Halloween

Free Art Friday: Art Treats

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on October 30, 2015 Respond

Art Treats by Stephanie Galloway

The art alternative to candy is a healthier way to give on Halloween. People that celebrate Halloween usually give or receive candy but there are other options too. How about sharing a Art Treat by Stephanie Gallowaypicture you painted or a drawing you did? That is the spirit of Free Art Friday.

By making the choice to give art your gift stands out to someone among the large amounts of candy they will be getting that day. Something that will last long after the last of the sweets has been eaten. Art won’t give you cavities and it might even brighten your smile. So when those little goblins come around looking for treats, give them some art, I will on Free Art Friday Albuquerque! 

So give the treat of art for Halloween instead. ☺

Weirdlys World: the Awakener v Frankenstein

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on October 27, 2014 Respond

Frankenstein vs the Awakener

Boris Karloff

With this week being Halloween I would like to talk about Frankenstein. One of my favorite books and movies. Written by Mary Shelley between the age of 19 and 20 which is unbelievable. Later adapted to film by a not much older James Whale. Who gave Frankenstein’s Monster his flat head. An amazing design choice. Again mixing organics with a hard geometric plane makes for a striking image. Thats in part how I designed the Awakener. Both are synthetic creatures brought into existence by their creators. And both asking the question why? Why did you make me? Why do I exist? And later, No! I will not do as I’m told!

The FRANKENSTEIN Monster  vs The AWAKENER

The Frankenstien Monster made the decision to destroy those around him. The Awakener made the decision to procreate. Both decisions threatened the culture in which they were rooted. So monsters they become. The Frankenstein Monster was wronged by being made such a wretch. Making him incapable of forming relationships. Out of revenge he destroyed his creators relationships. I have nothing so shall you. The Awakener just wants something it can relate to as well. Which threatens those around it. Both are tragic. Both have our sympathies. I find that interesting because the monsters almost become the heroes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on October 26, 2014 Respond

Check out these Jack-o-lanterns from Food Revolution Community: Oranges with fresh fruit inside! As parents, we want the healthiest options for our kids  everyday. On Halloween, we need to juggle our desire for a balanced diet for our children, with their desire for sweets! After a quick web-search here are some options:

  • Dark Chocolate is rich in Anti-Oxidants!
  • Chocolate dipped figs are rich in nutrition!
  • Soy Treats are full of protien!
  • Honey and/or sesame candy contain only 7 grams of sugar*
  • Pretzel Snacks!
