This webpage and newsletter was created with one purpose in mind: MARKETING.
We hope that, upon persuing the articles about various small business owners and their goals,
you will be inspired to pass on this information to two or three (or four or ten) people you know.
Who are we trying to reach? Potential clients for those businesses discussed in this newsletter,
people who might know the business owners and want to know what they have chosen to do with their lives,
anyone who might, in turn, want to promote their own business.
We all know how many websites there are on the internet, and none of us are naive enough to believe this one
newsletter will make all the difference, but how many of us feel much better about utilizing services offered
by people who have been recommended by friends? Send out a few emails, call up a few friends, see if anyone
you know would like to receive a printed newsletter with coupons. Who knows? You might help a friend move
their small business into a thriving, competitive, ego-building, debt-clearing career.
Send us an email with details on yourself and your business and see yourself featured in our next newsletter!
After much time spent building my KidsArt studio in Los Altos, California, I am finally ready to delve back into the
art world.
RobinBlinde.com is now up and running, where you can see samples of all of my work, and hire personal
comissions for yourself! Murals, Illustrations, Greeting Cards, Animal and People Portraits, Sketches, and more! Discuss
your idea for your home, for a gift, or for remembering those who have been lost.
I am willing to travel, depending on the project and location. Watch for my "Project of the Month" to see the latest
examples of my work, and view items currently available for purchase.

Ebonic Productions produced 8 shorts last year. One of them will be featured next week on the CW's "Online Nation". This winter we are doing a
joint production with Jai Rodriguez (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy). We are making a pilot for a sketch comedy show. Jai has brought in some
former cast memebers of Rent, as well as some celebrity connections like Wayne Brady and Debora Gibson to make appearances.
Ebonic also finished an epic parody of Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator". This parody may be included in the sketch show with Jai.
As for me, I'm finishing up post production on the series that I directed for SiTV with Jai Rodriguez. It's called Styleyes Miami. It's an
exploration of fashion, culture, and lifestyle in Miami, hosted by Jai. I spent 6 weeks shooting there, doing spotlights on restaurants, clubs,
fashion boutiques and tourist spots.
Two months ago, I was honored with a Promax Gold Award for a music video/promo I made for Time Warner cable. The Promax awards are the Promo
world's version of the Oscars. My spot was up against spots from all of the major networks.
Next for me? I'll be directing a producing a series called "Model Latina", which is a cross between America's Next Top Model and The
Apprentice, but with a Latina slant.

Work Experience
I have been living and working in the Bay Area for over 10 years and know many of the hidden secrets of this region. My previous experience
as an insurance appraiser for a high-end insurer has given me insight and perspective on housing in our area that I can use to the benefit
of my clients. Although I specialize in the south peninsula, I have extensive knowledge of San Francisco and the peninsula areas.
Personal Philosophy
I am honest, hardworking, and absolutely love my job! My goal is to make a customer for life who will trust me to help them, and their friends
and family, for many years to come. I know the kind of dedication and service that requires and am prepared to provide that to my clients.
