I'm way way way too busy this week. The only thing I'm really looking forward to is the return of Grey's Anatomy. I've gotta look forward to something, ridiculous or not, right?
I'm sorry I've been absent for the past couple days. I found out that a good friend of my family, Jo, has heart failure among other things. She's not supposed to live much longer. Jo is one of the most optimistic people I've met in my entire life. Such a sweet lady. My mom, aunt, and especially grandma have been total wrecks. We're all going to see her some time very soon to... say our goodbye's, I guess. Very sad.

Rwanda’s private sector players are optimistic of business and investment opportunities that will come with Rwanda hosting the upcoming Commonwealth Business Forum (CBF) that will take place during this year’s Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting (CHOGM 2020).
This was revealed today in a breakfast meeting organized by RDB (Rwanda Development Board) and the Private Sector Federation (PSF) to engage members of the private sector on the opportunities that they stand to take advantage of by participating at the CBF.
CBF will bring together between 1,000 to 1,200 business and government leaders from all Commonwealth countries for a dialogue on practical ways to enhance trade and investment.
The forum will be structured around plenary sessions and interactive workshops over three days, and will also facilitate B2G and B2B discussions at the very highest levels, addressing key themes that affect the 54 diverse Commonwealth member nations.
Speaking while making her remarks, Clare Akamanzi, the RDB Chief Executive Officer said:
“I have every confidence that you agree with me that CBF 2020 presents a unique platform for us to market Rwanda as the best destination for investments. Indeed, we look forward to the private sector signing deals and partnerships on projects that will contribute to the sustainable economic growth of our country through profits, jobs, and increasing Rwanda’s exports. Just to give you some context, over 2.4 billion people live within the Commonwealth Marketplace, and this year will see US$ 1 trillion worth of trade realised within the Commonwealth for the very first time. This means that we have a limitless market for our Made in Rwanda products and services and there shouldn’t be reason not to export more quantities to these countries.”
Robert Bapfakulera, the PSF Chairman said:
“It is important for us to ensure that the CBF leaves a lasting and positive legacy, with Rwanda at the centre of Commonwealth trade for its two years as Chair-in Office. To achieve this, the private sector must be fully prepared to optimise the Commonwealth trade opportunity-for business, investment and trade. CBF is an extremely unique platform for us to meet strategic partners and do great business.”
CHOGM 2020 will take place in Kigali from 22nd to 28thJune and will have four main forums which are Commonwealth Business, People’s, Women and Youth forums.
A flashback to more optimistic times.... 43316 carries temporary Virgin Trains East Coast branding, applied over the grey Department of Transport operated East Coast.
Virgin Trains East Coast and their partner Stagecoach lost their franchise for this route on 16th May 2018, after failing to earn enough revenue to be viable. A sense of deja vu?!
The last time this route had to be taken back into public ownership was 2009, when National Express had to 'hand back the keys'.
The new 'temporary' franchise is to be known as LNER, and expected to last for up to two years, by when bids for a new private franchise will have been accepted.
Wonder what the LNER livery is going to be, apple green maybe?

Graffiti on the HaBima theater front wall, in the memory of the Israeli comics artist Dudu Geva, who passed away on 15/02/05
At the Birmingham Social Media Cafe on October 29th 2010, we asked people what they were optimistic about.
It's a spin-off from newoptimists.com. We asked scientists 'what are you optimistic about?' — and their answers are now in a brilliant book.

Reporters took to the streets of cities in South Sudan, Central African Republic and Afghanistan to ask people what the impact of the coronavirus pandemic is on their lives.
Name: Mohammad Nazir Dyanat
Age: 50
Profession: Shopkeeper
Location: Kabul, Afghanistan
"COVID-19 has affected my life in a way that I have no business anymore. Everything has stopped and I am forced to stay at home. Life is not the same as before and I am facing financial problems. The only thing I think about is how to get out of this situation. I am equally concerned about my health and my income.
I am the only breadwinner of my family, so this crisis is causing many issues and we are experiencing tensions in the family. I am also having problems with my wife. She wants me to go out, open my shop and do business. But when I go out I am facing the police who are not allowing me to open the shop. The pressure is building up each day.
I have five kids and my main concern is their health and peace within the family. I am trying my best to advise them as much as possible to stay at home and follow the instructions of the doctors and the government.
We are living in a crisis. Unfortunately, I have not received any support from any source. Most people need some kind of financial and medical support, as we don’t have any financial aid and health support system. Otherwise, there will be a big disaster.
Still, I am optimistic that there will be a change sooner or later. I am sure this situation will not last too long. As a servant of God, we have to keep our hopes alive and wait for a better future."

