Falernum #4

July 6, 2009

I went on a syrup-making kick earlier this summer, and had a bit of a spoilage problem.

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios. This can be a problem, since artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves, and aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I like, etc. In this case, 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.
