Wax-and-wane.org

[helenic]

After the best part of a month of what's felt like non-stop work on it, my art portfolio, wax-and-wane.org, is online. Feel free to pass the link on to anyone you think might be interested.

And because I'm forever optimistic: if, after looking at it, you want to ask me about a commission or make an offer for any of my stuff, I will love you forever. If you were already considering commissioning me feel free to let me know you're still interested and what sort of budget and timescale you're on.

Right! Now that that's done, I can start doing things like actual painting (and posting regularly to livejournal again for the first time in weeks. You lucky, lucky people). Yay! Painting! Considering I gave up academia to become a professional freelance artist, what with modelling and making websites I haven't actually done that much art yet. This is all about to change :)

Heck, that's a really nice site.

Thats such a pretty site :) thinking i should get you to do a picture of me for adam's next birthday (which is 51 weeks away!) but i need to think about it first :)

should point out you've got a typo in your info section, in iconography, where you've spelt producing as produving!

Also:

"Use the links at the bottom view menus" - missing a 'to'?

"individual pages will appear in this window." - it's all in one window. You mean frame, but I'd just say 'will appear here' or possibly 'will appear on the right'.

"Helen is a druid, a saxophonist, a folk singer, and a lover of corsetry, art galleries, river pubs, religious texts and real ale. When not making art she works as a fetish model." - this is brilliant. The next time anyone asks me about my gf, I'm just going to paste them that :-D

There's something else I want to talk to you about re: the site / your art!work, but not on a public post... remind me at the party, if you remember :)

Thanks for those - edited and corrected :)

I'm worried now re. the last thing ... am I doing something wrong?

*kisses* see you soon :)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I've corrected it :)

By all means think about it - drop me a comment or email if you want to chat to me about it, and we can chat about what sort of thing you might want and how much it might cost. :)

I've drawn adam before (http://www.fox-fires.org/lj/asw909-drinking.JPG), so it shouldn't be a problem.

the only the wrong with that is hes holding beer, not vodka!

and for a birthday pressie the picture would have to be a of me in a provocative pose ;)

Good lord, you still had that? That takes me back a long while :D

(Website looks great, btw)

Pretty :)

Yay. :-) :-) :-)

I believe, incidentally, that the picture frame has now been made. In fact I know it has. All being well, The Rising of the Sea should (finally!) be hanging in our house within a month. Sorry it's taken so long!!

Site looks good, I like the monochrome approach.

One thing wrt the legalities, I'm assuming that you've gone the sole trader route. I know a sole trader is required to print name and address on all business stationery, but I'm not sure if the same applies to websites. You might want to check on that, I didn't see it on there but may have missed it.

*sighs wistfully* how I wish I could get some web design work.

Site looks stunning, as does much of the content.
