"Shining Brighter!"
Visual Artist Launches Creative Agency

"I've been deeply pondering my artist exploits over the last 4 years and I've come to some solid conclusions about what I want from my life on this planet and how my creativity can best service the living generations."

Living the life of a paint-pusher, visual artist Rah Crawford, founder of NPIC-Art™ has been actively sharing his creativity with the world. Commissioned Olympic portraits for the 2008 Beijing games; his painting shoes are on display in a Belgium Museum. Crawford's work has made its way to the famed Stedlijk Museum in Holland as well as representation by Private View , one of London's leading artist Agencies. In the states, the Smithsonian Museum experienced heated bidding on Crawford's work, while an art critic titled him as "..the commercial genius of the Philadelphia art world."

Fashion and product licensing deals; on stage cameos with Grammy Recording Artists; music video guest appearances; as well as a public television special entitled "Rah Crawford - Pop Star" validates the artists relevance in popular culture. A quick google search of the artist will produce over 12 pages of activity. With an already impressive list of accomplishments, Crawford insists that there is so much still to be done.

"I see the first 4 years as chapter one. I was testing the limits of what I could do and what could be done creatively. During my travels and exhibitions - I had already been doing a lot of designing behind the scenes, organizing marketing campaigns and custom art for brands and new clients. This commercial business paid the bills much faster, so it became obvious what should be done. The Goodsun is the beginning of the next chapter."

Rah Crawford has positioned The Goodsun as a new media creative arts agency focused on connecting visual art seamlessly with commerce. Their service spectrum is defined within 3 main categories: Consult / Design / Brand. The goal is to help clients "Shine Brighter!" via creative consultation, marketing strategies, custom art/design, web services; as well as brand development for new products, services and intellectual property.

As a boutique agency founded by an internationally recognized artist, The Goodsun is free to operate beyond the borders of traditional marketing/design company templates. Resulting in unfiltered creative projects, fortified with integrity and quantifiable within its target market.

Crawford is a true artist and insists that he will always paint and exhibit his work. He will produce one annual exhibition, focusing all of his fine art energies into that single event. The rest of his time will be dedicated to servicing his client base and organizing his creative team of designers and marketing professionals.

The New York Times printed its critique of Crawford's work on two separate occasions, describing his style as "Buoyant.. Optimistic and Exuberant!" Three words that best describe Rah Crawford,
his creative vision, and his new agency The Goodsun.
