​Flarence knows that Genies are supposed to help their masters by granting wishes, but he’s never been comfortable taking orders. To him, pummeling bad guys with magically enhanced weaponry feels like a much better way to use his powers.

Soleil is a humble man who tries to lead a passive lifestyle. In times of peace or times of war, he can be found cleaning his café or singing along with rock ‘n roll tunes while tending to his houseplants.
Darren, Soleil, and Flarence will have to work together and step outside their comfort zones when a rogue Genie and a hot-headed police officer threaten the lives of their loved ones. Flarence will be challenged to work with a criminal, ​

Verde Gallery - My journey as an Art gallery owner - Art Tucker

Verde Gallery- Art Tucker
verde Gallery
Quite a few years ago I had the opportunity and honor to open an art gallery inChampaign, Illinois. It was a wonderful space that also included a coffee shop. Yes, art and coffee for me are a perfect combination! 
Verde started as a gallery that only featured local artists. Over the years it expanded to featuring artists near and far. 

While I too am an artist I have a deep appreciation for the work of others. In fact I didn't show my own work for the first two years of the gallery. 

The space was very popular and eventually I was asked to include  other  types of events. These included musical performances, dance events, and presentations related to the University of Illinois.
ARTIST PETER BODNAR
Artist Peter Bodnar
At one point well known artist Artist Peter Bodnar came to me and suggested that I go to New Mexico to meet and consider including the the work of the  Native American artists who were his friends. I did! It was an enlightening experience. I ended up going back and forth from Illinois to New Mexico many times. The work from the artists were truly impressive. and  completely unknown to the local residents of Campaign. The appreciation was wonderful to see! 

Fortunately as time went by I was able to include Hispanic artists from the US. They too were successful with my clientele. The mutual appreciation was evident!We ended up creating the first Day of the Dead event and gallery show in Champaign.
.
My visits toNew Mexico eventually led to me moving to Santa Fe.Yep I was bitten by the Santa Fe bug.
As I became acquainted with Santa Fe and and other areas of New Mexico it was clear that creativity was flowing like a river throughout the state.
While I no longer own a gallery I do promote and assist artists with marketing and publicity and also feature artists I work with rifer here on this website. I have expanded the scope to include artists from around the world.

Michael R. French has authored 23 published titles, including fiction, biographies, adaptations, art criticism and children’s  books, over a 30-year career.  French’s work has been warmly reviewed in the New York Times and been honored with several literary prizes. ​
His first love, adult and young adult fiction, tackles diverse subjects from the world of horse racing to politics, focusing on characters as much as a page-turning plot.  His novel, Abingdon's, was a bestseller and a Literary Guild Alternate Selection. His young adult novel, Pursuit, was awarded the California Young Reader Medal.  He has also co-written two screenplays for Amazon Prime.

Receiving his Bachelor of Arts in English from Stanford University, he focused on creative writing and studied under Wallace Stegner. He received a Master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University.  He later served in the United States Army before marrying Patricia Goodkind, an educator and entrepreneur, and starting a family. Working under his wife, Patricia, ten years ago they created a non-profit foundation, Dollar4Schools, which continues  helping support  Santa Fe public schools and its  teachers.  

An avid trekker and traveler to developing countries, French loves diving and snorkeling, and for the last decade began studying  endangered marine and land mammals.   He believes climate change is currently the world’s greatest long-term problem.

He and  Patricia divide their time between Santa Barbara, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Guest Post

Thanks to the efforts of people at Artotems I had a chance to be interviewed about the book and my experience writing it. Here is the link to find information on the date/time and to get tickets:
jeancocteaucinema.com/event/virtual-author-event-hugh-fritz/?instance_id=2133

I'm very thankful for a friend in town who happened to have a camera and editing software. 
Due to enforced shut downs, the bookstore is keeping everything virtual so instead of going in front of a crowd I printed off a set of emailed questions and was recorded responding to them. Public speaking is not one of my strengths so avoiding being in front of people made the event somewhat less nerve wracking. However, I'm not accustomed to talking about anything for an hour and knowing this was going to be seen by an audience was enough to bring some anxiety. I'm happy with how the video turned out!

