I was due to go out to an annual craft fair and party today, but I feel panicked. I could go, force myself, but I’m tired and I need to go shopping, get medication and tidy up because I’m expecting a visitor tomorrow.
Then I realised that I have the freedom to say no. I don’t have to rush out, to stand in a long queue for a burger, or listen to over loud music. Being in a crowd bothers me. I usually get a headache. My friend who was coming with me has not been able to get the time off. I already feel hot and bothered. So I’ll give it a miss this time. X
If a loud crowd is not your thing then don’t be cowed, be proud and say no.
A tagline is a short, catchy phrase or memorable sentence that encapsulates the essence of a brand or product. It’s often used in advertising and marketing to convey the key benefits or message associated with the brand, helping to create brand awareness and recognition. Think of it as the brand’s verbal logo, simple, memorable, and impactful.
Key features of a tagline:
Short and memorable: Taglines should be concise and easy to recall.
Captures the brand’s essence: They should reflect the brand’s values, personality, and mission.
Used consistently: Taglines are typically used across various marketing materials to maintain a cohesive brand image.
Can be descriptive, imperative, provocative, or specific: They can highlight what the brand promises to deliver, encourage action, pose a question, or focus on a specific characteristic.
Can be a slogan: While slogans are often temporary and tied to a specific campaign, a tagline is a more consistent, long-term representation of the brand’s identity.
Well I’m not a commercial business. I don’t think I’d personally like a tagline. But Artistic Cat lover sort of fits the bill. Both of these things have been part of my life for almost all of my existence. I’m not promising anything, I’m not selling anything, and I hope what I’m saying makes sense. X
I saw this again today and I really do like it. I might buy some scraper board to do my own creations. Then if I was to photograph the I could make original artwork to turn into cards and prints. I just wish I had more energy to do it.
Photo by a friend of a tile found in the basement of the old Stoke Library. I think he said it was by Minton tiles. This is also similar to the green imp badge that the brownies have on their uniform. (Brownies are younger members of the Girl Guides movement.)
“fishscales” Artrage app, digital drawing I’ve just completed this using metallic and non metallic pens. I love this app. It feels like a truly free way of using digital methods.
What would an Imp or ogre look like? Are they related species?
I decided to doodle an idea of what one would look like. They are both characters in the Mystery Play at Penkhull Play. They will be puppets I think, and we already have them made but they might need to change how they look.
I quite enjoy drawing characters and it’s a challenge to see what comes out. I’ve also drawn the two witches and a witches assistant to help me think how they should look.
Mini paintings, abstract and flowery. When you’re not sure what to paint but you need to paint some work for our art groups little summer fayre.
Canvases this small cost £2.20 for two. So if I’m selling them and I’ve got to give 50% to the art group then I’d like to make 50 pence profit because the people coming don’t have much money. I’m glad I could get the canvases though about 1.5 inches by 2 inches. I love the challenge.
The University fine art department is squeezed in behind terraced houses. I would find this interesting and attempt to paint it as the year progresses. To have a time lapse style series of paintings. I like the architecture and the jumble of gardens that are hemmed in by buildings. It would also be interesting to take drone pictures from above. Maybe they’ll let me in as an alumni if I ask nicely?
