I have a new door.

I have a new door.
Well, the toil was worth the trouble. My new studio door is in place and looking good. I’m going to get a picture uploaded later, but once the hinges were screwed in, the rest of the door stayed level and plumb. The concrete screws worked really well, and I even used some larger 1/4″x3″ screws to hold the deadbolt in place, not that a door with a big window is very secure to begin with. I also emptied a whole can of expanding foam in the cavities around the frame, which is a whole lot better insulation than the previous door had (read: no insulation). It seals well, swings open just fine, and you can even slam it when you’re mad.
This weekend, weather-permitting, I’ll get the window put in place, and maybe even finish up insulating the loft.

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.
