Library Art Reception Honors State Folk Legend

TOMS RIVER – On Thursday, October 14th, the Ocean County Library will host an art reception for “Visions of the Jersey Devil”, a group exhibit honoring the 275th birthday of New Jersey’s favorite mythical mascot.

The exhibit showcases imaginative portraits of the Jersey Devil created by eight local artists. Artworks range in style from traditional to modern to comic-book. Many poke affectionate fun at the popular folk legend, while others draw inspiration from historic eyewitness accounts.

Visitors to the Toms River Branch on October 14th are invited to join the fun in McConnell from 6:00-8:00 pm. Activities will include trivia, audiovisual presentations, and refreshments—including a “275th Birthday Cake” for the Jersey Devil.

Originating in 1735, the legend of the Jersey Devil has fascinated the Garden State for close to three centuries. Hundreds of state residents claim to have seen the Jersey Devil in its natural habitat, the Pine Barrens. After decades of notoriety, “Mother Leeds’ 13th Child” has earned the loyalty of many New Jersey natives, who view the creature as an enduring state symbol.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library at (732)349-6200 xt. 5100, or visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org

Fused Glass Jewelry - Friday, July 16th 6:30 - 8:30PM
(and in case you can't make that one, another one held on Thursday, July 22 2:00 - 4:00 PM!)***

Visiting Artist / Teacher: Yvonne Yaar

The glass-working technique know as “fusing” involves melting pieces of glass
(layered on top of one another) together in a kiln at tempatures typically in excess of 1200º F. The end result is a new piece of glass. In jewelry making, we will focus on pendants or earrings, whichever the student chooses. THe techniques for design, cutting glass, grinding it for shaping and smooth edges- all part of the process taught and discussed in class. You can ask questions for more detailed information or just sit back and enjoy the process.

*** Each piece is taken to Yvonne's studio for the kiln process. Therefore allow a week for pick up unless other special arrangements are made with the artist (pick up sooner, different location, mailing to your home address for $7 fee, etc) You will be given a small tube of high quality craft/glass glue and will be responsible for attaching your jewelry bails. These bails are included with the cost of the class, no additional purchases necessary.

About the Artist: Simply put, Yvonne has a passion for glass. She became a full time artist approximately 4 years ago. She has taken classes at Salem Community College in Carney's Pt, NJ; one of the few entities in the USA that offers a Bachelor's Degree in Glass Art. She was on the Dean's list when she attended and she also took a class at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY. However, she is primarily self-taught. She has a BS from Indiana University in Interior Design, with a minor in Business Administration. She exhibits and sells from multiple galleries, museums, and boutiques in the Tri-State area {NY, NJ, &PA]. In 2009, Yvonne was honored by The Monmouth Museum as one of "New Jersey's Emerging Artists".

Auditions! Singers Wanted

AUDITIONS

Singers Wanted 2010 Sinatra Birthday Bash
The Sinatra Birthday Bash is a musical celebration of Frank Sinatra in honor of what would have been his 95th birthday. Eight to ten of New Jersey's finest saloon singers, selected specifically for this show, will take the stage of the historic Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, backed by the Red Bank Jazz Orchestra. The RBJO is a 17-piece professional Big Band under the musical direction of Joe Muccioli, who Jazzwise Magazine says works with, "A maximum of authenticity." The Sinatra Birthday Bash is not a costume and wig show. It's a sincere, respectful tribute in song to one of NJ's most famous sons. Those of you selected, no doubt the finest singers working in NJ today, will sing the great songs of the American Songbook, and many of the tunes associated with Sinatra during his long career.
AUDITION & SHOW INFO: This year a brand new cast of featured vocalists, plus a possible back-up singing group that we call "the Sinatra Guys and Dolls," will be selected for the show. Males, females, small vocal ensembles and talented performers of all ages are encouraged to apply. Each featured vocalist will perform two songs (one on each set) w/ the band, & participate in the opening number & the finale. Performers must attend rehearsals with the Musical Director as needed, & a whole cast staging rehearsal with piano accompaniment on a date TBA, & the dress rehearsal at 2:00 PM on Friday, December 10, 2010 & the show on the same date at 8:00 PM. Featured vocalists will receive an honorarium of $250 per singer or ensemble. Backup singers will receive $100 per singer. Audition is by CD (not in person).
Send a resume, head shot, & audio CD containing three recordings (songs) of your work in the Sinatra style to: Numa Saisselin, CEO, Count Basie Theatre, 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701

Video Game Classes

Many students are familiar with Flash games found on gaming websites and now they have an opportunity to learn just how those games are created! Using Flash animation skills and employing a variety of Actionscript coding techniques, students can create a game of their own or a game using Small Factory characters.

