Working Hard on the Garage

Cleaned out the garage last night, and sorted all the junk in there. Got a make-shift studio setup at the back, so I can get back into painting. Been spending all day today working on the holes in the floor (there was a lot of concrete which was crumbling). Someone must have been storing a car in there over the winter (as I type this, I’m smacking myself in the head — it IS a garage you idiot). But there was a lot of work to be done on the floor, and I’m really getting into this whole “working with concrete” thing… Looks like I have a new medium to be artistic with. I managed to get half of the garage done, and just need to make some finishing touches, let it dry, then move everything over, and get to work on the other side. This is phase 1 of my whole refinishing plan.

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.
