Streamposium Set to Launch in April

admin — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:39:16 +0000

JanEric Arts prepares to launch a breakaway website called Streamposium. A virtual 1,000 seat lecture hall that can deliver live video-based symposiums, seminars and training classes to online audiences. This virtual lecture hall has a high bandwidth video feed with professional audio and lighting. No cheap webcams or podcast microphones here. This new professional streaming service has quickly outgrown the JanEric Arts website and has need of its own home on the web. Hence Streamposium is born. Its name derived from combining Streaming Media and Symposium into one word. The goal of Streamposium is to host live interactive online events where content can be delivered live to as many as 1,000 people while allowing the attendees to participate live and in real time via an embedded chat module. Do you have a subject you’d like to get out to the masses, then let Streamposium be your virtual lecture hall.

This is an ongoing project between Amy Booth and Eric Willison. This project is a collaboration of online sales, promotion and marketing of my Spirit Animal Project. I’ve been designing these images these spirit animal inspired designs in illustrator, and Amy has been doing the production design work needed to comply with several marketing campaigns. The Gecko is one of my spirit animals I discovered while on a Shamanic journey at a meditation retreat. I’ve been drawing this design in some form or another for nearly all my life.

JanEric Arts launches a new private video streaming service for its clients. On a joint project with our client Monavé and Eastbay Media, JanEric Arts launches its own private video stream more robust than any other local service in Baltimore. No shady fly-by-night services from half way around the world, no crazy ads nor small pixelated screen sizes. Just high-bandwidth video streamed to as many viewers as you want, when you want (24-7), on simple affordable terms. Our studio space assures a solid stream with professional studio lighting and audio equipment with access to a 50 seat performance theater courtesy of the Hamilton Arts Collective. We can even stream on location depending on signal strength and Bandwidth.

Hand crafted and casted hearts bracelet.

A new clint always means cool new stuff to photograph. I’ve started a collaboration to document the jewelry of Steve Page a well respected area jeweler and member of the Baltimore Gem Cutters Guild. This image is from his hand crafted & casted silver bracelet line and it falls in line with Valentines day. I photographed this hearts bracelet along with a few other pieces I plan on uploading to the blog galleries in the coming days. It’s very heavy with a fantastic magnetic clasp. No skimping on the precious metals here. Click on image for an enlarged view.

Wild Ponies of Assateague (Click to enlarge)

This is a film transfer worked up in photoshop from a Nikon CoolScan. This image is special to me because I love camping on Assateague Island. As I remember, it was the morning after an early winter storm and the ponies had found their way onto the beach and they were enduring the crisp morning breeze. That’s when the older pony looked up at me. She had obviously endured many storms. I could see it in her eyes.

Tibetan Temple Lock

Temple Lock

These handcrafted locks are very popular among the new-age set. Temple locks are supposedly used on temple and shrine gates in Tibet. Then, the locks are sold as a shrine artifact to raise money for the shrine. The Deity represented on this temple lock is of the Goddess Tara. So this lock should’ve come from a temple or shine dedicated to Tara. The lock is said to be magically endowed with the power of that Deity for it is truly a shrine artifact. Photographed on black Low-Key background at f32 with a 2 second exposure.

Egyptian Styled Spiral Bracelets

Egyptian styled spiral link chain bracelets

Janice Pumphrey created these Copper, Brass and anodized wire bracelets fashioned after an ancient Egyptian design. The links are interlocked together by the spirals to create the chain bracelet. With the cost of silver and gold skyrocketing, semiprecious metals are becoming all the vogue among jewelry makers. Especially on prototype designs like these when the artist is exploring new design ideas to bring into production. Photographed at 200 a.s.a. at f-32 with a 2 second exposure on black velvet presentation pillows under a light tent with 3 studio lights.
