I've made some small changes to Siteway over the past few weeks. Do let me know if anything seems out of place on your browser. I have some additional tweaks in mind. Siteway has become very much a working site, even more than it had become, and overall I'm still very happy with the tone herein. One day soon I'd like to take Siteway to a place where an HTML/CSS/Ajax superstar can help me takes things even further. Ideally this will happen in early 2008. If you are said superstar, get in touch. ¶ I'm marketing myself as a P.I., a private illustrator, not just because I like film noir (though I can't deny its influence). I've long talked about how I have attempted to model my career on independent professionals like the working actor. Though there are many one-man shows, the private investigator has captured the imagination of story-tellers more per capita than all other freelancing careers combined. That's just conjecture. I believe it to be true, though, for all the obvious reasons and some less obvious ones. One less obvious reason is they typically embody the tension between, on the one hand, the law, the mainstream, the expected, and on the other, the truth. In other words, they're on the margins, self-sustaining and yet unselfish. And, while I can't claim to hold this position, I can certainly aspire to it. ¶ Watch for some of my illustrations in the upcoming Rich Lists issue of Forbes, hitting newsstands in late September.
