Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. Nevertheless think of if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Amazing blog!

A company proposal is created to reflect the professionalism of your organisation and is there to persuade a buyer that your goods or services are valuable to them. Together with any other collateral it is the proposition which you are giving to the customer and what will hopefully win much more function for the company.

You have a recent example of how personal life information can alter one’s perception of an artist’s work. Kanye West will know firsthand how being an idiot will affect future record sales and other business dealings.

Now I like to judge art on its own as much as I can, as humans just muck things up a lot when it comes to giving their work a good name. I always wonder if David Duke came out with the best post-punk record ever, could I ever like it. It is really hard to say. There are artists that I like where I cannot deny their portfolio, but I kind of know something about them is less than great. For example, I love Oasis’ albums, but I know the guys in the band are schmucks. I feel good that their latest stuff is not good, so I do not have to feel so conflicted.

Ike Turner was a woman beater, but that man made some funky stuff. Him and his former victim made some beautiful music together. Could their inflammatory relationship be the reason for the quality of their work? There is a deeper question right there.

I’ve always looked at art from a personal standpoint, and how the individual piece affects me. Most times (especially in a museum setting), I have no idea about the artist’s background other than a few very well know folks. I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Dali’s work (and it’s convenient that the Dali Museum is 10 mins from my house). There may be some artists that due to their personal lives, I may not choose to support (Wagner would be a good example), but more often than not I don’t find myself in a situation where there is a choice.

When doing some research on the Russian Communist uprising in 1917, it struck me that a lot of the art, while having some communist undercurrents, were more focused on broader themes, such as human struggle and sacrifice, and triumph over (perceived) oppression. The art from that time had the same feel as many others from similar situations.
