Max Hayslette, Artist.

For the past few years I have been a fan of artist Max Hayslette.  To me the landscape images he creates are vivid, warm and fun interpretations of places he has explored.  They are fun to view, fun to own and fill your spirit with warmth and calm.  

In a time when economies ebb and flow, wars are raging around the world and you're just not sure what tomorrow will have in store, it is nice to have peace and serenity in one's life; to me the work of Max Hayslette provides that escape! 

Bev's Fine Art in Raleigh is a fantastic Gallery and features many of the works of Max Hayslette among dozens of other artists.  I have used Bev's Fine Art for many years for many of my clients and the selections and service they provide is excellent.

I hope you find your respite in these uncertain times, who know maybe Max can help?

City Center, Las Vegas!

This week Tim traveled back to visit the always changing and never dull city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Tim was in Vegas to attend the largest annual design conference held for the Hospitality Design market called, HD EXPO 2010 (Hospitality Design, Expo). This three day event is the benchmark for all industry professionals involved in design, products and technology for the Hospitaltiy sector, whether for a Hotel, Restaurant, Clubhouse or other public or private resort type facilities. Tim spent two days on the floor meeting with manufacturers, fellow designers, industry leaders and of course finding the newest, coolest and best products available to bring to our Clients.

Over the next month Tim will provide a weekly showcase of his best finds of the show. Lookout for a Blog Post called;

While on this trip, Tim took sometime to explore, study and photograph some of this fantasy city. The newest digs to hit the Vegas strip is the monumental City Center project. CityCenter is a 16,797,000 square feet mixed-use, massive urban complex on 76 acres located on the Las Vegas Strip. The project was started by MGM Mirage; Dubai World became a joint partner during the project's construction phase. It is the largest privately funded construction project in the history of the United States! Wow, truly a magnificent undertaking by a cast of thousands.
