Noam Omer: The World in Pencils
Artists paid a heavy price during the COVID12 lockdowns.  Those that wanted to survive had to adapt themselves, for instance, by going online.  Online shows, however, have different demands.  But they also offer new possibilities.  Those who know Noam Omer’s previous work wouldn’t think that pencils are an adequate medium for his expression.   His works are usually characterized by a glaring presence, the figures seem about to jump at the observer or break away from their frame. Maybe a good way to understand Noam’s choice of color pencils as the major technique he used throughout the year (2020) is to think about the difference between symphonic and chamber music.  In chamber music, the artist speaks quietly to a small group of persons in a room, or even to himself.  You are invited to visit his online show. By clicking on each picture you can see its name and size, as well as enlarge it to screen size. If you like the show, share it with your friends and with people who love art.

His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over t...

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen.
