Building a new city in the midst of the old city, one syllable at a time by writing, editing, rapping, praying, and that sort of thing.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

“Lying in bed,” noted literary giant G.K. Chesterton, “would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a coloured pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.” Sometimes I feel the same way. Above my bed is a pure white canvas waiting to become what it surely was created to be: something spectacular and beautiful. Sadly, for reasons far beyond my control, my ceiling will never be a twenty-first century Sistine Chapel.
Chesterton was a master of wit, taking simple, everyday things, turning them on their head to communicate with clarity and insight. As he looked about his room while in bed, he noticed his wallpaper was different than his vision for his ceiling. Instead of an iconic storyboard covering the drywall, he saw a decorative apparatus full of “arbitrary symbol (a symbol entirely devoid of any religious or philosophical significance)…sprinkled all over my nice walls like a sort of small-pox.” For Chesterton, wallpaper was “vain repetition” – like pointless mutterings repeated incessantly.
No matter one’s opinion of wallpaper or decorative ceiling art, that we are always communicating something – even with our wallpaper – is inescapable. And sometimes we only get one opportunity to communicate it. Each word is crucial.
Whether the communication is audible through public speaking, music, or video, or visual in magazines, blogs, email, or books, the words – and the means we use to communicate them – are important.
That’s where we enter. Our objective at Neopolis Media is to help you to communicate more effectively. Writing and editing is our art, and your emails, reports, newsletters, and books are the canvas.
Our second objective with Neopolis Media is to expand our communication base. From a dozen year (plus) discography to works on beer, theology, and hip-hop, Neopolis doubles as a platform to centralize our various “media” endeavors.
Coming to the table with varied writing, editing, and communication experience, We are confident we have the skills to help you competently convey your ideas to your audience. We invite you to look over our expanding résumé to see how your effectiveness can be increased.
Let’s turn your wallpaper and ceiling into the Sistine Chapel.
