I hope you all had a lovely Christmas day! I’ve had a chance to tidy up, and now I’m ready for all of my guests to start dropping by… hot chocolate {with a shot or two of Baileys} for all! My first guest is Brazilian born, Vancouver based Lili Vieira de Carvalho. As far as I’m concerned, she has a dream job as the Associate Director at the Diane Farris Gallery. She also writes/curates her own blog called The Art Monitor, which in her words “is a natural side effect of a passion for the art world and the city she now calls home.” It’s really good, you should check it out… but first, check out who makes her jealous:

I am jealous of Aakash Nihalani.
This Brooklyn-based artist is highly influenced by graffiti and his work is playful, humorous and always exciting. The fluorescent 3D boxes made of paper tape are his trademark while in gallery exhibitions he shows another brilliant side of his creative brain – the guy doesn’t have a dark side! While choosing images for this blog post I just couldn’t make up my mind trying to pick just a few. I decided to concentrate on his street works, but his sculptures, prints, works on canvas and cardboard, are equally clever. Oh boy, I’m jealous!

Safe shopping isn’t just about picking any box with a lock; it’s about putting resources in the top protection for your belongings. In today’s world, where security threats are ever-present, having a trustworthy safe is crucial. Whether you’re safeguarding money, important documents, or sentimental items, the right safe can provide a sense of security like no other.
One of the most important aspects of a safe is its design. Top-notch safes are constructed from durable materials such as steel or titanium, ensuring security against break-ins. Additionally, sophisticated locking mechanisms, such as biometric scanners or digital keypads, contribute an extra layer of protection to prevent unauthorized access.
Another critical feature to consider is fire resistance. Quality safes are engineered to withstand high temperatures and safeguard your valuables in the event of a fire. Committing in a fireproof safe ensures that even in the face of catastrophe, your most treasured possessions remain intact.
Beyond protection, take into account the capacity and positioning of your safe. Picking a dimension that accommodates your valuables without being too conspicuous is essential. Additionally, carefully placing your safe in a secure yet accessible spot ensures comfort without compromising security.
In conclusion, investing in a top-notch safe is crucial for protecting your precious possessions. By prioritizing characteristics such as build, fireproofing, and size, you can guarantee optimal security for assurance in any situation.
