Koken

I just re-created my website using Koken, a super-user-friendly and, even better, completely FREE cms with beautiful (also completely FREE) templates for portfolio websites. I've been looking for something like this for years because while in the past I could put together a pretty nice site, especially if I could use Flash, technology has finally made the web too complex a place for me to craft a beautifully designed site that can be viewed across all browsers and devices and still do all the things I'd like my site to do. Plus oh my God this saved me time. I'm an artist, not a programmer, sheeesh.

I need to write an artist statement of some kind so there's a little bit more to chew on. And finish more paintings, but that goes without saying.

Here's a link to the new site.

Nugget of wisdom

I called my Dad today to wish him a happy father's day, and during the course of our conversation he threw out this awesome adage:

"Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes."

Brilliant.
