Trying to stay busy

R’s been busy with bellydancing, and her MBA and volunteer work, so I haven’t been seeing here as often as I’d like. I’ve been trying to stay busy this past couple of weeks, with house-upkeep, hobbies, work, etc.
I’ve been spending more time on my art blog recently because some art interest has come up suddenly. I’m in another show (it’s a one night show at the Walper), so I’ve been working on getting things presentable. This, in turn, has gotten me hammering the studio into shape; last night I was working at getting some more insulation into the cracks, and stapling vapour barriers into the remaining places, in preparation for some drywalling. I know, it’s taking forever to get this done.
I specifically bought a catalytic propane heater for the studio, and it’s been helping keep out the cold. I think I’ll be able to work over the winter in the studio without too many problems. Also, now that the old garage door has been replaced with a proper set of entrance doors, with nice windows, I can enter and leave without having to clear a path to the back of the building.

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.
