What a mess in here…

Whoa, this place is a mess. Looks like someone left the window open, and hasn’t been around for ages. There are all these half-realized ideas just tossed in a corner, and look at that stack of unposted images — I mean jeez, couldn’t someone have put them up on the wall or something? Now they’re all torn, and yellowing at the corners. No one will want to look at them now.
Give me a little while to get things cleaned up in here. There are cobwebs and junk everywhere. Looks like someone’s been spending too much time next door, and not enough time actually working.
Personally, I blame the weather. Once the snow melts, and things begin to dry out, there should be a little more traffic in here.
Interestingly, this post is a good analogy of things not going on in my studio. As soon as the weather gets good again, I’ll be in there, sweeping up, and working on some more art. Maybe even get my bike down off the ceiling.

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.
