THANK YOU!

Well, now that the dust (or snow in this case) has cleared, and the f/action launch party is now over... we at f/action would like to thank those of you who made the effort to come out and support our group! It's no fun navigating the first blizzard of the year, but some of you were real troupers... and we even had one guest drive all the way from Kenora for the show!

Thank you to all of you who came out. We can't say it enough. We really appreciate your presence and your support!

For those of you who are wondering - we did achieve our goals with the show! Despite the weather we still more than met our attendance goal and with a slight profit after expenses, we were able to fund our new website (http://www.fslashaction.com/) including set-up and hosting for one year, postage to send art to Calgary for the fundraising benefit for a Canadian journalist & photographer being held hostage in Somalia for a $1 million ransom, and finally the deposit for the rental of our next gallery exhibition in June 2010!

That's all we were hoping for - and so we thank you!

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SOON!

PS. You made us feel this great...

My First Poster!

I don't know why writing that reminded me of "My Pet Monster", but it did. Maybe because I was a kid in the 80's... or maybe because when you are supposed to design a poster from scratch and you're looking at the big white photoshop canvas... it really does feel like a monster of a job!

Well, having no (and I mean zero) design experience, this was a daunting task. How do you make something eye-catching, interesting and informative... from scratch?! We knew that we wanted to include one image per artist - and that was it. So this is what I came up with:

I would LOVE get get some feedback (good, bad, super bad...!) on this, my first poster. Anyone with any design experience - lay it on me... I can take it! Even if you don't have a hot clue about design, let me know what you think! This won't be the last f/action poster... so we might as well get some pointers now!
