‘The Colored Sketches Collection’ or ‘Le Recueil d’Esquisses Colorées’ in its original French title, is a Collection of Colored Drawings about the reality of an authentic inner life. It also contains 7 Poetic Texts on the same subjects, and others. We have conducted an interview with the author AKA Louis. How does your name 'AKA Louis' differentiate and affects you as a writer, poet, and illustrator? ‘AKA Louis’ is not a name I have chosen, it’s a name that was given or proposed to me After I’ve asked some ideas about a pen name… Progressively, I’ve found other references than the basic ones which were proposed with the name. ‘AKA Louis’ is a reference to the Japanese words ‘AKA’ and ‘AKARUI’ which mean ‘red’ and ‘lightness’ or ‘brightness’… In a way, it can mean ‘shinning red’… Through history, language, and culture of original people, ‘AKA’ is linked to the idea of what is original, essential, vital, but also to the reality of what is rejected or marginal. In old Turk...

Sarah graduated with a degree in physics in 2010, then went on to study creative writing. She has since published the rom-com drama novel, Holly Blossums , and the crime-drama thriller novel, Black Widow . When she’s not writing, Sarah works in retail and enjoys creative hobbies such as painting. Who is the most interesting character in the book you co-wrote with Will Coggins? Detective Jamison is the most interesting character because he sees the world for what it is - unfair. He’s not afraid to do what’s necessary to balance the scales of justice, even if that means planting evidence. To me, what makes him really interesting is, beneath his tough exterior lays a deep, feeling human being who wants to change. He may seem to lack a moral compass, but his heart is in the right place. We all wish we could take the law into our own hands when we’ve been a victim of crime. Jamison follows through with that wish, but his latest case makes him question whether he’s doing the ri...

As a successful furniture/furnishings designer and CEO/founder of EcoChic Lifestyles, I’ve taken what started as a dream grow into a massive company. It’s a requirement to possess the artistic vision and entrepreneurial spirit in order to create your own business in this industry but the most overlooked aspect is the psychology of what you do in your business practices. The manner in which you direct your efforts can be just as important as having a great product. It was very important to me that the products I created for EcoChic Lifestyles were environmentally responsible. The wood we use is reclaimed from boats in Southeast Asia that are no longer seaworthy. The fishermen and their families have a tradition of painting these boats very bright colors and they are made by craftsmen with great integrity. Even though the boats couldn’t be used for fishing, I found a way to use the wood, help the economy of the region, and create something that brightens any space that it occupi...

Audi’s “Projecting Greatness” campaign produced a stunning commercial spot recognized with the Silver Award in 2017’s Advertising and Design CCA. In truth, the story behind the making of this spot and them professionals who created it would likely make a thrilling film itself. A team of creative experts utilizing ground breaking technology in a precarious environment amidst sub-zero temperatures; it sounds as if Tom Cruise should be among them, speeding on a snowmobile. With all respect to Mr. Cruise, Cinematographer Byron Kopman was the action star who captured the amazing visuals which led to the award-winning status of this production. His work and that of the entire team displayed a new direction for the industry as well as stunning viewing for Audi and consumers. The journey that began with the brilliance of Sherpas Films and director Dave Mossop resulted in a dazzling commercial spot which is a testament to the artists in this industry. In an era of CGI ubiquity, this pr...

There’s a great deal more to the evolution of filmmaking than just the implementation of CGI or technological advancements. In the same way that these facets advance, there’s also a progression of the stories that filmmakers are able to present based on the direction of society as well as what prior generations of storytellers have presented. This culminates in more intricate and multifaceted plots and characters. Actress and producer Nicole Fahel has some diverse influences in her film Summer with Alicia but upon investigation they make complete sense. This film about four friends has girl-crush/same sex qualities to it but it’s not a film about lesbianism. While this may have been a focus in films such as Monster (Charlize Theron’s Oscar Award Winning performance for Best Actress, as prostitute turned serial killer Aileen Wuornos) and the Wachowski Brothers (responsible for the multiple Oscar winning Matrix trilogy among others) Bound with Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon, the ch...
