Creatively Fit Coaching Training

Certified Creatively Fit Coach

You may or may not know I’m a Certified Creatively Fit Coach and I completed the training in 2021. I wanted to share with you my experience as a CCFC Coach and how I have grown so much, not only with my personal painting practice but creating the art that is my life!

If you are looking for a way to be an agent of change for our world right now, this certification program could be the key. It’s fun, creative and meaningful and changed the way I show up in our world and how I navigate during this time of much needed deep healing for our planet. I painted up a storm, circled up with an amazing community of (mostly women) creative spirits who have become great friends. I have found my tribe!

The Creatively Fit Coaching Training has given me a renewed sense of confidence and the knowledge – that I got this! I can teach live or virtual workshops, coach others one-on-one or in groups and create my own online programs. If this sounds interesting to you click on my affiliate link:

Colorful Realism in Tattoo Art

Colorful realism is a unique tattoo style that combines the best of both worlds: the rich and vivid colors of traditional tattoo art and the intricate detail and realism of black and grey tattoos. This style requires exceptional skill and attention to detail, as the artist must carefully blend colors and shades to create a realistic and three-dimensional effect.

Some of her most notable works include:

  1. Floral Creations: Alex has a knack for capturing the intricate beauty of flowers in her tattoo designs. Her rich use of color and shading brings each petal to life, resulting in a stunningly realistic floral tattoo.

  2. Animal Portraits: Alex’s talent for realism truly shines in her animal portraits. She captures the essence of each creature, from the texture of their fur to the emotion in their eyes, creating a lifelike representation that is both captivating and inspiring.

  3. Mythical Creatures: In her colorful realism style, Alex also explores the world of mythical creatures such as dragons, phoenixes, and mermaids. Her vivid color palette and keen attention to detail bring these fantastical beings to life on the skin of her clients.

Conclusion

Alex Fox’s incredible talent for colorful realism has made her a respected and sought-after tattoo artist at Da Vinci’s Fox Tattoo Studio.

Visual Architects: Exploring Visual Identity

Visual Architects

In this very interesting interview, Manchester-based Lefteris Angelidis and host James Dickson discuss how social media is driving change in events’ visual identity. They discuss the likely impact of the Metaverse, creativity and the structure/longevity of set items.

The sustainability question spawns conversation about branding solutions for ‘off the shelf’ products, bean bags and recycling polystyrene, transport – vehicle cost and emissions – and electric vans’ reach limitations.

They go on to talk about LED screen technology, 3D mapping, creativity versus budgets, planning, Beyonce and more.

I completely agree with Lefteris that events should be fully sensory experiences. Audiences really appreciate full immersive experiences.

He mentions sustainability driven culture where it’s really important that we are not just throwing away and discarding materials after one use and how much you are working with your clients now on that balance between sustainability and the desire from the client to actually evolve and do something different every year.

The trend that we’re seeing at the moment is that eco-friendly and sustainability is becoming a must for event organizers. A lot of clients come to them because they don’t want somebody to make them something bespoke and then after that they throw it in the garbage. I love that this company is constantly scouring Facebook Marketplace and other places to find items that they can add to their full warehouse of different themes that they utilize again and again then also refurbish them. It’s a massive benefit for companies to be able to go somewhere and choose something off the shelf because they know that they are playing their part to help the planet. Other things they do like repainting and reusing carpets and fabrics with water based paints are a fantastic idea.

Lefteris also spoke about creating smaller VIP experiences. For a Beyonce concert event, they created a special VIP area in front of the stage where it looked like you’re going to a club in the 70s with the full disco theme and bar. They make something exclusive and only available to a small amount of people. There seems to be a trend toward smaller event where people can socialize with their friends and have more interaction.

It’s worth having a listen to this full 30 minute interview loaded with interesting and inspiring information.