"Articles of Faith"by Ted Karpf

9/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Born out of his poet’s soul and a real talent for written communication, Articles of Faith is so much more than a well-constructed legacy for his deeply-loved family. It is excellent reading for all who are called into vocation only to discover that Church must never be confused with our God of love. Especially with Ted’s potent mix of HIV/AIDS activist, gay and divorcee. I was particularly touched and encouraged to learn that we share the battle to live the lessons we teach. Not least, Ted and his ex-wife Kaye’s story of mutual love, respect and dignity is a beacon for the many good Christian couples caught in the same web woven with the threads of human sexuality denied.

Books - A respite in TTroubling times

In these times of "Social Distancing" and staying at home contact with others is limited in many ways.
​Isolation has its problems for most people. 


As we work with lots of authors we are given opportunities to meet the amazing characters both fictional and real that they introduce in their books. Reading is a great way to step out of your current circumstances and explore new worlds.

As Ernest Hemingway said, "There is no friend as loyal as a book."


Thank you to all our author clients! You make our world a far more interesting place!

NM Book Association - Events and Newsletter

9/2/2019

0 Comments

 
At Artotems Co. we have a passion for working with non-profit organizations and helping them flourish. One of the non-profits that we have been working with is the New Mexico Book Association (NMBA). NMBA aims to bring together enthusiastic people who enjoy writing or producing books. The NMBA was founded in 1994 as a 501(c)(6) organization and soon became a pioneer among statewide book publishing groups.

​We do a wide range of work with the NMBA, ranging from managing their finances and membership, to planning and organizing events and workshops. We manage their website, where we make sure there is always useful and current information for their members. Along with this, each month we invite the members to send us news and information on their upcoming events that we compile into a newsletter and send out to all members.

The newsletters are a great way to keep members engaged and update them on the information from the most recent networking lunch meeting.

This year we helped plan the 25th Anniversary Gala hosted at the Wonder Institute, which brought together members who have been in the association from the start with even the newest members. It can sometimes be a challenge to coordinate all the moving parts that go into an event, but it is always rewarding to see it all come together. 60 members gathered and enjoyed an evening that honored winners of the Southwest Book Design Awards.

Flutist Magela Herrera - Website & Logo

8/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Recently we worked with a very talented client, Magela Herrera. Magela is a flutist, singer, and songwriter from Cuba. We met Magela through our work and friendship with the Entreflamenco dance company that she performs with here in Santa Fe. Magela approached us wanting to redesign her website and create a new, updated logo for herself. She had been managing her own website but as she started producing more music and performing more often, she realized that she needed a little help. Her goal for the website was to showcase her newly released album, and to promote her upcoming shows and music. With these things in mind, we designed a website that plays with the contrast between bright, rich colors and dark backgrounds. This color-blocked design makes elements like photos and text stand out, while keeping a playful feeling to the website. We also focused on incorporating music players such as Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud on the site so that visitors could listen to her music directly from her home page. We felt that other small elements like an updated list of her upcoming events and performances, and a section that highlights all her recent press and media exposure would help promote her music as well.

​Along with the website, Magela wanted us to create a logo that incorporated her signature and musical elements, like her flute. We brought in the musical elements by replacing the ‘G’ in her name with a treble clef and underlined her name with an abstract flute. We made sure that the logo incorporated a color palette that Magela had selected to represent her vibrancy and style. We created several versions to make sure that the logo would flow and be seen on various backgrounds, whether dark, busy, or light.

We had a lot of fun working on this project! Thank you, Magela, for trusting us in this process!

Estoy muy agradecida con el trabajo que Mari Angulo y Artotems Co hicieron con mi página web. Ha sido muy fácil la comunicación desde el primer momento, Supieron como llegar a lo que yo quería, en especial con la creación de mi logo, Yo no tuve una idea clara en un principio de lo que quería y Mari Ángulo tuvo la paciencia y la creatividad correcta para encontrar ese logo específico que quería. Altamente recomiendo esta compañía para cualquier trabajo de mercadeo y de miedo social. Trabajan rápido y de manera muy efectiva.

-Magela Herrera

I am very grateful of the work that Mari Angulo and Artotems Co did with my website. From the start, communication has been very easy,. They knew how to arrive at what I envisioned, especially with the creation of my logo. At first, I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted, and Mari Angulo had the patience and creativity to arrive at that particular logo I wanted. I highly recommend this company for any work in marketing or social medium. They work quickly and effectively.
