Charlie Chaplin<iframe width="399" height="203" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WibmcsEGLKo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">"I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor - that's not my business - I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.<br />We all want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.<br />The way of life can be free and beautiful.<br />But we have lost the way.<br />Greed has poisoned men's souls -<br />has barricaded the world with hate;<br />has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.<br />We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in:<br />machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.<br />Our knowledge has made us cynical,<br />our cleverness hard and unkind.<br />We think too much and feel too little:<br />More than machinery we need humanity;<br />More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.<br />Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.<br />The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say "Do not despair".<br />The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people , will return to the people and so long as men die [now] liberty will never perish. . .<br />Soldiers - don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, as cannon fodder.<br />Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate - only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty.<br />In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written<br />"the kingdom of God is within man "<br />- not one man, nor a group of men - but in all men - in you, the people.<br />You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let's use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.<br />Soldiers - in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"</span></div>Choleena DiTulliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635489905532451908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33167973.post-61193790706635935572011-10-14T17:59:00.003-03:002011-10-14T18:06:51.756-03:00Promotional Video<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyyNgH_KSeMGe-PkJwIQvrZuuYYCKSKilDyeMaXnZOOL0NSymZsWViVN4sz7W6A964tlLyWXDiWKwg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Choleena DiTulliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635489905532451908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33167973.post-1891977178610268462011-09-22T20:10:00.000-03:002011-09-22T15:42:16.270-03:00BazART Application: Artisan & Visual Artist<span style="font-weight: bold; "><div><span style="font-weight: bold; color:#cc0000;">Artisan 5 Images </span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"><i>(Visual Artist 5 images are below)</i></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; "><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Click on any image to enlargen.</span><br /><br /></span></span>01<br />Fish T-shirts (adult or kid sizes)<br />100% cotton; printed in Canada. 4 different sizes in 4 different colours.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rcEscvDfO-0/TOB3AHBT-nI/AAAAAAAAAFs/UMffYJevd80/s1600/adult-tee-set.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pF1XxIvEAXo/TQgwJtTj8-I/AAAAAAAABUM/HZlOkTVuR_4/s400/adult-tee-set.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550739484072735714" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 378px; " /></a><br /><br />02<br />“Fish Tank” Tops (girls/women)<br />100% cotton; printed in Canada. 3 different sizes in 2 different colours.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pF1XxIvEAXo/TUiT7DAA5VI/AAAAAAAABWw/inauCXY6URE/s1600/tanks-together.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pF1XxIvEAXo/TUiT7DAA5VI/AAAAAAAABWw/inauCXY6URE/s400/tanks-together.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568863581870548306" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px; " /></a><br /><br />03<br />Fish Greeting Cards<br />12 different designs; printed on recycled card stock; colour envelopes<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pF1XxIvEAXo/TUin7-J163I/AAAAAAAABW4/agFkyJnUirE/s1600/card-sun-fish.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pF1XxIvEAXo/TUin7-J163I/AAAAAAAABW4/agFkyJnUirE/s400/card-sun-fish.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568885587982019442" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 328px; " /></a><br /><br />04<br />Mirrors (various themes)<br />Recycled mirror and frame; hand-made paper; gold acrylic paint<br />10" x 10"<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5uAX5cLPSaw/TW8FjNbb_PI/AAAAAAAABZM/kVZv3fRw8Ks/s1600/mirror-dragonfly.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5uAX5cLPSaw/TW8FjNbb_PI/AAAAAAAABZM/kVZv3fRw8Ks/s400/mirror-dragonfly.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579684565793635570" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px; " /></a><br /><br />05<br />"Fish Plant(er)"<br />Free-hanging sculpture.

Whether you’re in your hallway, your living room, or your garden, you’ll be surrounded by colour and creativity. The title of this show also gives kudos to the Ottawa School of Art on their successful ongoing mission to put art in every nook and cranny of the city. At 330 Coventry Road, the local manager of the Canadian Tire partnered up with the OSA to promote local artists in the exit vestibule of the building. Partnerships like this are to be commended and thus the title of this show nods to their vision.Choleena DiTulliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635489905532451908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33167973.post-20366879303661339002011-07-02T17:37:00.003-03:002011-07-02T17:38:52.295-03:00This year's artist roster (me included!) for W.E.S.T. announced2011 West End Studio Tour artists announced: <br /><iframe width="399" height="227" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0RyElHSZ1tY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />Feel free to subscribe to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/WestEndStudioTour">WEST's YouTube Channel</a>.Choleena DiTulliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635489905532451908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33167973.post-34690798236340460162011-06-22T16:18:00.006-03:002011-07-12T18:39:35.016-03:00"Fish and Other Such Madness" show now on!<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">NEWS FLASH: This show recently extended to August 31, 2011!<br /></span></span><br />"Fish and Other Such Madness" features the artworks of Choleena DiTullio and Wenna Doig.

We just need to accept our truth and intend a new beginning. If we can see ourselves the way we are, that is the first step toward self-acceptance – toward stopping the self-rejection. Once we are able to accept ourselves just the way we are, everything can start changing from that point forward.”</em><br />— Don Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love<br /><br />P.S.

