Simpsons avatars

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to know what I’d look like as a Simpsons character. Well, since the Simpsons started airing, that is — and the show’s been on so long that it’s hard to imaging a pre-Simpsons time.
Anyway, with all the movie hype that’s going on, you can actually go to their movie website and create your own avatar (and yes, download it too). I finally talked R into doing hers, and I came up with this lovely image:

Yes, well, there were limits on what you could do with the avatar (only a few body types, hair styles, facial features, etc.), so I look a lot more beefy here than in real life — although I have been going to the gym. And you only get to wear a t-shirt and plain pants. But limitations aside, it’s still one of the coolest avatars you can make online.
I’m waiting for the Family Guy avatars next.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
