THANK YOU FROM THE EDITOR
Some would say this edition is a little late, that Christmas has already passed and we’re on to New Years. However, being raised Christian by a Roman Catholic and Orthodox Ukrainian, the 12 days of Christmas takes on longer journey, or in my Father’s eyes, the true date of Christmas isn’t till January 7th according to the Julian Orthodox calendar. Which makes me wonder if December 25th is the actual date for Christ’s birth given that… well anyway, I digress.
Suffice it to say, no, Christmas is not over, far from it. However if I have to hear another 12 days of Mariah Carey’s magnum opus, I may go slightly mad. If the department stores have it their way, it likely won’t be until Valentines before Mariah is put into her 10 month coma only to be resurrected come Hallow’s Eve. Read Nicole’s origins article below on the ode to Christmas for further jolly ranting.
And now for something completely different. Cue Tina Turner.
The Company and I thought we’d keep this edition short and sweet. Simply the Best. Call it the Cover Edition, the Art Feature, the Yearly Wrap up and what have you, it’s been hell of a journey this year. A little slow to start in the studio, we’ve ended the year off with a bang, with not a drop of creativity left spared.
With wonderful clients, readers, and supporters like you we’ve been able to produce some of our best work yet. We’ve taken part in numerous international commercial campaigns and expanded into advertising as a studio mainstay. What do you need? KARJAKA can create. Giddy Up! The Magazine continue to grow reader and sponsorship, and request come in weekly for ideas and articles.
Most importantly, we’ve had the privilege of watching our clients light up in and out of studio. If you haven’t noticed, life tends to be on the chaotic side these days, so we’re of the mindset to create a sliver order in spite of it all. Call it controlled chaos, wrangling cats, or whatever your preferred analogy or metaphor might be, KARJAKA comes back to our mantra of KISS(ing), keeping it simple stupid.
Simply put we keep the drama in our elegant light, imagery and ads, to bring out the best and maybe a little drama in you.
From all of us at KARJAKA,
Wishing you a most creative Holidays & New Year!
