Hi all...
This is kinda OT, but it features some GraysonArt (and a B&J piece) and whatnot, so it's somewhat related...
I've been very remiss in posting...anything...lately, and this is one reason why:
http://hrh22.home.comcast.net/
I've lost months of my life creating a brand new portfolio site. ;) ;D
Note: You MUST have the free macromedia/adobe Flash player installed on your computer in order to view the site correctly. Info and links to obtain this free web player (if one doesn't already have it) for various computer platforms can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
It was a difficult course (one where I was learning a whole new set of programs and designing everything by hand and, in my case, teaching myself everything all over again that I didn't understand. Why yes, I am as stubborn and persistent as Julia, in a way...)
Suffice to say I didn't use templates, so it was a real learning experience. I think the left and right side of my brain developed a few new wrinkles, and I think I've upped my already high geek factor a few more notches. This new format will hopefully enable me to update the site more often than before - which was never (my last portfolio site has been down since I changed ISP's.) :-[
Thank you for your time, and now back to your regularly scheduled and fascinating DS themed dicussions... :-*

Beautiful work, Heather - both your artwork and the site's design. [thumb]

Heather--- What a very polished and professional graphic artist you are, and yet you have not neglected your healthy nutsy side, as evidenced by the surreal drawing I came upon. I'm intimidated by your professionalism. Polish isn't necessarily what I'm ultimately going for in what I try to do, in drawing, but it bothers the f out of me that I can't do it yet. You have to be able to master something beforte the choice not to do it is legitimate at all. And you know, i want the polish. A great deal of the time. This post is mostly about me, isn't it? Anyway, great work.

Very impressive, Heather. Congrat's on your accomplishment! :D

Many thanks for the kind comments...I was about ready to give up on this project times than I care to count, so it means a lot. xo

Fantastico! :D
-
Just saw your site Heather. Great work. I hope the site helps in promoting your skills as a designer.

Many thanks Midnite , Jackie...
Just found out I got an A in that class (it was situation where what one got on the website was...a major factor in one's final grade in the class ;)) and that I made the deans list again.
[pardon my toches as I do a happy dance for 2 seconds]
okay, back to work... [artist] [44]
hugs,
Heather

Congrats, Heather. [thumb] And if I had been your prof., I would have given you an A too because I think your work definitely deserved it. :)

If you're not getting enough feedback, it may be because if someone sees work that looks professional, he/she may categorize the artist as someone who's been a professional for years, in other words, someone who doesn't really necessarily need support or encouragement. That's the impression I formed.

Wow - Thanks MB [blushing] :-*

um...I was just passing along some news. ???
I wasn't intending to sound desperate for feedback. If I came across that way, I am sorry...

I'm very sorry if I gave an impression of believing that you were somehow being "needy"... I took it for granted that everyone needs a certain amount of validation. I think that people never lose their need for a certain amount of it. If I made it sound as if you need that more than you actually do, sorry. It's cool to announce a personal creative accomplishment, and get feedback.

CONGRATULATIONS, HEATHER!!!