Lyrically abstract, this piece engages the intimacy of the paint and light and poetic use of color that I associate with renewal and re-birth. Sensuous and optimistic, this work suggests that everything is moving as it should and invites the viewer to relax and enjoy the flow of things.

Lisa Rasmussen | Artist Statement
(thin places) an exploration of the in between or betwixt
My personal quest is to reunite art and the spirit. Akin to the alchemist’s work, which is the transformation of gross material into spiritual substance, I see my art as artifacts of my ever-transforming consciousness.
My art and its process represent a humble quest to resurrect divination in my personal journey and into the community at large. As an artist my work gives the viewer a personal glimpse of my internal revelations. While creating I become a shamanic cave painter, an archeologist, an alchemist, and sorceress.
I speak of divination in its broadest sense, meaning that through my art and process I find myself in a continuum of discovering the unknown within myself and in the world that I live in. The motives and impulses behind my creative process are my shamanistic belief that through the process of creation, I align with dynamism and the divinity that is animated in all of life. Like Tibetan art, which symbolically describes levels of awareness, I intuitively explore the three levels of sacred art in my work: the outer, the inner, and the secret—-The outer being the physical object; the inner being the ritual that occurs during my art making; and the secret, where through the process of my creation and through my reflection on the finished work, the unknown becomes known.
Art is my personal ritual and teacher. While creating I employ my two mental allies, instinct and intuition, to create a composition of chaos and order. My allure with “thin places” has taken me to sacred sites around world and has also led me to explore transpersonal psychology and my own personal shadow through dream work and Jungian analysis. My art is a record of my deep interest in mysticism and the natural world, as well as a passageway into my own mythical inversion of reality. In essence it is my deep exploration into non-ordinary reality and the mysteries of the unknown.
Lisa Rasmussen | Artist Biography
Lisa Rasmussen is a painter, art advocate, environmental artist, and educator. She was born in Wisconsin and has her ancestral roots in Scandinavia and Ireland. Lisa comes from a working class family who has always supported her to follow her heart and her dreams to become an artist. Her late mother, Mickey, was Lisa’s Muse; she fostered in her the practice of art as being a form of expression and personal healing. Early on Lisa developed a thirst for travel and distant cultures. A key conceptual element of her artistic process is the study and travel to ancient cultures and sacred sites around the world. Some of her travel adventures include Nepal, Peru, Ireland and Brazil. She has also lived and taught English in the mountains of South China. She also studied antiquities, the art of the Renaissance, and ceramics in Florence, Italy.
Painting is a very visceral, physical, and metaphysical process. Rasmussen’s paintings have been called abstract expressionism, with a spiritual twist. Her paintings reflect her holistic worldview and her deep connection with the natural world. For Rasmussen, art making is a transcendental experience. When she paints, Rasmussen taps into a force greater than herself: a force that creates through her. Each painting is a product of her dance with divinity. Through her process she hopes to invoke in herself and the viewer a deeper connection to the world within and around us through reflection and inspiration.
Rasmussen was named “Graduate Student of the Year” during her MFA commencement exercises in recognition of the strength of her paintings and her use of her artistic gifts to transform the lives of victims of abuse. Rasmussen is the co-founder and co-director of the ArtCart and of Annual Art Break Day - the mission of both these projects is to empower individuals and communities through ART and its process.
Lisa is also the co-founder, Director, curator, and transformative arts facilitator at Art 4 All People: Sanctuary of Arts and Consciousness in Malibu. Art 4 All People believes that art is profoundly connected to personal and cultural transformation. We are an arts and consciousness gallery, workshop and retreat space that is located in an idyllic contemporary art beach house in Malibu - dedicated to building relationships among artists, collectors, and agents of change. Art 4 All is new-paradigm organization that believes art viewing, collecting, and creating should be a holistic and inviting experience, accessible to all people.
Rasmussen’s work has been featured in numerous media outlets and currently she shows in galleries in San Francisco and Malibu. Currently she lives in Santa Monica with her three cats.
This little chipmunk optimistically crammed nuts in his mouth and then scurried down the tree to store them. It looked like he had several good hiding places. I wonder if the squirrels and chipmunks fight over them but have not seen that yet as they get out of my sight before hiding.

