I met this talented, transcendent artist when a Facebook friend of mine posted a picture that he had digitally enhanced. I fell in love with his work instantly. His use of colour and imagery capture the deep and visceral sense of dreams and visions. In a world where science has progressed so much, it is truly refreshing and invigorating to see a form of art that reminds us of the powers we possess that are still unexplained by science, and yet need no explanation by experience. Astral projection and waking dreams come alive with Mugwort Designs amazing graphical depictions of world unknown yet familiar by day, and vividly journeyed by night in the deep recesses of our infinitely vast internal universe.

“I seek to represent imaginal journeys and dreams as crystallized visions, in order to help remind the waking world of the dreaming. Practicing visual art since early childhood, drawing and painting have always been natural outlets. When I switched to digital painting in 2009, I discovered that with this new medium I was able to portray my visions more accurately, in higher resolution.”

“Many of my pieces start as concept sketches of ideas or visions I’ve had, and evolve into to finished images through a dynamic creative evolution. I use several programs and a wide variety of digital techniques and custom tools, relying on my sense of composition, balance, and narrative. By employing a synthesis of drawing, digital painting, graphic design, and sampling, I rely on intuition to guide the ascetic evolution of an image. I am drawn towards archetypal imagery with narrative potency, and imagery that is highly textured and patterned. The Wacom tablet is my preferred tool. My inspirations come from my dreams, moments of lucidity in everyday life, nature, sound, the sky and inner alchemy.”

Isaac Mills is a digital painter and designer from the east coast of Canada. He chose the moniker “Mugwort’ to embody his intention as an artist. Mugwort artemisia is a sacred tool used by ancients for lucid dreaming and astral projection, and much of his art blossoms from scattered sensory recollections of his own dreams. He seeks to strengthen the flow between the gateway of the dreaming and waking worlds, to open imaginal portals for the viewers and to guide them to an internal temple of inspiration and awakening. Much of his work is thematically centred around a paradigm shift that he sees happening around him in the world, and portrays archetypal forces, ancestral depths, evolution and shamanic symbolism. Visually synthesizing windows into both the bygone industrial era and a multitude of potential future realities, he anticipates the brink of time. His art has been displayed at galleries and festivals in Canada, the US and Europe.

This promotional video was created in a day, with an early start we created the concept, planned out the scenes, wrangled up some volunteers, and shot the video. Then I went home to edit and get the shotgun project done before the newsletter was sent the next day.

If you want a professional promotional video done quick and easy, I can do it.

Professional Promotional Video This could be almost anything. Generally 15 seconds to 3 minutes in length to keep viewer retention. I can create the footage myself in collaboration with you, or you can give me your home video footage for me to work with and I can put something together with some background music in behind. Cost will vary depending on your specific needs and the vision you have for the video.
see example here:

Professional Workplace Tour Video I generally like to keep these videos down to 2 or 3 minutes but that a=can run up to 5 minutes should the content displayed be valuable and intriguing. The idea behind this type of video is to give the viewer/ potential client, a desire to come and see your workplace for themselves. These videos are great for breaking down barriers and giving the viewer incentive to like, know and trust you and your business. Very effective marketing tool.

If you’re reading this article, you’ve probably heard the term video marketing before, or perhaps, this may be your first time. Regardless, you want to know what the big deal is about video marketing. Let me answer your pondering mind with a question. When you’re looking for information or want to learn about something, are you more likely to read a 500 to 1000 word article or, are you more likely to choose to watch a 2-3 minute video which gives you the same information?

The answer is easy. Most people will opt to watch a short video as opposed to reading a lengthy article. Now don’t get me wrong articles are very important and very valuable, I mean, you’re reading this aren’t you? However, when you’re pressed for time (and so often we all are) a video can tend to save us some time and there are certain things we get out of a video that we simply cannot get from reading an article. This is one of the reasons why YouTube has become so popular. Most people simply value their time enough to desire to spend less time reading and more time watching to get the same information.

Saving yourself a bit of time is definitely very valuable, however, there is another reason why we are drawn to watching a video. We get to make a connection with the person who has made that video. Let’s say that you’re watching a video where somebody is looking at the camera and speaking. You get to see the look in their eyes, their facial expression, and their mannerisms. In seeing this you are able to choose whether or not you trust the source. You can also tell if they are being honest with you or whether they’re just a “smarmy salesperson” selling their wares.

Perhaps you’re watching a video with words and pictures on the screen. Your brain will have to do less work to process this information and to imagine what the information is telling you then you would have to do when reading an article. So if you want to give your brain some exercise, read an article. But, if you want to get a lot of information in a short span of time, with a visual aid helping you to remember the information you’re learning, then you should watch the video. Pictures and short phrases, simply put, are much easier to remember than with the process of reading words, deciphering them, imagining what they mean, and remembering them afterwards. It truly is a much simpler process for your brain to see and hear something, rather than to process it like you do with reading.

There are so many other types of videos, and so many more reasons why video marketing is so popular today, but these 2 reasons should give you a good idea as to why video marketing is such a big deal. A big deal in terms of it being so popular, and a “big deal” in terms of an easier way to get you that big deal. Perhaps you’ve already started article marketing and wish to expand or evolve to the next level, then video marketing is most certainly the next step. If you’ve never attempted marketing in the first place video marketing is definitely is very strong foundation to start with. So if you are wondering “ Why video marketing?” I’m sure you have enough information here to decide. Now all you have to do is muster up the courage to own your voice on screen.