This year, 45 artists will be celebrated at visual arts and pottery demonstrations as well as in displays throughout the centre and spilling out onto the street. A truly all-encompassing Arts experience, the festival boasts outdoor stages and events that feature a Jazz Lounge, Culinary Arts and Performing Arts. Choleena is proud to have had her work selected for this juried show.<br /><br />Friday, June 3rd: 12-8 pm <br />Saturday, June 4th: 10 am-8 pm<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Orléans Festival</span><br />Shenkman Arts Centre <br />245 boul Centrum Blvd <br />Orléans, ON K1E 0A1 <br /><br /><a href="http://orleansfestival.ca/visualArts.php">http://orleansfestival.ca/visualArts.php<br /></a>Choleena DiTulliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635489905532451908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33167973.post-15968227418748978622011-04-13T12:18:00.018-03:002011-04-13T13:06:39.936-03:00Valley Fishing Show a promotional success<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aUszpTQDEfE/TaXEz91ahnI/AAAAAAAABak/33U_jxbds3g/s1600/IMG_1698-detail3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 107px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aUszpTQDEfE/TaXEz91ahnI/AAAAAAAABak/33U_jxbds3g/s200/IMG_1698-detail3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595094509128681074" /></a>I'm finally back at my desk after a successful weekend at the Valley Fishing & Outdoor Show. The Exhibitor list, fully booked for many weeks, had a last-minute cancellation. I had no idea that I was next in line for a booth. With only a week to get cards printed/packaged, make a prototype of "FishPlant" for orders, and assemble a booth, there was not a moment to lose. I was still painting and building minutes before the doors opened... <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NujXJ5ZC-Z0/TaXEXknffSI/AAAAAAAABaE/ZgbH4Ezmxys/s1600/IMG_1702-crop.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 335px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NujXJ5ZC-Z0/TaXEXknffSI/AAAAAAAABaE/ZgbH4Ezmxys/s400/IMG_1702-crop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595094021323062562" /></a>Thanks to my team, the fish-loving public got to feast on a healthy serving of fresh fish, Choleena-style. I featured my T-shirts, greeting cards, "FishPlants" (hand-painted wooden hanging planter which comes with 4 terra-cotta pots and a special swivel hook that looks like a fishing hook) and many original artworks. All fish-themed, of course!<br /><br />Thanks, L&M, for the loan of the coat rack on wheels. Brilliant idea! I think that I successfully turned it into a gallery wall.<br /><br />The booth at a glance:<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n6fOruKsliY/TaXEYJ4AxZI/AAAAAAAABaM/HAN3hr4qHD0/s1600/IMG_1698-crop.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n6fOruKsliY/TaXEYJ4AxZI/AAAAAAAABaM/HAN3hr4qHD0/s400/IMG_1698-crop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595094031324464530" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rLhOjx-YwJU/TaXEYrZgVPI/AAAAAAAABac/tXxqc9_FX90/s1600/IMG_1698-detail.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rLhOjx-YwJU/TaXEYrZgVPI/AAAAAAAABac/tXxqc9_FX90/s400/IMG_1698-detail.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595094040323314930" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xb03Gd9GjLw/TaXGDPsZowI/AAAAAAAABa0/AE_hzmmK1qo/s1600/IMG_1703-crop.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 340px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xb03Gd9GjLw/TaXGDPsZowI/AAAAAAAABa0/AE_hzmmK1qo/s400/IMG_1703-crop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595095871132377858" /></a><br />Close-up of tank tops (affectionately called "Fish Tank Tops"), "Fish Stick" painting, greeting cards, framed watercolours and designer mirrors:<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XTODtmIFOjo/TaXGDkRXpcI/AAAAAAAABbE/Z2Rqx4NLvmI/s1600/IMG_1705-crop.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 331px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XTODtmIFOjo/TaXGDkRXpcI/AAAAAAAABbE/Z2Rqx4NLvmI/s400/IMG_1705-crop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595095876656145858" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0QW9TywgnsY/TaXGDSvHCxI/AAAAAAAABa8/vgwSK5G5SqY/s1600/IMG_1704-crop.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 370px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0QW9TywgnsY/TaXGDSvHCxI/AAAAAAAABa8/vgwSK5G5SqY/s400/IMG_1704-crop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595095871949048594" /></a><br />Close-up on the cut-out "Sunny Fish" greeting card:<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l5shjcXKjE4/TaXEYacBpRI/AAAAAAAABaU/aEyMm4ZSIc8/s1600/IMG_1698-detail2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 351px; height: 226px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l5shjcXKjE4/TaXEYacBpRI/AAAAAAAABaU/aEyMm4ZSIc8/s400/IMG_1698-detail2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595094035770483986" /></a><br />Close-up of "Fish Plant", a hand-painted wooden hanging planter which comes with 4 terra-cotta pots and a special swivel hook that looks like a fishing hook:<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5nQeA9pe01k/TaXFz77nL2I/AAAAAAAABas/4eAT2I5JBjM/s1600/IMG_1701-crop.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5nQeA9pe01k/TaXFz77nL2I/AAAAAAAABas/4eAT2I5JBjM/s400/IMG_1701-crop.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595095608129433442" /></a>Choleena DiTulliohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635489905532451908noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33167973.post-35948087525623215162011-04-06T09:16:00.005-03:002011-04-06T09:41:05.384-03:00Booth 57 at Valley Fishing & Outdoor Show!Join me at the <a href="http://www.valleysportsmanshow.com/VFOS">Valley Fishing & Outdoor Show</a> this weekend.
