Douchipedia.org

In the rise of Wiki's, made popular and well-known by none other than Wikipedia, there have been many successful, educational wikis, which are user-edited collections of information. My interest in this particular project stems from a) the rise of the term "Douche Bag" that generally is used to insult anyone the way "jerk" or "jack ass" used to be used in the past and b) the centralist based double standards that this term carries with its usage, such as when one person dubbs another person as this term for a certain act, and then they themselves turn around and perform the act themselves. Douchpedia.org is an attempt to bring a consensus, collective, and consciousness to this term, to define "Douche-baggery", and to bring awareness to end-users of the influences of their behavior on others.

The “Absolutely Free” Ad Space

To promote a person, business, or service that rocks, free of charge!

Well, considering advertisements should be used to promote stuff I actually want to have on my site, I am hereby introducing the “Absolutely Free” Ad Space - the ad space I give away for FREE to the company, service, or person I am inclined to feature for as long as I wish to feature them. This may be a friend, a cause, the return of a favor, or whatever, but this I can guarantee: it is absolutely un-coerced and out of my own intention. It is absolutely free traffic for the beneficiary, and they deserve it, for just being cool enough to deserve this free real estate on my site. Nuff said!

Free Ad Space on .www.carolinecblaker.com

In a short while, I will have a form set up on this website to fill out for new ad considerations. Filling this out fully is the best guarantee of getting the Ad Space- that and sending me a direct email knowing to expect you. Feel free to tell your friends about the “Absolutely Free” Ad space too!

Landscapes in Latex

I’m looking forward to taking my latex color painting to the next level: the landscapes of New Mexico. First on the list will be the volcanoes of the petroglyph national monument, to the west of Albuquerque and visible from just about every point in the city. Next will be the Sandia mountain horizon, to the east, and a much more prominent landform of Albuquerque, and can even be seen in some of the films coming out of the area (*cough Beerfest *cough). I’m also looking forward to going to the Acoma reservation and painting some of their incredible, timeless rocks. I have recently added a new color to the 6-color palette, a cool, glossy, deep blue that I believe to be the newest missing ingredient to this body of work.

Come and drop by Chroma Studios during any Artscrawl to check it out!

The Credit Card Project

To collect as many solicitation "credit cards" as possible.

The predatory nature of credit card lending is evident only to those of us who it has burned before. Furthermore, a measure of “too much” credit has been extended to consumers, leaving our economy in the mess where it now exists. Credit cards are dually both a symbol of wealth and a symbol of need, both a symbol of stature and a symbol of weakness. I am motivated to create sculptural objects out of credit cards that present both the positive and negative sides of credit and the credit system for mutual observation. I have already collected hundreds of “credit cards” from solicitation letters and I need your help to collect thousands more.

Save your card solicitation credit cards! Put them in a pile, and send them to me at Chroma Studios. I am especially interested in the American Express Clear/Blue “Your Name Here” cards, which you’ll recognize if you get them.

Eagle Valley Artists Alliance

The Eagle Valley Artists Alliance was founded in the summer of 2007 in the Vail Valley of Colorado. As a founding board member, I took on the role of marketing and branding this fledgling group. Now that I am no longer in the Vail area, I still develop and maintain the website.

Update:: 2/01/09

The EVAA website redesign has reached its first one-page draft. For more information visit The Eagle Valley Artist Alliance website.
