W. N. Hodgson – Website
This week I’ve been working on a bit of web design, it’s a site for a book ‘Climb Black Sail For Me’ based on the far too brief a life of W. N. Hodgson.
It was a fun site to work on, especially trying to create a pen and ink map for the header – actually it was one of those ideas that comes to you and you have to stop everything else until you’ve tried it out 
glad I did now. Hopefully the website will spark plenty of interest in the book and we’ll see it on the shelves sometime soon, it’s such a shame that people like W. N. Hodgson who in the midst of fighting for his Country in some horrific conditions can still create wonderful poetry yet is not all that well known. When the weather is right I plan on wandering up Black Sail myself If you have a moment though, pass on the link to this site you everyone you know http://www.w-n-hodgson.info/ and perhaps it won’t be too long until the book is on the shelves.
A portfolio of doubt
Or should that be I doubt I’ll ever finish my online portfolio I had intended finishing my own portfolio many Moons ago but one thing gets in the way of another and I must admit I get easily distracted – especially by pencils and shiny toys. Anyway, I have received an increased number of messages asking when it would be completed. I was especially pleased to receive the email asking if I was going for the longest running holding page in history as the coming soon page did have a few cobwebs on it So, this week, having lost my voice thanks to a virus and being unable to stand up without watching the World spin about my head (that same fun virus), I decided it was time to put the finishing touches to the portfolio.
It still has a long way to go, and I have loads of images yet to sort out and upload, but it is now online and useable. The good part about this for me at least is I can get back to using the blog part of my site as somewhere to write and ruminate without posting page after page of photographs I am still looking for a good way of getting some of the images as purchasable items, but it’s not something I really want to rush into and start churning out poor quality pieces – when I find a solution I’ll mention it here – if I remember.
So, click here to go to the portfolio or click the relevant option in the menu above.
Garden Buzz
There’s not much to see there yet, but it’ll grow like our garden… garden buzz.
La Communauté Fantastique – Website
The La Communauté Fantastique website is near enough completion to call it finished, it was particularly enjoyable to work on – especially getting to paint the dragon for the logo There is still some work to do adding a few items to the blog section and the gallery looks a little empty right now, but that will soon change
