Blue Street Studios, Inc.

Blue Street Studios Inc. is developing music powered video games whereby the gamer solves a quest game by learning and following the lyrics of music from a favorite artist. Our first product is expected to be released during Q3 of '10 with the rock band KISS through Universal Music. The games are delivered to the gamer/customer in both CD form in the music CD jacket and can also be downloaded over the internet. Each song on the CD has a corresponding game, GAMGLE®.

GAMGLES® are game singles - the games inside your music. Imagine a role-playing video game where you're not just listening to your favorite songs, you're playing the storylines inside those songs! Well that's what GAMGLES® are! Load up a GAMGLE® from your favorite song and play a new lyric-based adventure filled with characters, situations, and props right out of the song.

As the gamer solves each GAMGLE® according to the lyrics of the song, the band or artist performs the song in animated form (animated video cinema). Blue Street Studios' GAMGLES® are a “value add” for the music industry to provide the music purchaser with another reason to buy the music.

Atelier

Where Jewelry is Art

ATELIER JEWELRY IS SPECIAL!

Atelier is a retail gallery and working studio in Nashville, Tennessee, where owner Susan Russell and a staff of dedicated artisans create unique handcrafted fine jewelry.  Atelier’s designs are couture in the true meaning of the word—original (many of the designs are copyrighted), handmade, frequently one-of-a-kind, and often custom-made to the desires of a particular customer. Atelier uses high karat gold, sterling, vermeil, or 14k gold-filled metals (often hammered), and specializes in exotic pearls such as South Sea (Indonesian golden, Australian white, and multi-colored Tahitian), akoya, kasumi, and keishi in both saltwater and freshwater varieties, as well as rare and sophisticated gemstones. All gemstones and other materials are personally selected by Susan, and are of the highest possible quality. Atelier represents something truly special in wearable art.

About Kenneth Russell

Founder, Arc Resource Capital

Kenneth Russell grew up working in his father’s North Carolina custom store fixture company, which prided itself on excellent engineering and innovative tools and methods. This formative experience led him to obtain a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University.

Part-time during his junior and senior college years, and full-time following college, Mr. Russell worked for Lord Corporation in three areas of the company: Aerospace, R & D, and Bioengineering. At the request of Chairman Tom Lord, Jr., the founder’s son, who suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis, Mr. Russell helped design replacement finger joints for Lord. The young engineer saw his first surgeries during the testing of the finger joints, and fell in love with Bioengineering. Mr. Lord had his finger joints successfully replaced at the Cleveland Clinic using the newly designed product, which was later distributed by Johnson & Johnson. This experience inspired Mr. Russell’s life-long interest in developing advances in medical devices

To pursue his interest in Bioengineering, Mr. Russell joined Dow Corning Wright in Memphis, Tennessee, which became Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (WMGI:US), where he developed and commercialized products from 1989 to 1996. As Manager of Product Development in three successive orthopedic divisions at Dow / Wright., Mr. Russell oversaw the design and commercialization of numerous new products, which resulted in an increase in sales from $85 million to $125 million between 1993 and 1996.

In 1996, Mr. Russell left Wright Medical Technology to form Spinal Innovations, LLC, which designed and manufactured spinal fusion implants. With the ability to quickly design, patent, test and obtain FDA approval for its products, Spinal Innovations successfully licensed technology to larger companies, which provided excellent revenue. Mr. Russell greatly enjoyed both the entrepreneurial aspect of the business and the innovative research and design in which the company engaged. Spinal Innovations achieved annual product sales of over $40 million, and in 2005 was sold to the German orthopedic company Aesculap.

Thereafter, Mr. Russell formed Arc Resource Capital, LLC in 2005 to provide a funding vehicle for entrepreneurs with promising ideas and for new companies requiring capital for start up or to overcome critical hurdles post start-up. Mr. Russell currently owns and manages Arc Resource Capital, LLC, Home Stretch Media, LLC, and America’s General Contractor, LLC He specializes in mechanical engineering, intellectual property submissions and evaluations, and fundraising. He is passionate about helping entrepreneurs and new companies succeed.
