The people have spoken!

Many people requested to have the singlePAGERS themes available to do with them as they (the people) pleased. Took me a while but I finally acquiesced to The People’s request. All singlePAGERS themes will be available to use free of charge as usual on the site and will also be available for sale over at themESC

singlePAGER & themESC working together

The current singlePAGERS themes are now available for sale at themESC. All future themes will also be made available there. You will still be able to use your hosted singlePAGERS account for free but if you want more freedom to chop up the theme and implement it differently, head on over to themESC and grab the theme.

In addition to the singlePAGERS themes, there are a variety of other related, fresh themes available at themESC.

Read all about it in the latest singlePAGERS newsletter.

Commercial vs Fine. Art, that is.

Joe Nyaggah — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:10:56 +0000

The difference between commercial art and fine art is also the difference between starvation and survival, I think. If an artist, led by sensibilities and convictions that don’t allow him to produce works that are mainstream or appreciated by the masses – which would mean great sales and therefore survival – chooses instead to produce works that are only appreciated by a select, eccentric few and not executed on demand/ patronage but on a whim, then – if my long-windedness allows me to get to the point – that person is a fine artist.

On the contrary, a commercial artist executes work that his art director has directed him to, or if independent, work that his freelance endeavors have yielded for him, work that will eventually appear on billboards, in periodicals and other printed texts and media, on apparel etc. He is guaranteed a sale, and an easy sale at that.

Of course both kinds of artists have that intrinsic drive to create but I think the one that chooses to have job security is smarter than the one who won’t relent to societal, industry and/ or mainstream requests and will therefore starve. Hunger builds character, yes, but money builds so much more. Houses, for instance, that you and your extended family can live in.

That’s the difference.

And…..I’m back!
