–Craigslist posting I came across today from someone seeking a creative and business partnership. This kind of networking is what Synchronized Chaos is designed to help facilitate, so please feel free to submit requests such as these for your own endeavours.
From Lisa of Looking/Listening Graphic Design, reachable at http://www.lookinglistening.com/contact/ or comm-8qvdx-1327450955@craigslist.org
Let me make clear that this is a call for web technology people who’d like to talk about partnering with me, a graphic artist, in bidding on websites. I am not hiring anyone, sorry, and I am probably needing work as badly as you are. That said, I am a designer, not a techie. I don’t know html, css or any of the backend skills. These days, people want the whole enchilada, front and back, from one vendor. If you are lacking in the design area and like my work (online portfolio: http://www.lookinglistening.com), have professional experience and excellent communication skills (qualities I bring to the table) let’s talk about what we could cook up. If we have the right mix we can go after bids together, or use each other’s skills when one of gets a project on their own.
Optimistically yours, Lisa

The French term Trompe L’Oeil literally means ‘deception of the eye.’ It is a genre that requires incredible technical skill, along with knowledge of perspective, contrast and trickery. These illusions, whether serious or playful, allow the viewer to perceive art and nature through a different perspective. In the 1960’s, distinguished ceramic artists such as Marilyn Levine, Richard Shaw, and Victor Spinski began further experimenting with Trompe L’Oeil in ceramics by transforming clay into leather, metal, wood, plastic, glass or steel and creating found objects, banal if by themselves but gaining significance and intrigue when combined with other quotidian clay-created found objects.
We are looking for artists practicing in any medium to submit work before October 15, 2009 to be considered for the group catalog.
Email submissions Attention Trompe L’Oeil to art@natsoulas.com
