How to lose me as a customer

I'm finally getting back to work on my gallery website.  I tried it first two summers ago, and was ultimately defeated by my own ambition.  This time, no flash is going to be involved at all.  Just a simple, aesthetic layout in Dreamweaver, using Lightbox2 to showcase images.  My writing will go up on it too.
What spurred me to get on it again?  Well, my domain name registration expired.  I'd been waiting for this, because I originally got it using GoDaddy, as it had been the only registry I had heard of.  Then I got blasted with some of their ridiculously gross, sexist commercials.  Decided I didn't want to send any more money that way.  I canceled (after having them unsuccessfully try and charge my credit card for re-registry behind my back) and now it has been several weeks of waiting for my domain to free up so I can register with DynamicDolphin.  Is it supposed to take this long?  Seriously not amused.
But anyway.  Here is a doodle from one of my sketchbooks, done in cafĂ© Tryst a few weeks ago.  Ballpoint pen and white coloured pencil on recycled brown paper.

Alchemy


If I don't post this now, I will forget. A two-and-a-half month dry spell, then four in one day. I'm afraid this is what I do.
This is the third state of a print I have been working on for a while. I might have posted the first state here... I'm really not sure. In any case, it is a drypoint print, on arches cover cream, 9 x 12". The title is 'Avia Sophia'. It is, as I implied, still in progress, but I am fairly happy with where it is right now.
Refer to the title of this post for purposes of interpretation.

Enamel




Or email, in German. I'm taking a class called 'The printed image in enamel', my first involvement with the medium. It is highly enjoyable. I particularly love the different variations achievable through the manipulation of flux. The accompanying pieces were created using a liquid hard flux, a powdered flux, liquid white, opaque grey and just a touch of a pale translucent blue.
