Greetings!
The importance of being creative.
I've built my art career around creativity. I'm not referring to the creativity of my art but more about how I approach things. I'm a strong believer that if you do what everyone else has done, you will have what everyone else has. I believe that anyone can be an artist. Anyone can see and visualize something great.
For every project I work on, I always ask myself how can this be different? How can this be different enough that it will stand out from the crowd? I had the pleasure to welcome an unknown guest in my studio last month and we started talking about a possible project. One thing led to the other, and I've proposed something to him that no one else is doing in this market. His eyes lit up like a young kid on Christmas morning. I'll reveal more about this project next month but the point here is that creativity should be at the base of everything you do. Without it, you're just like anyone else. You'll just blend in the crowd. Maybe that's what you want and that's totally ok too.
Talking about being creative, my great friend and graphic designer magician Jocelyne Saulnier, went the extra mile for her Christmas gift this year. Jocelyne is the owner of Joce Creative and she's the one who designed my logo earlier this year. I strongly reccommend her services if you need some graphic design work. Anyways, her gift started with these words: OMG I can't believe another supplier gave us chocolate for Christmas. But wait...This isn't just any chocolate... HARK its BARK. Click HERE to see what they did for their clients. Now that's creative!! I especially love her tags where it says Calories: Lets not go there. It's genius!
As another year come upon us, lets get out and BE CREATIVE!! Happy holidays everyone!! Thank you so much for your support!
Sincerely,
Matt |
Calendars
My 2012 calendars are here and they look great. I had sold out the first batch but I received more this week. There's only a limited number of calendars left so drop me an email if you want one. The calendars are $20 (free regular shipping for my out of town friends). It's a full calendar (8.5x11 page) with various shots of my work. The calendars also includes all the major holidays (US & Canada).

Last Minute Christmas Gift?
 How often do you get to keep a gift certificate ... forever? Matt LeBlanc Art offers gift certificates uniquely designed for your special occasion. All gift certificates are printed on a full color high quality postcard, which contains a reproduction of one of Matt's painting on one side and your friend's information on the other side. The beauty of this is that your friend gets to keep the gift certificate. Since the card is a reproduction, it can actually be framed and hung in a home. This is a nice added touch to your typical gift certificate. The gift certificates come in any amount that you choose so you can either get one by yourself or gather up a group of friends in order to buy a bigger gift |
