Fervent

The newest painting in my 11" x 14" sketchbook I call "Fervent"

11″ x 14″ Mixed media on paper My favorite painting technique lately is with a knife or with the edge of a credit card. I’m seeing depth and texture, that fractal effect that seems intentional, yet it’s still abstract. I looked up the definition of Fervent; “having or displaying a passionate intensity.” I would say yes, that is this…

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Painting Company for Hotel Wall Painting

In today's competitive hospitality industry, creating a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment for guests is paramount. One aspect that significantly contributes to the overall ambiance of a hotel is its interior and exterior aesthetics. When it comes to hotel wall painting, many hoteliers may contemplate the idea of hiring a professional painting company. In this article, we will explore the numerous benefits that come with hiring a professional painting company for hotel wall painting, particularly in the context of San Diego.

Introduction

The appearance of a hotel plays a vital role in attracting and retaining guests. Hotel painting is not just about adding a fresh coat of paint; it's about creating an ambiance that complements the overall theme of the property. Let's delve into the benefits of entrusting this task to a professional painting company.

Quality Craftsmanship

Professional painting companies have experienced painters who are skilled in their craft. They possess the knowledge and expertise to deliver flawless and high-quality results. Their attention to detail ensures that every nook and cranny of your hotel's interior and exterior walls is painted to perfection.

Time Efficiency

Time is of the essence in the hotel industry. Professional painters work efficiently to complete the project within the stipulated timeframe. This means minimal disruptions to your hotel's daily operations and a quicker turnaround for your wall painting project.

Cost-Effective Solutions

While it may seem like a cost-saving measure to handle painting in-house, professional painting companies often provide cost-effective solutions. They have access to bulk paint discounts and can advise on the most durable and cost-efficient options for your hotel.

Color Consultation and Expertise

Choosing the right color palette can be a daunting task. Professional painters can provide valuable insights and even offer color consultation services. They know how to select colors that enhance the ambiance and appeal of your hotel.

Enhanced Durability

Professional painters use high-quality paints and techniques that ensure the longevity of the paint job. This means fewer touch-ups and maintenance costs in the long run.

Compliance with Regulations

In San Diego, and many other places, there are regulations and codes that must be adhered to when it comes to painting. Professional painting companies are well-versed in these regulations and will ensure your hotel's painting project complies with all local requirements.

Aesthetically Pleasing Results

Professional painters are artists in their own right. They can transform your hotel's walls into stunning works of art, creating an ambiance that leaves a lasting impression on your guests.

Increased Property Value

One of the significant advantages of hiring a professional Painter in San Diego for your hotel is the potential increase in property value. San Diego's real estate market values well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing properties. By investing in the services of a reputable painting company, you not only enhance your hotel's appearance but also its market value, making it more attractive to potential buyers or investors.

Client Satisfaction

Happy guests are repeat guests. A freshly painted and aesthetically pleasing hotel environment enhances the overall guest experience, leading to higher client satisfaction rates.

Minimal Disruptions

Professional painters are experts in minimizing disruptions during the painting process. They can work during off-peak hours, ensuring that your guests are not inconvenienced.

Professional Equipment and Materials

Professional painting companies come equipped with the latest tools and materials necessary for a flawless paint job. This guarantees a superior finish that stands the test of time.

Environmental Considerations

Many professional painting companies now offer environmentally friendly paint options. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also aligns with the growing demand for eco-conscious accommodations.

Maintenance and Warranty

Most professional painting companies offer warranties for their work. This provides peace of mind, knowing that any issues that arise will be promptly addressed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, hiring a professional painting company for hotel wall painting is a wise investment. It ensures quality craftsmanship, saves time, and enhances the overall aesthetics of your property. Moreover, it contributes to guest satisfaction and can increase your hotel's value.

Emil Ferris’s long-awaited “My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two”

NEXT WEEKEND (June 7–9), I'm in AMHERST, NEW YORK to keynote the 25th Annual Media Ecology Association Convention and accept the Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity.

Seven years ago, I was absolutely floored by My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, a wildly original, stunningly gorgeous, haunting and brilliant debut graphic novel from Emil Ferris. Every single thing about this book was amazing:

https://memex.craphound.com/2017/06/20/my-favorite-thing-is-monsters-a-haunting-diary-of-a-young-girl-as-a-dazzling-graphic-novel/

The more I found out about the book, the more amazed I became. I met Ferris at that summer's San Diego Comic Con, where I learned that she had drawn it over a while recovering from paralysis of her right – dominant – hand after a West Nile Virus infection. Each meticulously drawn and cross-hatched page had taken days of work with a pen duct-taped to her hand, a project of seven years.

The wild backstory of the book's creation was matched with a wild production story: first, Ferris's initial publisher bailed on her because the book was too long; then her new publisher's first shipment of the book was seized by the South Korean state bank, from the Panama Canal, when the shipper went bankrupt and its creditors held all its cargo to ransom.

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters told the story of Karen Reyes, a 10 year old, monster-obsessed queer girl in 1968 Chicago who lives with her working-class single mother and her older brother, Deeze, in an apartment house full of mysterious, haunted adults. There's the landlord – a gangster and his girlfriend – the one-eyed ventriloquist, and the beautiful Holocaust survivor and her jazz-drummer husband.

Karen narrates and draws the story, depicting herself as a werewolf in a detective's trenchcoat and fedora, as she tries to unravel the secrets kept by the grownups around her. Karen's life is filled with mysteries, from the identity of her father (her brother, a talented illustrator, has removed him from all the family photos and redrawn him as the Invisible Man) to the purpose of a mysterious locked door in the building's cellar.

