Change And Create
Sooz asked yesterday if I drew the cartoons at the top of the posts over the last two weeks as part of the funniest trial period.
I don’t, but thanks for asking. I was reading a comic book to my son and the supporting protagonist (can you have that?) was called Cliff so I scanned in the frames and rearranged them so it looked like I planned it.
The strip ends tomorrow, by the way, but I won’t spoil it.
I’m not a really good drawer, but the illustration on this and my handwriting in the banner at the top of the page could have told you that.
I’m not very good at crafts either. But while I may put the crapbook in scrapbook, I’m pretty good at fixing things around the house. I can build walls, lay paving and generally be handy, and that’s creative. Watching a wall being built really well or an expert plasterer is no less a display of excellence than watching an artist at work.
So I’ve been making some changes to the blog. I’ve reduced the number of posts on the main page to 5 because the picture weight might mean slower loading times for people. You can still see the ten most recent posts in the nav and I added a recent comments section.
I’ve also started publishing in the evening (UK time) instead of mornings because I don’t post to this site while I am work. That whole Petite Anglaise thing scares the hell out of me and if employers are going to be that tetchy, there’s a lesson there for everyone. Courage, la Petite.
In the nav here you can also see some pics from flickr, so go in and have a look, leave comments, ask questions - whatever you think is right.
Tomorrow: Three Word Story.
