Another Brock… Georges Braque, Artist

George Braque, a pioneer of Cubism alongside Picasso, shattered the way we see objects. Born in 1882, he started with Impressionism but was captivated by the Fauves’ bold colors. By 1907, his work fragmented, becoming the foundation of Cubism. He deconstructed...

Brockeim Argues Humor, Romance and Monkeys

My agent can be hard on me sometimes. She expects me to crank out funny things each day. She’s critical when I drink coffee, and she’s just as critical when I want to stop by the pub. It’s difficult. Deadlines, monkeys, coffee, and an agent who never...

Brockeim on Instagram

https://www.instagram.com/brockeim/ It is a brave new world, social media is. It isn’t so new, but here we are, doing relationships using pictures. Is this what the cave dwellers were doing in the Lascaux Cave? At any rate, Instagram, I’m here. Yeah, I...

Look Mom, No Hands!

Look Mom, No Hands! The dust is settling. Broken links have been fixed. Outdated material chucked. A new design to freshen the space. Some new things, too. New reviews. Some fun new bits of nonsense are on the way. I’ve gotten back on the bike and am starting to...

Moving Forward

Moving Forward I believe Roy Orbison. He’s real. Bruce Springsteen is just a singing actor. I’m watching them both sing “Pretty W0man.”  The Boss has some great songs but he poses too much. The late Roy feels real even though I don’t know...

Asking Why, Charms, Hyperboles

Asking Why, Charms, Hyperboles Asking why without looking is pointless. If you wear enough charms, will they work? Most things are overrated. Except Brockeim.com. Hyperboles aren’t enough. Coffee stuff. Related Posts Related Another Brock… Georges Braque,...

Personal Branding Needs More Personality, More Truth Personal branding needs more personality, and with that, more authenticity. I’ve been exploring many social media influencers lately, and I’m disappointed. So many of them are cute 20-somethings or...
