Viva Cuba!

HUZZAH! I’ve returned!
So many stories to tell… so many new friends… I don’t know where to start! For now, I’ll leave these two images, and I’ll get the rest uploaded when I can. For now, try to fill your minds with tropical resorts, steam engines, catamaran voyages, iguana islands, rainforest tours, sugar cane plantations, 1950s American cars, Soviet military trucks, and wacky tourists.

Of course, there were bucketfulls (bucketsfull?) of beer. Cristal is something like the national brand of beer in Cuba, and it’s available everywhere for US$1.50. Although Cristal is not likely to win any kind of international awards, when you’re out in the sun all day, there’s nothing that beats it.

Remember this one thing when travelling in foreign countries. No matter how hot it gets, always look cool.

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.