Session 1: One week of classes, July 5 - 9, 2010, 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

Session 2:
Tuesday evenings for 6 weeks starting July 6, 2010
Beginner class 5:15 p.m. - 6:15 p.m.
Advanced Class 6:15 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.
Additional classes as needed.

Each Session is $240.

Location: Small Factory, 560 STE-C River Road, Fair Haven, NJ, 07704

Instructor: Laura Gesin always enjoyed board games as a child. When she was in middle school, Atari released Pong and she was hooked on video games! Space Invaders and Missile Command soon took up most of Laura’s time, and she admits her grades may have suffered in college due to Asteroids. After earning an English degree, she worked in marketing for almost a decade before going back to school to pursue a career in computer programming. She spent some time in corporate America but took advantage of the internet boom of the 90s to take hers skills online. There she discovered the world of online gaming and it wasn’t long before she learned Flash and was creating her own games. When the internet bubble burst, Laura turned to teaching. At Communications High School in Wall, NJ, she’s taught everything from Web Design to Game Programming in Flash, and now she’s bringing her expertise and love of gaming to Small Factory Productions!

To Register, please contact the instructor at lgesin@lauragesin.net.

An elderly man is found murdered in his basement flat. Inspector Erlendur and his crew don't have much to go by in the investigation, but a photograph of a young girl's grave gives them a lead. They discover that many years ago the victim was accused, though not convicted, of horrible crimes. Did the old man's past come back to haunt him? As Erlendur reopens this very cold case, he follows a trail of unusual forensic evidence, uncovering secrets that are much larger than the murder of one old man - with clues knit into the genetic bloodline of an entire country.

Who Owns Your Tattoo

The following was cut and pasted from Fran Ashton Law, with her permission

Who owns your tattoo?

The author or creator of an original work automatically owns the copyright. Copyright protection is automatic and begins when the work is created, but to fully protect your interests, you need to register your copyright with the Copyright office in order to sue for copyright infringement and to sue for statutory damages and attorney fees.

A tattoo artist can register his work for a copyright.

To be copyrighted, a work must be “fixed” and “original.” “Fixed” means that the work has been embodied in a form that is sufficiently permanent or stable long enough that it may be perceived, reproduced, or communicated. “Original” means the work was not copied from another and the work was more than merely trivial.

If the customer and the tattoo artist together create the design, they may be co-owners of the copyright.

If a tattoo artist has copyrighted the tattoo design you choose to have etched on your body, then the fact that the artist permanently affixes his copyrighted design on your body does not transfer to you the rights protected by copyright. Nor does that transfer ownership of any part of your body to the tattoo artist. That is because ownership of a copyright, or of any of the exclusive rights under a copyright, is distinct from ownership of any material object in which the work is embodied.

If you and the tattoo artist, or other owner of the copyright, sign an agreement transferring the copyright to you, then you own the copyright.

In recent cases, some have argued that the customer owned the copyright because the tattoo was a “work for hire”. If a work is made for hire, the employer (other person for whom the work was prepared) is considered the author for purposes of copyright, and owns all of the rights protected by copyright, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in a written contract signed by them.

However, the legal definition likely excludes tattoos from work for hire. A ‘work made for hire’ is—(1) a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment; or (2) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire.

This definition seems to exclude a traditional tattoo from “works for hire”. First, the tattoo artist is not by definition an employee of the customer. The tattoo artist is likely an independent contractor hired by the customer. An independent contractor would create “a work specially ordered or commissioned”. And a traditional tattoo does not fit into any of the categories listed above for “a work specially ordered or commissioned”.

If you are a customer and you want the copyright to your tattoo, there are options.

1. Use a contract before getting tattooed, describing your contribution and either listing you as co-author or transferring ownership from the tattoo artist or tattoo parlor to you. Hire a lawyer to do this properly. The agreement should use the word “copyright” and say all “ownership” in the tattoo and any drawing, sketch, and other work that becomes or embodies the tattoo vests in, belongs to, and is transferred in whole to the customer.

2. Check the Copyright Office for any copyright registrations naming the Tattoo artist or assigned to the tattoo business. If a copyright covers the tattoo, you can ask the artist or business to transfer ownership.

3. Copyright the tattoo yourself. Preferably before being tattooed.
