Artwax

A few  weeks ago I put out a call for artists who use encaustic/wax in their artwork. I am looking to form a group in South Florida so that we can exchange info, start workshops and create our own group shows. If you are in the South Florida area and interested please send me an email. I know you are out there!!!!

Thanks to everyone for letting me know that my web site was down. Since I run it on  my own server I can’t tell if it works. So with that fixed please click to view it. www.ajgrossman.com

Okay, it is just a start, my web site is up and running. I didn’t realize how much stuff I had. First I needed to sort all of my work and catalog it (something I always put off for later, but now I realize I need to do it every week) , Then I had to sort out my work by medium. Then I had to sit and build the site (I hate doing that). So I just kept it basic and simple. It is about the artwork and not the site design. Then I had to make sure it can run on several browsers. This is the hardest part since it is on my own server, I have to take my laptop to a place that has wifi so that I can view it, as I discovered that you can’t see the website when you are running it on your own network (I am not that technical but something like that) Now I just have to discipline myself to update it on a regular basis. So go to www.ajgrossman.com and thanks for looking.

I have finally decided that it is time to build a website to showcase my work. I have been putting it off for over a year. I have designed many websites over the past few years and have decided that “I hate it”. As a former art director and graphics designer, one would think that it would be just another creative “thing” for me. In the past the web sites that I designed were for doctors, consultants, non-art related businesses. Real boring stuff. I even took a course to learn dreamweaver so that I would not have to deal with”code”, but I learned nothing. (the teacher only wanted to teach color theory to all these techies in the class as I was the only artist). So with that all said, I dread the job ahead of me. But I know that it is important for me to help promote my artwork. If anyone knows of a create program that can help me do this task, I am all ears?
