Conway Graphics and Arts to move to Left Street Studio

2007-12-15T23:39:00Z

After much discussion with other family members I have secured copyright and holdings to all of my family's artwork that was created by my father before his passing away earlier this year. All of this artwork is original and has never been published before this date. Once the legal paperwork and mumbojumbo is done I will be showcasing pieces that are for sale, in one way or another, but the originals will always be in my possession. My father was a silk screen artist his whole life and his final pieces showcase what a talent he had. Once they are digitized and broken down for color seperations I will be making permanent screens for all of them. I will also have them scaled up for poster prints and the such. Theese prints will be for sale through this website and others once available. I will offer a limited signed series through this website only when all the final work is done. this will be a start for Left Street Studio moving into analog art work, and I hope it can continue. With any luck I will be able to find some nice upstarting artists that want exposure and can have them join us here.
I have also been finilazing some of my other artwork, which has never been shown or discussed yet. Theese works will be shown as contracts permit. Any artists wishing to join or people looking for original artwork from new artisis please visit the forums and post requests there.

Left Street Studio's is MOVING

2007-02-01T03:06:00Z

That's right, You heard the news here first. Left Street Studio's is making a major move real soon. But it's propably not the type of move you are thinking about. The domain is staying the same. The hosting service and database is staying the same. The entire website is staying the same ( except for some code updates which you may notice that includes the online store). The physical address of Left Street Studio's is changing.

As of this writing I'm propably about 9 days from the final actions that will make the purchase of the new home final. Although there is allot of work that will be needed, I hope it will go smoothly and quickly. This will replace the home I lost through 2005's tragic hurricane season. It's been almost a year and a half, yet the rebuilding proccess is still going on for most folks, including us here. Once the sale is final it will be a free and clear title I own and will have plenty of space to 'set up shop'. This new home will give me aproximately 800 square feet of space to start building the studio up from scratch, this is aside from the regular living area. It is a 2 story house sitting on a little over an acre of land with almost 2200 sq/ft of interior space, and although it needs some work to get it to my standards, it's a great start none the less. There is also a nice size storage shed out back that has about 200 sq/ft storage with potential for other developement. It also has a private Lake that borders the rear of the property. Wooden decking, existing large Gazebo and second floor balcony adds to the charm. This will be a nice place for others to get together and colaborate inside and out when I'm finished. Works are already being planned to restore the exterior to it's new look and glory and should take about 4 days tops. Chemical treatments and the needed tools are already at my disposal. Next will be gutting out the entire bottom floor and laying a new hard wood flooring throught. After that the Kitchen is going to get a brand new makeover, one that will be worthy of shooting my Cooking Series in.

So for those that have been here and read some of the 'few' posts, I hope this doesn't discourage you . This will be a MAJOR move towards toe operation of the website as a actual and, then, physical studio with all needed structural and components in place. Please note that there will be no setup for sound recording on the premisis as that will be beyond the scope of any of my projects. All sound recordings will be contracted out on an item by item bases based on the requests of the client and/or the recording studio. Recording studio's should sign up and post their available offerings and limitations on the forums so they can be contacted. Once the LS studio is up and running in full force we may reserve the rights to remove these listings and post them as commercial contacts as we see fit, in their discression, and their inclusion to the guidelines to the LS code of conduct ( these will be outlined at a later date).

Enough of the Legal mumbo jumbo, The news here is we moving soon, weather you like it or not. The updates on our progress will be posted as they happen. But for now here is the new LS studio as it sits, before i get my hands on it and start making my 'improvements'

ATI Introduces Complete Line of Next Generation FireGL™ Workstation Graphics Accelerators

MARKHAM, ONTARIO, Apr 24, 2006 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) -- ATI's Avivo™ technology powers new family of high performance FireGL products for DCC, CAD and visualization customers

ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY)(NASDAQ:ATYT) today announced a complete top-to-bottom line of next generation FireGL™ workstation graphics accelerators for professional users. The new family of products range from an ultra high-end one gigabyte configuration to 128MB model, and are all based on ATI's scalable, ultrathreaded architecture with Avivo™ video and display technology.

The next generation FireGL family includes the FireGL™ V3300 and FireGL™ V3400 for the entry level segment, the FireGL™ V5200 targeting the mid-range, and the high-end FireGL™ V7200, complementing the ultra high-end FireGL™ V7300 and FireGL™ V7350 announced in March of this year. With these products, ATI continues to advance the state of the art in workstation graphics, and drive advanced features to more affordable price points. Based on ATI's industry-leading Avivo technology, these accelerators incorporate the following advanced features:

- A 10-bit display pipeline capable of rendering scenes with over a billion colors;

- High dynamic range (HDR) 16-bit per RGB component output for incredible image fidelity;

- Dual link output, capable of driving ultra-high resolution cinema/widescreen monitors.

"ATI's engineering excellence continually leads the industry, and these new workstation products are no exception, delivering the first one gigabyte framebuffer, the first dual link output in an entry level solution, the first to offer two dual link outputs in a mid-range product, and the first to develop a 10-bit rendering pipeline as a core capability," said Joe Chien, General Manager, Workstation Group, ATI. "With this new lineup, ATI delivers the fastest performing and most fully featured workstation graphics accelerators at each price segment."

"ATI has now set its sights on expanding their business further into the mid-range and high end segments of the market, having led the entry level workstation graphics market since the industry transition to PCI Express," said Lloyd Cohen, Research Director, Technical Computing, IDC. "ATI is well poised to make a competitive play in all segments with this new product lineup."

"At Autodesk, we're continually striving to meet the needs of our customers, who are being challenged to handle increasingly large and complex scenes. Alongside the tools and architecture that we provide in Autodesk Maya software, our users require graphics hardware that can give them the power to drive these sophisticated and intricate data sets that are becoming the staples of their day-to-day work. The FireGL has all that and more," said Jill Ramsay, Senior Product Manager for Autodesk Maya Software. "With support of the 64-bit OS and now its new Avivo technology, ATI is an important partner that understands the direction that we want to take the industry in and is delivering the kind of experience professional users demand."

ATI's next generation workstation graphics accelerators offer a wide range of memory configurations and processing power depending on the needs of the end-user. The new line of FireGL products also offer the widest cross-platform support, including the upcoming Windows Vista™ operating system, and is optimized for applications based on OpenGL® 2.0 and DirectX® 9, ATI's FireGL products are supported by a unified driver, which is tested and certified by professional 3D ISV partners, ensuring system compatibility and reliability, while simplifying system administration and reducing maintenance costs. All FireGL products come with a three year warranty and direct access to a dedicated workstation technical support team.
