Um…hello.

So last night, I wrote a little entry about my cool encounter with a certain world-famous author. It was fun to write, and I thought there might be another fan or two of his who would find it via a Google alert or something, and maybe they’d get a kick out of it. I hit post, and went to bed.

It never once occurred to me that said author would not only read it, but then twitter about it. And suddenly, as if by magic, my blog hit counter stats have shot through the roof. Because apparently that’s what happens when an author with over 150,000 Twitter followers mentions your blog.

So. How ’bout them apples. Greetings to any Neil fans who may have liked the post enough to stick around for more. I’ll try to make it worth your while. And thanks to those who commented on the post in question—I was moved and flattered by all of them!

Happy birthday…

…little blog of mine. I started this thing a year ago with the hopes of posting twice a week, and have managed only a measly 30 posts so far. While I’ve managed to avoid the crash-and-burn of posting twice and never again that occurs with most blogs, it’s not like I’ve set a record for posting, either. So for those of you who are RSS subscribers, or who just make a point of checking in, I renew my commitment to providing more content on a regular basis. I’ve been experimenting quite a bit with digital painting lately and as soon as I finish one that doesn’t completely embarrass me, I’ll share the results.

And now a question: for those of you who are faithful readers, what’s the stuff you like the best? The ridiculously long and in-depth process stories? Or the quick-hit sketch posts? I’m basically trying to write the kind of blog that I myself would want to read, but I’m open for feedback. If you’ve got a preference, let me know in the comments section.

Big ups to Johnny over at Drawn! (one of my favorite websites for finding out about cool new artists), for featuring me a few days ago. I found out about it right as I was leaving on vacation, so I’ve only just now been able to get on the internet and check my blog and website stats. There was a HUGE increase in hits, so I appreciate the Drawn! love and hope some of you new visitors will continue to come by every now and then.

Blogging has been a bit sporadic lately due to little Miss Natalie the Great, as we like to call her. But I’m back in the studio now and working on some fun projects, so more art is coming soon.

Welcome

Who knew setting up a custom blog site would be so much work? I sure didn’t. So, I’d like to take a moment to recognize some people who helped out above and beyond the call of duty in getting this thing set up for me. First up is the hilarious and talented Chris Mundell, brother-at-arms in blogging and my own personal IT staff. Chris was blogging back before blogging was cool. Go check out his site and show him some love. Secondly, I’d like to say a public thank-you to Matt and David over at SRI Hosting, who host this blog. The personal attention I received from these guys was truly amazing—they’re the Dunder-Mifflin of web hosting, minus the moronic boss. Thanks guys! So if you’re starting your reading of this blog all the way here at the first post, I intend for this to be primarily an artblog, where I’ll post sketches, works in progress, and random thoughts on art and illustration. I may also go off on the occasional tangent or rant, just to keep things interesting. One commitment I’ll make: this is not going to be one of those blogs where months go by between posts. I can’t guarantee that I’ll post every day, but I’m going to make every effort to update at least once a week. Be sure to say hi from time to time in the comments.
