So, in my opinion, it is very important to develop a strategy that can enhance the creative process trough bringing awareness to that place where our creative process begins which is the inner communication. Writing a blog enhances this inner dialog and at the same time it has a potential to build a real audience. That in itself has a great potential not only for profit but actually reducing the dependency of the artist on the “Rich Patron”. At the same time, a successful blog has a great potential for a wider recognition.

in general I say that your Web site is your portfolio; it’s the best of what you have to offer and displays your business as you want the world to see it. A blog, on the other hand, is more an ongoing conversation you have with prospects and clients. It can help you establish yourself as an expert, post information quickly, and differentiate yourself from the competition…at least right now.”

My name is Josef Ralt. I am an artist, painter, art teacher and creativity facilitator. My blog is about anything that is connected with art, visual thinking and creativity in all it's forms.It is also where i think aloud about the intriguing relationship between the normal everyday events of my life and how they evolve eventually into shapes, colors and forms on my canvass.
