Paul Jules Butler, Child Extraordinair This interview may be viewed on the web at ScatnStyle.com
The title, "Child Extraordinair" does not due justice when describing Paul Jules Butler. This young man is amazing! He is amazing in his own right, regardless of age, but taking the age factor into consideration is simply awe-inspiring. This is one young man that you will want to keep an eye on, as time moves forward! Welcome, Master Butler! Glad to have you on ScatnStyle.com
When did you first decide that you wanted to be an artist?
Paul Jules Butler, my son, started painting at the age of 4, in 2014. He had his first solo exhibition last year, in December, and donated all proceeds to helping the poor kids from Angola. The second exhibition, held this year in June and July was success too, and the money raised were donated to the local Franciscan nuns.
What was your first art creation?
The first creation was an abstract painting, acrylic on canvas, in March 2014. Paul Jules discovered how colors blend, how complimentary shades create a beautiful motif, and how much fun was to control the brush, to make it do what you want. From there on, he never stopped painting. His creations got better and better in time, and he won his first international prize this year, with a painting of a tree, he made for his teacher: http://picassoartcontest.weebly.com/6-12-age-group-2015-season-1.html
What was your first memorable art piece for you, that really made an impact?
This is hard to answer, because Paul Jules has many favorites. I guess The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh is what influenced and inspired him the most. A book about the art of Vincent van Gogh was also the first art book he wanted to buy, and he is reading it very often. He also enjoys watching art tutorials, especially by Bob Ross, because he finds them fascinating, and easy to follow. He currently does not have an art teacher.
Please describe "A Day in the Life of Paul Jules Butler, Artist Extraordinaire."
Paul Jules needs to integrate his passion with his school schedule, so he often waits for the weekend to paint, but he does sketch every day. He doesn't yet have a routine, nor a preferred place to paint. He can start anywhere and we don't mind the drops of paint everywhere around the house. But he is happy when he paints, and he often plays Caribbean music on his CD player to set the mood.
What do you do with your art?
Paul Jules donates about 50% of his sales to charities like Unbound. Facebook is his main place to exhibit his creations, but he had two solo exhibitions in Germany already, so we can say he is known locally. People who are interested in buying one of his paintings often send us a direct message on his Facebook page, and we respond as soon as we can. Many of his artworks are not for sale, because he loves them too much, and he doesn't enjoy partying with his "friends," as he calls them.
We are just starting this journey, but it is very likely that Paul Jules will continue painting, and will also continue donating much of his art to help less fortunate children.
What are your plans in the future?
We are just starting this journey, but it is very likely that Paul Jules will continue painting, and will also continue donating much of his art to help less fortunate children. He is now working for his third solo exhibition, which is, as usual, inspired by flowers, trees, and the magic of life.

Interviewing Xenia Sky
Listening to Xenia Sky is an experience. There is a raw edge, reminding me of some of the music that I love to listen to, from the 1930s and 1940s, when music was raw. Then, with "Adam and the Fire" in mind, a rock edge emerges and that toe tapping turns into a desire to move, and yet, at the same time, to contemplate the lyrics that Xernia Sky has creatively woven within the tapestry of her music.
Come, meet Xenia Sky.
When did you first decide that you wanted to be a musician?
I started singing and writing songs when I was 14. I never made the conscious decision to be a singer/songwriter, it just evolved out of one day picking up my father's stratocaster and putting words to a very sad melody. I can say that every time I tour or write it is a way of saying to myself "I'm going to keep doing this." I cant imagine doing anything else.
Megan Petersen : A New Art Form
Art comes in many forms, and if you've been reading these interviews, you've seen the love of color. There is also the love of handcrafted jewelry. Today we have an artisan, having studied fine art in college, who has taken her gift of artistic expression and applied it to beadweaving. And, she has some pieces with pretty vibrant colors, as you can see in this photo. Ms. Petersen's enthusiasm about her art is contagious and makes one want to pick up the art, themselves, or go dust off the enjoyment of their youth and start creating something and expressing the art that is within themselves.
Hollywood Makeup Artist’s YouTube Picks for Holiday Makeup Ideas
With the holidays approaching come holiday parties and events. Events where one wants to look their best. Part of looking your best includes looking like a celebrity without having to pay the price that a celebrity may pay to get it. Oh, it is true that many of us would love to be pampered and sit and relax with a glass of cool bubbly while the makeup artist performs their magic and makes us look like a million dollars, but many people do not have that luxury, nor the million dollars. And, with this economy, even those who do have the luxury may not want to spend excessive money on the holiday look when they don't need to spend that kind of money to get it.
