The WWW
There are external links from this site, to sites that I have found useful, inspiring, entertaining or interesting. These are not my sites, and for the benefit of those who need to be reminded of the screaminly obvious, I have no control over their content. These links may cease to work in the future - I check them from time to time, but if you find one, do let me know.
Abstract Art
"A picture speaks a thousand words" is more than just a cliche. That is why we have pictures. I can answer questions about my art, along the lines of "How did you create this?", even "Why did you create this?". But there is no answer to the question "What is it?". (The advent of digital viewing at least rules out the question "Which way up does it go?"). It is a visual stream of conciousness, every viewer could have a unique interpretation. That's cool, just don't ask me to justify it. Oh, and if I do fall into the trap of answering, don't tell me I'm wrong. Thank you.
Communication
In order to create a site, an image, or a shiny thing you like, I need to know what you like. Requests to "just make it look fantastic", will result in a site that looks fantastic to me. If I don't know what looks fantastic to you, my results may differ from your expectations.
Gibberish
I do my best to steer away from littering my discussions with seemingly meaningless accronyms and jargon. While some see it as a sign of intellectual prowess, it does lead to enormous misunderstanding. If I do this unwittingly, please say, especially if our communication is not face-to-face, I won't see the tell-tale glazed fear of appearing foolish by asking.
I like analogies, but am the first to admit they aren't for everyone. To literal thinkers they muddy up a previously held confusion to the point where everything falls apart. This benefits nobody.
