blonde vixen. Wow!
Milton Greene
Greene first encountered Marilyn Monroe on assignment for Look Magazine. They quickly became close friends and ultimately formed their own film production company. Monroe lived with Greene and his family in their Connecticut farmhouse. During this period, Greene captured some of the most famous photographs taken of Monroe. During their four years together, Greene photographed Monroe in 52 photographic sessions, including the famous "Black Sitting".
