Art & Fear
We live in such influential times, we are often molded by what we witness on a day to day basis. With modern technology, there's definitely a sensory overload that I know I experience. The world is becoming so overpopulated as well, everybody's doing everything and anything. You can be a witness from thousands of miles away by a simple click of a button. It's undeniable that the options of self-expression are damn near infinite. I think that's mainly why we scrutinize our snap and Insta stories more often than the people who actually look at them. Perhaps sometimes, we become too sensitive to our own flaws. And maybe we can thank filters for that. Painting a view through rose-colored lenses for people to see us.

The Digital Renaissance and What It Means to Me
Greetings to all who may read this, whether you're in my lifetime or not. As I write, we are approaching the second half of 2017, and preparing for a new decade, the 2020s. With that being said, as most children (now adults) of the 1980s can understand....WOW!!! We are nearly 20 years removed from the 20th century. Next year, I will have lived as long in the 21st century as I had in the 20th century. So when 2019 comes, would I then consider myself a man of the 21st century? Never! Read up and I'll tell you why....

5 Ways To Fire Your Imagination
Get inspired! Sounds too simple, borderline stupid, but using websites like Pinterest or Instagram you can look at what other people have previously done. Many established artists have already found their unique style, and if you need some technique inspiration, someone else's work could sparkle an idea for you! Don't just copy what someone has already made, but think of how you could apply their ideas or methods to your way of thinking or your theme.

Monolithic
A few months ago, I received a Facebook notification that one of the writing groups I was a member of was about to be deleted unless I would like to become an admin. It had no admin and only 32 members. That group was Creative Writers.

How Social Media Promotes Thought Leadership & Brand Loyalty
Social media is an essential marketing tool for a business, product, or brand. Have you ever noticed how the most popular brands have a vast following on Facebook and Twitter? Check out your favourite department store, pizza joint, or shoe brand. This is due to brand loyalty. Once a company becomes larger and more well-known, it can also become a thought leader.

The Facebook Algorithm Explained. Top Story - May 2017.
A few years ago, back when Facebook relatively had a lot fewer users, you would be able to view every post from pages you liked in your timeline. Now, with almost 2 BILLION users active on the site, as well as the insane amount of marketers and advertisers getting their content on ad space on Facebook, there really isn’t enough space to push all content on people’s feeds.
