Shameless plug I know...
To Raineypark, and those who wonder if I will ever graduate well...my new website is finally up. [santa_cheesy][santa_shocked] [that's actually how I've looked the past few days, sans santa hat...lack of sleep + web programming is a very scary thing.]
Warning: You will need a more current Adobe Flash player (version 8 or up) to view. Info and links to obtain a 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/ (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/)
No templates...I built this all from ground up. Similar theme to previous site in some ways, but different...new color scheme, updated concept, and I have new logo, etc...and some new pieces no one has ever seen. And there is a smattering of Grayson-art I've posted here in the past...
My printed portfolio was judged the other day - got an A [shocked]. But I had to tweak the website before I shared with anyone. Time for chocolate, and a nap...

Very nice, Heather! And...
lack of sleep + web programming is a very scary thing
...I feel your pain. [santa_wink]

Hooray!!!!! Just when I thought you had decided to chuck the Art gig and become a plumber or something!!!!!
Love it, love it, love it!!! Makes me wish I had a business so I could hire you to do wonderful graphics for me. Alas, no such luck. But I absolutely promise that I WILL show up for your first show in a New York Gallery!!
Go out there and knock 'em dead, kid!! [santa_thumb]

Amazing portfolio, Heather-- both the presentation and the artwork. Though I can't say I'm surprised that you have come so far.
BTW, I recall the Newsweek article ("Lollipops and Lawsuits") about the marketing suit over the cancer drug-- from several months ago, I think-- and that very cool graphic. Was that your design?
Congratulations on your A! The self-portraits are my favorites.

WOW - thanks so much guys... xo
...I feel your pain. [santa_wink]
yup...especially when you get into that special place where you think all the bugs are worked out and you have to keep going back and tweaking things 20 times over... ;)

Thanks much Rainey :-*
I've wanted to have a career in art since I was 4 or 5 (precocious I know) so it's unlikely I would've drastically changed majors. Plus, I am as stubborn as hell...even if I were faced with multiple obstacles, I would pull a Grayson and stick to it.

not sure I'll get that far, but thanks...I'll make a mini Barnabas cake for you that you can stake if you do. >:D

I am surprised...I wasn't sure I would live to see this day for a while...

If it was something professionally published--nope, not mine (or at least it shouldn't be.) what I have on the site and in my portfolio is all my own work...I did the illustration by hand, scanned it in, and then redid the layout of the article with a special type treatment...(it was part of a class final, so I have proof of all this ;))
I don't recall seeing something like this anywhere else (the original article I redesigned had no graphics other than a small picture of the prescription - I could send you a scan of it)...but if someone is using my work without my permission I'd really appreciate knowing where and when...
Congratulations on your A! The self-portraits are my favorites.
Really? [blushing] Thanks...xo
p.s. Did anyone have any trouble with any of the links, especially in the portfolio subdivisions? Where I have the little squares that you click on to see the artwork and whatnot? I slightly tweaked it so that the square buttons that link to artwork are a darker color. I thought it would make it easier to see how many pieces are in a given category and where you should click....if that makes any sense... [santa_undecided]

Why do I strongly suspect Raineypark would absolutely love that?! [santa_grin]

It definitely makes sense, but I didn't have any problems. Though that may be because I have an LCD monitor with a nice level of contrast.
