The design is simple and not overwhelming. It was designed to make the outer wrapper visible, but allow the inner content to really stand out, esspecially the photo choosen as the top photo on each page.

The site isn’t completely finished, and I will be adding new features and content as often as possible.

As I work on ramping everything up and getting better at all of this, I got a new toy. My first Wacom tablet. It is an Intous3 4×6. Pretty nice. Having never used a tablet before, I find that it was incredibley easy to use it for photo editing. I still need to work a bit on my drawing skills.

So I’ll give you a rundown of what I think. (more…)

The project? It’s a simple thing called “figure out how to market me.” And what does this entail? Well, basically everything that I would need to market any small business.

I guess at this point it would be good to step back and give you a bit of perspective. First off, I am an artist and a freelancer. As such I am able to base my business model and marketing plan on both principle and financial concerns. Not having to answer to the share holders is a great thing. And not having to make all of the choices by committee is a perk, too.

So sit back, strap in, and enjoy the ride.

First off, let me note that I am an employee of Boyne USA Resorts, the parent company of Boyne Mountain. That said, I will try to be as unbiased towards the company as possible in this and all future postings. It is thanks to my position as web developer/photographer to the company that I am allowed to have such privileges. (more…)

So hello, and I hope you all enjoy!
