A Quick Note

Here's just a quick note about the series. Since Keeping the Lights On is no longer on Ropeadope TV, the previously posted links to KTLO videos on that site no longer work. Please do not go to Ropeadope looking for the series -- you will not find it there!

My sincere apologies to anyone who has gone there only to find videos that have nothing to do with Keeping the Lights On. I have been trying to get this problem fixed to no avail. It is out of my control.

But fear not! You can watch all installments of Keeping the Lights On right here on this site.

Installment 1 - George Ferrandi

Installment 2 - Joy Drury Cox

Installment 3 - Ishah Janssen-Faith

Enjoy...

George Ferrandi Featured In NYFA Current

KTLO's first featured artist, George Ferrandi, is the subject of a fantastic write up by fellow artist and friend, Miguel Luciano, in the latest issue of NYFA Current (the free bi-monthly magazine of the New York Foundation for the Arts). If you paid attention to the credits attached to This Is Our Moment then Miguel's name should sound familiar to you. He, like George, helped conceive and paint the mural which that film documented.

It really is a wonderful piece on George and I urge you to check it out. It gives some beautiful insight into the ways George's day job work overlaps with her artwork -- and vice-versa -- and offers a perfect take on the themes and overall essence of this talented artist's work.

You have to sign up at NYFA's site in order to get complete access to the article, but I promise you it is worth the minute it takes to register.

Change

It seems change is everywhere these days. And that's a very good thing. In keeping with this spirit, your favorite documentary series about artists and their days jobs will no longer air on Ropeadope TV.

We are gearing up for a new launch on the series' official site -- keepingthelightson.tv -- and we hope you will join us as we embark on bigger and better things. In the meantime, all previous episodes of Keeping the Lights On are available right here on the blogspot. Simply click on the links under "View the Series" to check out all installments to date.

And don't forget to check out the amazing work of our featured artists. It will change your life.

KTLO Is Still Here

This being the fifth Monday without a new episode, you might be wondering what's up with Keeping the Lights On? Fear not, my friends, KTLO has not gone away for good. We're just taking a little time to work on new installments with new artists, but we'll be back soon. I promise.

Some changes are in store, but I won't talk too much about them right now. Don't worry, they'll be good changes. Keeping the Lights On is still going to bring you the most interesting glimpses into the lives of artists with day jobs. That's not changing...ever.

In the meantime in between time, catch up with any episodes you might have missed over the past 6 months. Oh, you've already watched all of them? Well, like many things in life, KTLO episodes are better the second time around...

Thanks for all your support since KTLO hit the air web. The lights will be back on soon.

The End Is Near / Here

The epic third installment of Keeping the Lights On draws to a close with today's release of Ishah Janssen-Faith - Part 10. This episode is a perfect ending to the latest chapter in the series and will prove inspirational to anyone who is striving against all odds to realize their dreams (or questioning if it's worth it).
