Closer

Today marked a big step towards making a web 2.0 site for my art ever so closer. Even though there were some problems with the copy I personally wrote (I hate writing about myself), it felt like site's launching was but a few days, if not a week and change, away. Then, the fun begins when I start plugging it in the social networks.

Exciting stuff.

My web designer did a pretty good job in picking out the colors, the art, and site layout that would help keep me painting, hopefully for the rest of my life. Judging from the reactions I've gotten from the steady stream of pen and ink drawings, acrylic paintings, and watercolor pieces with mix media in Facebook, I should be able to claim my own niche in the art world in no time at all.

The satisfaction is doubled when you stop and think that just months ago, I was still toiling away for my brother in a employer-employee relationship that saw me dabble in blogs and do work in the seedy underworld of Adult sites. Maybe it was titillating at the beginning, but eventually that material inevitably turns old with the occasional curiousness on my part on watching and writing about that type of material. It came as no surprise that my brother closed shop and decided to cut bait because he was losing his pants to some guy in Canada who defrauded him of money and oversold the profitability of these sites with hundreds, if not thousands, of these sites proliferating in the web.

I suppose it's not time to pop the champagne cork just yet, as the fine details still need to be worked out, and some more copy and material added. I cannot deny my excitement and giddiness though, as neither one of my siblings can say they have a personal site of their own with the talent to back it up.

I  can't wait.
