PUTTING AMERICA BACK TO WORK at WWW.HANSWENDLAND.COM
One Creative Director at a time!
As I am gainfully employed I consider myself one of the lucky ones. Many in this economy are suffering, and none more that Creative Directors (also known as User Experience Directors). Having so many colleagues loose their jobs recently has prompted me to try to do my part in this time of economic troubles by publishing a page on my web site at www.hanswendland.com which can be a one-stop shop for unemployed Creative Directors.
On my Stimulus page at www.hanswendland.com I have gathered RSS Feeds to the top Job sites specific to Creative Directors or recommendations by them based on my profile. I have also published links to documents, tools, and other helpful information a Creative Director my be able to use to find and secure his/her next great opportunity.
All feeds are updated daily and as I find more links, feeds, and resources, I will publish them there. Currently I publish RSS feeds based on the following Job Sites:

Abstract Series 37 – Abstracting the abstract
When I am in my painting studio I abstract what I see and feel onto canvas.The paintings are tangible, somewhat reproducible and their images are concrete.
When I am behind the camera, the abstractions I create exist in the real world only for a fraction of a second. They are not tangible, they typically cannot be reproduced, nor will they ever exist again. The image capture only exists on my digital media, and although I can make infinite numbers of exact duplicates of the images, I cannot reproduce the same shot.
This series of photographs are abstractions of the paintings I am currently working on, and they extend the objective of my work on canvas to a new level. By abstracting my own abstract paintings I can extend the original intent of my work on canvas in a way that is not only unique, but is also unachievable with paint and pencil.
The photographs focus on small sections of my paintings that I didn’t notice while looking at the painting as a whole, and when isolated and abstracted, these parts create a completely different tone than originally intended. By adding light variances and motion to the photographs, I have created new works of art. This art, originating from parts of greater objectives, now stands on its own.
As these paintings are in mid stream, they will change with every new brush stroke, therefore I will never be able to reproduce these photographs, making them truly unique. I am very happy with the results of this exercise and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
