Art of Words

Art in the form of words, story telling, blogging & writing …

Recently rediscovered that the ancient art of writing and speaking with it’s modern incarnations on the internet. Loving all the video blogs, podcasts and readings online. Visual stimulation is only as good as the stories behind them. Check out this list of truly talented and creative people who are so good in their “art of Words”. It really is a skill to be able to speak, articulate and write an idea that paints a picture that is as vivid as the real thing. That is one skill we would have to hone and harvest from within.

Check out:

Scoutie Girl blog – with Editor, Tara Gentile, giving advice to a group of Etsy DIYers on her own philosophy of giving creative business a “kick start”. A great snippet to “refresh” that creative brain and reconnect those juices. Check out this inspiring video blog.

Crafty Pod is a podcast by Diane Gilleland interviewing and reviewing issues that crafters and artists care about

Firefly Creative Writing is a Toronto based workshop run by Chris Kay. I listened to her first Audio Workshop and was truly inspired. She also has some great links to other great writing / literary sites.

In the words of Timmy Douglas

To be precise, it should be Doctor Timmy Douglas.
The quote : “Courage my friends; tis’ not too late to build a better world” has been made beyond life size (21 feet long to be exact) at the newly opened HEALTH for ALL Family Health Team – the Markham Family Medicine Teaching Unit facility in Markham-Stouffville Hospital. They have approached us to create a feature wall for their Waiting Room bearing the words of the good doctor Timmy Douglas. Of course we jumped at it.

Working with the colour palette of the waiting room chairs, existing wall colours, we picked a deep ocean turquoise colour for the base of the feature wall and designed letters of varying fonts to emphasis on the key words in the quote. By further playing with the thickness of the CNC-cut acrylic letters, and finishing in both matt white and brushed aluminium, the quote finally came to life. According to our client, people from other departments and hospitals have been visiting the facility just to see this wall …. we are very honoured.

Part of this project also involved colour consultation for the Doctors’ and Residents’ offices and also design of their logo wall in the waiting area.
