Hi Friend:
I hope your day is going well for you. I ran across some cool software that I think you'll be interested in and can help you hide folders and files on your computer. This can come in real handy when you have sensitive files that you want to keep private from prying eyes. Use Hide Those Folders software to keep private files from being viewed by children, employers, employees, and even hackers!
Hide Those Folders will hide your sensitive files and folders so that they can't be seen or accessed. Files stay hidden even if you turn on "View Hidden Files" Even links in your recent documents menu won't be able to find your hidden files or hidden folders.
The best part is that Hide Those Folders offers a FREE "Try Before You Buy" trial.

Colby said… - I listed you as one of my favorite artists and then I found you on here, strangely cool. I really love your work. I showed Essay 1 & 2 to some good friends at the Art Crawl this year and they ended up buying them out from under me! At least I get to go to their house to see them often. Anyway, you inspire me. Thanks!

B.H. Berg said… - I am looking for comments on my most recent blog. I listen to the opinions and thoughts of others on art history's continued influence on today's art society. I compile what I learn and create vast resources of information for myself to draw upon when creating and forging new articles and journal entries. It is with diverse information and opinions that art becomes a powerful tool I believe.

- About Me:
- Ray Phillips has been an artist all his life.
From the early years of endless drawing, his mother, recognizing his artistic passion, sacrificed, supported and encouraged him to take advantage of his talents and enrolled him in the Glassell School of Art (then called the Museum of Fine Art School).
His later years found him experiencing much acclaimed success as a professional musician and more recently, in the digital graphics industry.
But it has now come full circle. Painting, and the visual arts, has indeed become the last and true ideology for living his life.
It is all these artistic endeavors throughout his life that now translate into his work. His highly sought after paintings exhibit the depth, layering, texture and composition that can only come from someone who strives for perfection, one who believes “enough is never enough”.
Phillips describes his passion: “Each piece is like a series of small battles, something to overcome in the constant mission to please myself. The creative process is sometimes very exhausting, unlike some peoples interpretation that it’s all therapeutic and ideas just fly onto the canvas.”
He adds,
“…often after finishing a piece I feel completely spent.”
