The Making of Nuit Blanche

The iPad is all the hype this week, but I would like to talk about a web book.  Francis V. O'Connor  has done a great job in creating a FREE web book at www.muralinamerica.com.  He has been working on this book since 1980 and the site went live in late 2009. The book chronicles murals in the US from the early American Indian murals to today.   Enjoy this gem of the web.

Artists cannot survive today without the use of social media. Think Twitter, Facebook, linkedin, and myspace. You need to have a presence on these sites. In PR 2.0: New Media, New Tools, New Audiences Deirdre Breakenridge shows you how to use social media to get eXposed. Below is a review of Deirdre’s book PR 2.0.

Enjoy.