Please feel free to visit my Toba Series :
I am Jaz. I love my family, friends, and I enjoy spending time having fun. I am a very happy optimistic person and try to put my best effort into everything I do. Art is something I have a passion for, I love everything from crafts to digital photography. I am constantly incorporating art into my life every day whether it be by color or through décor in my room. I also am a very outdoorsy kind of person. I am a fan of leather, browns, feathers and Native American types of patterns as well. I would rather be outside than on the couch and I would rather open a window than crank the air-conditioning. I like to play around a lot as well and just act like a complete kid. I absolutely love everything about my life and try to see the good in every situation.
Personally, I think art is a happy place for me, so I choose to use a lot of bright colors in my work. That also reflects my happy personality. I also try to have bright light in my photos because I feel that is when I take the best photos. In my opinion pictures look the best when they are taken in natural light so a lot of my photos are taken outdoors, this is also in part because I like spending time outside. When I can’t be outside I try to make my lighting reflect the look of natural light. Another common factor through-out my photos is high contrast, this is another element of my work that is reflected by my personality, not only do I think photos look most crisp with high contrast but I also think the contrast reflects that I am a very fun loving person but I am very serious about always doing my best. My photography is a reflection of my life, personality, and mood.
For the Self Portrait/ Alter Ego project, I decided to show the viewer two different sides of me. My Self Portrait shows me acting the way I do most often; the true me that I am when I am alone or with people I love and am comfortable with. The first thing seen in my photo is probably my silly face. I chose this face because I am a very goofy, playful, happy person, I am almost always laughing and I can’t be taken seriously at most times. In the photo I used high contrast, as I most often do, to symbolize that I am plain and simple, my clothes are also contrasting and very plain to connect that idea. I am surrounded by three hand-made pillows in my photo to show my crafty side and how I incorporate art into my life. The pillows also only spell Jaz showing that my nickname is who I really am, fun, simple, unique, “Jaz”. Also I decided to use my favorite blanket as the background of my photo because I love its pattern and patterns like it. Last but not least, I chose not to wear any make up in my photo and keep my hair up because I am a very natural person, I don’t wear make-up often and my hair is rarely down.
When planning my project, I decided to make my alter ego portrait the side of me that is seen in school and by the people who don’t know me that well. My alter ego is part of me, but only when I need it to be, not all the time. My alter ego photo is the serious, hardworking student side of me. I have a bunch of books in my lap to show that I do a lot of hard work in school and my face is very serious and focused to show just that, that I am serious about doing well in school and I am focused and not messing around. I am still wearing my natural hair and no make-up to connect myself in my alter ego and self-portrait; although, this photo contains a black jacket to emphasize seriousness. I chose to leave in part of my pillows because I am definitely crafty but most people only see the half of it. Last but not least, my photo is highly contrasted to show the simplicity of myself. I am very proud of both my Self Portrait and Alter Ego but few people see who I really am.

Often times we compose some out there jazz for our product descriptions, by way of that we ran into some trouble with this artist series design by Shawn Wolfe. Some of us are insane fans of his work to the point that the description had potential to end being a blathering strokefest. Below are the ideas Face McSpecies came up busted in traditional MS style. Read through them them, reread which ever of them entices you buy the shirt then buy it and one for a friend.
1.) When we think of the future we are excited and scared at the same time. Or maybe just scared to be excited or just ... nauseosly optimistic.
2.) Have you ever been around someone who CONSTANTLY has to see the "bright" side of every topic so much that you literally consider peeing on them and while calling them a "parade"? HA! Nauseous optimism.
3.) Often when the MixedSpecies guys get together an inordinate amount of libations are consumed. There's nothing like a good projectile vomit to keep the party flow going and get you back to drinking. We'd call that nauseously optimistic as well.
OR
Upon recent experiments in the Mixed Species Research & Development center we have determined that there is nothing more straight up RAWK thank two unicorns vomiting rainbows. We often feel the same way when we think about our future. Kinda scared, kind excited and kinda nauseous. But at the end of the day when we have all gathered around the Mixed Species communal BBQ there's nothing better than a good projectile vomit launch of optimism to get us back to drinking and coming up with more ideas.
Well we are sure Mr. Shawn Wolfe probably had something different in mind with this design. To be honest we aren't sure how he ever allowed us to grope one of his concepts!
Here are a few links to Shawn's huge volume super rad work
