Now there are even more website updates. I have been diligently keeping track of my web stats and am happy to say that traffic tripled last month and in just today I am already at half of last month. Matter of fact, traffic is double that of last month, and it's only the 15th. Any suggestions on making the site more user friendly are welcome. There is a new contact page and new links for flash galleries. Other than this, I have been working hard in the yard (we have a new house with dirt for grass) and gearing up for the Superhero project. Last but not least is this new News section. Unfortunately no pics can be added to this new form, but I will be able to update this page from any comp at anytime now, so watch out!

This is a new and updated website, offline for almost 3 months. The new features include flash galleries for almost all of my work, simply click an image and a new window will open with the photo gallery. Also is a links section, for anything I find interesting or helpful in art making. Let me know if you want to be included.
