Ok now… ok now. 

EL CAMINO artshow episode one

Will release January 30^th

We hope you enjoy it.

I hope you will check out this new format our friends in France created.  It's a great design layout for archiving, communicating and new media.

Currently its "beta," but I expect it to spread well.

I created a profile in only 5 minutes... that's a new record for me.

Sheila Frank is an inspiration to EL CAMINO as an Independent Fashion Designer. We hope you will support her hard work and beautiful designs.

                   

Sheila Frank Spring 09 RTW Fashion Show

 On Thursday, September 11^th at 2pm, at The Broadway Comedy Club, located on 53^rd Street between 8^th and 9^th Avenue. 

 

 

This will be Sheila’s 3^rd NYC show since the launch of the label in July 2007.  Sheila Frank’s swimwear label is currently carried in 11 boutiques nationwide.  Sheila’s Spring 09 Collection takes a departure from her well-known retro/pinup playful style to a more sophisticated feminine attitude of Charles Dana Gibson’s “Gibson Girl”. Sheila journeys through early Victorian; Aesthetic dress, Edwardian influence and a painting by John Singer Sargent titled “Lady Agnew of Lochnaw.”  Sheila illustrates the “idea” through simple design elements rather than costume. This collection shows a subtle marriage of old and new, provocative and prudish.

Sheila Frank is a young independent designer rooted on the east coast, expanding across the US and Internationally.  Sheila received numerous awards during her college career at Moore College of Art and Design, BFA in Fashion Design and interned for Charlotte Ronson. 

 

Sheila meshes her inspiration with her modern aesthetic with her love of design of passed eras.  Sheila is interested in all shapes and sizes and believes that all women deserve to look and feel stylish.

When everything is unfamiliar by the current population of the world, Sci-fi will dictate with no connection to the past archive we possess. 
The current history of the world will be a chapter for children to investigate in their leisure.  Our hope is that they might ask their personal “mic” to play radiohead for them again after school and maybe some Roxy music.

I would like to start a company involved with promoting creative ideas, people, and projects.  It is my opinion that you are not a company until you have an office …I’ll keep you informed. 

 

The core of everything I involve myself with has become a statement of expectations. 

“Make Something Real”

 

I guess I’m becoming a media business for creative arts.  Can you relate to doing projects all of your life to figure out your purpose in the world?  A few years ago I read a book called Authentic Business by Neil Crofts, and I thought, “This sounds right.”

Crofts book talks about elements that justify business authenticity.

1. A purpose beyond profit.
2. A purpose that is profoundly held.
3. A purpose that is socially and/or environmentally positive.
4. Integrity between communication and action.
5. Respect for others and avoid exploitation of resources and customers.
6. Distinct and unique qualities and are not jumping on a bandwagon.

 

Today I am delighted with emotional support from people who believe in the cause.  I’m so excited about the future of EL CAMINO and I’m so appreciative of everyone here in the beginning of a big something, maybe nothing.

So now what?  We are developing content for EL CAMINO, filming EL CAMINO artshow, developing the podcast EL CAMINO audiofiles, and designing a new home base website.

 

I welcome your input for stories, creative people, and your judgmental ideas about being authentic.  elcaminoaudiofiles@gmail.com

 

Thank you,

 

Chris

1.    David Cross knows how to be silly.

His characters are visually funny before he says anything.

 

2.    David Cross makes me laugh when I don’t want to and about things that

I don’t want to laugh about.

 

        3.  David Cross has a talent for developing characters that are impossible to      copy.  Which is why he is an original.

A True story about luck, peace, love and understanding

or “Keep On Truckin”

 

2 weeks was enough time to prepare for our “public art project video thing” about drawing on paper plates and wearing them as face masks.

Everything was ready to roll until days before the show our 2^nd camera man had to cancel.  No problem, I thought, as long as we could borrow his light mount for night filming.

Also days before we discovered there was 2 house parties on the same night that will pull most all of our friends and volunteers from participating.  No problem, I thought, as long as a few friends make it happen.

Hours before the show another friend canceled because of a long day of family obligations. No problem, I thought, as long as 2-3 friends can still help out.

Driving to the Santa Ana Art Walk our lone cameraman calls to inform me his son has a fever and he is unsure if he could make it.  No problem, I thought, as long as we get photos of the project.

I parked and started walking down the street with a box of supplies, folding chairs, and a giant clipboard when the phone rings.  My last 3 friends are not communicating and no one has a ride to the event.   Oh man… no problem, I thought, you can’t make friends help out.

What do you do when you’re expected to film galleries that invited you into their show and you have a booth to set up by yourself?

The answer is nothing can be done.  You just sit and wait for your luck to change. A solution will present itself.  I sat against a wall for an hour watching people trying not to think about anything, then the phone rings…

Our lone cameraman is on his way to salvage some filming. Next our 3 friends got in touch and are on their way.  2 more friends appear because they were too tired to go to the house parties.  In a matter of minutes, rays of sunlight broke through my clouds and we were back on a schedule, a schedule of randomness.

By the end of the night we had plenty of participants coloring paper plates, pictures taken, and film rolling.  No one knew everything that didn’t happen.  We never got a light mount for night filming so we used a flashlight and everyone had a great time.

This story is for artists and dreamers to understand a lesson about patience and appreciating the magic created by your friends doing the best they can to make your dreams come true.

Thank You Mike, Rachel, Carla, Eugene, Jeff, and Wendy for Making Something Real.  Our folk art video should be on episode 2 of EL CAMINO artshow, this fall on KDOC television, channel 56.
