Freewebs Improves, I Set Up a Page

Recently I noticed an article on Mashable about improvements on the site Freewebs. Four months ago I had fiddled with a site there and became totally annoyed with it. This morning I decided I was going to try once more. Well now I have a new page to show off.

As I have on other pages I used photo blurs from "Dirty Linen Night." They worked out well with a template I chose and avatar I chose. In fact I didn't have to change any CSS code. The template I used does have that option. So, click on the link below to see my latest page.

What is nice about Freewebs. is that a lot of tabs are set up as a default, i.e., a blog, a guestbook, a profile, etc. There is also the ability to add a range of widgets, polls and questionnaires as well as maintain a forum.

Dot Art Hands On Workshop

This past Thursday I conducted a “hands on” workshop with my fellow artists of ARTinA (Art in Algiers). First I discussed the artists that influenced my dot art and then showed some examples of my completed works. Next I demonstrated how to use wood dowels with cotton to paint different patterns. After that, all of us painted on small canvases that were provided for the workshop. For more information see my blog dot art.

Art Display at East Jefferson General Hospital

This month my painting, "Code Pink", is on display in a window art display next to the gift shop at East Jefferson General Hospital. Several artists are participating.

Puppy Whining

Since joining YouTube on May 30, 2006 I’ve uploaded thirty-eight videos. Twenty-four of them documented a litter of puppies over a seven-week period. The videos were dedicated to artistic expression. In the last two weeks my video, “Puppy Whining” (see below), became my most viewed video on my channel. As of right now the video stands at a whopping 934 views. The next highest video is one of two guys breakdancing at Mardi Gras, called “Operation Dance.” It has 713 views.
