From blah to ahhh

Off

Now this is alright. Got some Miles Davis/Thelonius Monk playing in the house, and I’m sitting on the back patio, reading a book and drinking a Red Cap while some corn-on-the-cob is smoking away on the barbecue. Got some veggie burgers waiting, and some new BBQ sauce recipe at the ready.
R’s trying out her hammock again (Hammmer pants). Looks like she put it too high up on the tree and is now lowering the ropes a bit.
Athena’s sitting on the porch/patio with me; she’s keeping an eye on the garden, which is growing out of control. I really haven’t paid any attention to it at all this summer, and will probably let it grow wild until it snows.
Things are nice right now.

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.
