Dragonfly Blu Design, Lisamikulski.com and ArtLOOK Redesigned & Refined

Dfb_screencapHi All. It seems that whenever things get busy here at DFB the posts on ArtLOOK slow to a near halt. I'm sorry about that. Spring is the busiest time of year for not only the art business but for design as well. Despite the onslaught of work here at the studio, it was a priority to update and redesign my own design house.

Please meet the new Dragonfly Blu. DFB has a brand new ID and look. It is a bit more edgy and bold but also decidedly feminine and clean. New portfolios contain updates to recent work, photography, and the new Client and Designer Bill of Rights. Feedbacks from my recent email campaign has been great so thank you all for those comments and kind thoughts.

I've done some organizational work here at ArtLOOK as well. You will see that the blog has been divided into 3 columns. Recent posts and categories appear at the top of the page for easy reference. Websites, blogs and resources have been combined simply into Design Resources and Art Resources. Only the best resources appear here. Outdated or unmaintained sites and blogs will not appear in this list.

Lisamikulski.com has also been redefined. Expanded art management and marketing services for Artists and Galleries include:


  • Identify and develop outreach goals

  • Serve as contact for business and media relations

  • Work as liaison to galleries, suppliers, buyers, and collectors

  • Marketing and advertising in print and online

  • Portfolio creation in print and online

  • Inventory Development

  • Marketing and PR materials creation - graphic and web design

  • Email campaigns and direct mail

  • Development of mailing lists

  • Development of press releases and feature articles

  • Copywriting

  • Exhibition support, Event planning and PR

Nice Things People Say

  • Art On Groton Bank
    "I am very impressed with the work Lisa has done for us in this short time. She has a light touch, very appealing and attractive, plus real style." Audrey Heard
  • David Black regarding an INK feature arts article:
    "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."
  • Re: Article on Slater Museum
    "Ok, Don't stand in a doorway when you read this as you may become hopelessly lodged... Hang on to your head, an ego boost attached... I love it Lisa. Spot on nicely done, access-able, significant and of a standard. I'm stoked, can't thank you enough, very happy and impressed." Jeff Lilly - INK Publishing
  • Designers Who Blog Says:
    "The Art and Design is written in a easy manner, centred on the design community, and points to discussions I can use...It’s my kind of blog as it keeps on giving."

    Cat Morely, "I enjoy your writing and will be checking back with ArtLOOK to keep up what you come up with next. I so envy those who can write well."
  • The Art Guide
    "I am glad you are a perfectionist- You have given us a world-class site that will be an asset to The Guide as we move forward and expand." Matt Holmes, The Art Guide
  • Artist Julia Rogoff
    "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
