so i just launched my new website today, actually it’s more like a blog. i’ll probably try to improve it some more, but for the moment my scanner doesn’t work so i can’t do very much. i’m hoping it didn’t just die on me… i must give all the credit to my boyfriend for setting this up on wordpress, i couldn’t have done it without him.

we worked on the design together because two heads are better than one, but he came up with the idea of having a character in the corner that looks like he’s drawing the whole website. thanks boyfriend.

it was tough doing this because i had to go through all my old drawings that i’m really ashamed of. when i started trying to be an artist about two years ago i was having pretty bad health problems, and then during the last year i’ve been doing this hard-core raw food cleanse, which i’ve talked about before. i think it helped me get through this, but didn’t necessarily give birth to nice pieces of artwork. might sound like a lame excuse but it’s just true. since i became a lot healthier in the last few months, i’ve started improving very rapidly and now i’m starting to be a little prouder of my drawings. my sketches are a better representation of my current skill level. i think i’m going to have to re-draw all the rest. or just leave it there to rot. i just hate having those bad drawings hanging out on my site, they are not welcome here.

the old site had been designed by me about two years ago when i had no clue as how to do any coding. but i did learn a lot about web design this way. so the set-up was really boxy and even though i spent a lot of time trying to make it look pretty, it never really worked. i guess if you don’t do something well from the beginning it will end up slapping you in the face sooner or later. i’m really happy with it now, i hope you will be too.
