Fiddling With The Site

I used to make a habit of it back in the day—restless tinkering, never quite being satisfied. In the last decade, although this site has been through a number of changes, I’ve been less inclined and not even sure what purpose the site served. For a long time the Portfolio section attempted to be an all-encompassing summary of everything I supposedly do, for example, and it never quite worked. So this time out I have focused it just on my artwork.

LOL, look—some people think my artwork is crap! But I have as much right as anyone to improve. I believe my portrait work has improved significantly in the last six years. Overall my stuff has enjoyed a more modest improvement. No doubt I have weak areas. But it makes sense to me to focus the Website on something in particular. It gets messy otherwise.

Paul Gravett’s Brum Visit

This was a great opportunity to pose for an awkward selfie with me squinting at the camera screen…

Note my Darkseid badge! I brought Paul one too. After eating, I had a “commission” to do…

Blog Offline: Coming Back Soon?

Well, seeing as how I haven’t posted since October 2024 (backdated posts notwithstanding)! I’m deciding what to do with it. It occurred to me that as of December, it’ll be TWENTY-FIVE YEARS since I started doing this “blogging” thing… obviously, I’ve had a number of extended breaks and a handful of reboots (and the complete archive of posts hasn’t been online for a number of years), but it’s been on the same URL since the spring of 2003!!