But the most pressing mystery of all is the death of her upstairs neighbor, the beautiful Annika Silverberg, a troubled Holocaust survivor whose alleged suicide just doesn't add up, and Karen – who loved and worshiped Annika – is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Karen is tormented by the adults in her life keeping too much from her – and by their failure to shield her from life's hardest truths. The flip side of Karen's frustration with adult secrecy is her exposure to adult activity she's too young to understand. From Annika's cassette-taped oral history of her girlhood in an Weimar brothel and her escape from a Nazi concentration camp, to the sex workers she sees turning tricks in cars and alleys in her neighborhood, to the horrors of the Vietnam war, Karen's struggle to understand is characterized by too much information, and too little.

Ferris's storytelling style is dazzling, and it's matched and exceeded by her illustration style, which is grounded in the classic horror comics of the 1950s and 1960s. Characters in Karen's life – including Karen herself – are sometimes depicted in the EC horror style, and that same sinister darkness crowds around the edges of her depictions of real-world Chicago.

These monster-comic throwbacks are absolute catnip for me. I, too, was a monster-obsessed kid, and spent endless hours watching, drawing, and dreaming about this kind of monster.

But Ferris isn't just a monster-obsessive; she's also a formally trained fine artist, and she infuses her love of great painters into Deeze, Karen's womanizing petty criminal of an older brother. Deeze and Karen's visits to the Art Institute of Chicago are commemorated with loving recreations of famous paintings, which are skillfully connected to pulp monster art with a combination of Deeze's commentary and Ferris's meticulous pen-strokes.

Seven years ago, Book One of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters absolutely floored me, and I early anticipated Book Two, which was meant to conclude the story, picking up from Book One's cliff-hanger ending. Originally, that second volume was scheduled for just a few months after Book One's publication (the original manuscript for Book One ran to 700 pages, and the book had been chopped down for publication, with the intention of concluding the story in another volume).

But the book was mysteriously delayed, and then delayed again. Months stretched into years. Stranger rumors swirled about the second volume's status, compounded by the bizarre misfortunes that had befallen book one. Last winter, Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston published an article detailing a messy lawsuit between Ferris and her publishers, Fantagraphics:

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/fantagraphics-sued-emil-ferris-over-my-favorite-thing-is-monsters/

The filings in that case go some ways toward resolve the mystery of Book Two's delay, though the contradictory claims from Ferris and her publisher are harder to sort through than the mysteries at the heart of Monsters. The one sure thing is that writer and publisher eventually settled, paving the way for the publication of the very long-awaited Book Two:

https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/my-favorite-thing-is-monsters-book-two

Book Two picks up from Book One's cliffhanger and then rockets forward. Everything brilliant about One is even better in Two – the illustrations more lush, the fine art analysis more pointed and brilliant, the storytelling more assured and propulsive, the shocks and violence more outrageous, the characters more lovable, complex and grotesque.

Everything about Two is more. The background radiation of the Vietnam War in One takes center stage with Deeze's machinations to beat the draft, and Deeze and Karen being ensnared in the Chicago Police Riots of '68. The allegories, analysis and reproductions of classical art get more pointed, grotesque and lavish. Annika's Nazi concentration camp horrors are more explicit and more explicitly connected to Karen's life. The queerness of the story takes center stage, both through Karen's first love and the introduction of a queer nightclub. The characters are more vivid, as is the racial injustice and the corruption of the adult world.

I've been staring at the spine of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book One on my bookshelf for seven years. Partly, that's because the book is such a gorgeous thing, truly one of the great publishing packages of the century. But mostly, it's because I couldn't let go of Ferris's story, her characters, and her stupendous art.

After seven years, it would have been hard for Book Two to live up to all that anticipation, but goddammit if Ferris didn't manage to meet and exceed everything I could have hoped for in a conclusion.

There's a lot of people on my Christmas list who'll be getting both volumes of Monsters this year – and that number will only go up if Fantagraphics does some kind of slipcased two-volume set.

In the meantime, we've got more Ferris to look forward to. Last April, she announced that she had sold a prequel to Monsters and a new standalone two-volume noir murder series to Pantheon Books:

Xen is world renowned critically acclaimed Painter/Artist based in his hometown of Mount Komorebi.

Very well known amongst his peers in the artist world especially one he was especially fond of and close to, the late Diego Lobo. He was absolutely gutted when he found out his dear friend had passed away and had been staying in his apartment in San Myshuno where his wife DA Jillian Feng and their daughter Dai Li still reside. He’d been there since finding out about his passing and was really taking the news hard. Well the news of his late friend stealing his art for years *gasp*

Xen was raised in a low income family of 5. His mother, father and 2 older sisters. He comes from a family of property owners. His first job was actually cleaning in one of the units his father owned when he was just 12 years old. He will never forget where he started to get where he is now.

He was always extremely gifted in the arts. He discovered his talent and love for painting at a young age. Little did he know that passion would get him a full ride to Mt. Komo University graduating Summa Cum Laude with a distinguished degree in Arts.

Now presently at age 30, he is an acclaimed artist known for his work and makes millions every year off it and critiquing other pieces as well.

He lives a really private and quiet life. He has a great love for wellness and includes that in his life daily. Most of all though, he most proud of being a father to his daughter Dai Li.

She’s honestly his whole personality ♥️
