Where's the Artwork?
A friend of mine just asked me if the EsoGalleries represent a good percentage of my work to date. Will I ever add anything new, or do I have other art that hasn't been posted yet? Well, the answer is yes. I have tons of art I simply need to scan and add to the galleries. The most troublesome part of this process is updating the database. Some of my work was created many years ago, and I can't remember enough about it to write anything interesting. With the new database structure, I have several fields to fill with information about the artwork. It is such a pain to come up with something to write. Writing is not my strong suit. No wonder I don't have more people reading my blog! I know, I have a tendency to be long winded... and most people on the internet simply don't have the patience to read anything longer than 30 words or so. :) But hey, that's my style!
The artwork on Esotropiart is also not representative of my skill or ability. Not to say that I have any special skills in art, but much of what is out in the galleries right now is old and childish, a lot of doodles on scratch paper. Most of my work is somewhat goofy anyway, but I do have some pieces that I consider worth looking at. My goal in creating this site Is not to present myself as a master artist, but to showcase everything I've ever done, even if it is when I was a child. Part of the theme of Esotropiart is that life is a process. Even the art itself demonstrates this. Eventually there will be ways to sort the galleries by creation date. I will probably also create a rating system so that the most liked images would be given display priority, etc. Ah, well see. I can only do one thing at a time. Right now I'm mostly working on making EsoBlog a full-featured blog.
