New site design!

A fancy new wrapper for your favorite art stuffs for 2011!

Hey gang, I’m pleased to announce a redesign of my site for the New Year. Not too much has changed in terms of content, but I’m finally getting closer to a look and feel I can be satisfied with for more than 5 minutes. If  you have any suggestions or rants, feel free to let me know: I’ll see what I can do. I have to give a great big shoutout to web developer Chris Brightwell who helped a great deal (see: I paid him to do it) with a lot of the coding and back-end frustrations from me not being a web developer. I highly recommend his awesome services to those with web development needs. Don’t forget to check out the store which has also been updated with a slick new wrapper. This in turn should stay busy churning out plenty of smallish drawings and paintings throughout 2011 for the fiscally conservative art buyer with an eye for pretty pictures.

I hope to be better about posting in 2011 with progress pics, new art and some more in-depth walkthroughs for some of my “techniques”. I’ve received many requests about the resin process, so I hope to have that up for you. Keep your eyeballs “peeled” as the kids say. Also I made the newsletter easier to access over there on the sidebar where it helpfully says “get the newsletter”. Now you can instantly sign up instead of my gauging whether or not you’ve expressed enough interest, or if I’ve asked you directly. The last thing I want to do is give you more spam. Well, maybe not the last. Killing puppies is probably the very absolute “last” thing.

Here’s some more art for your face, rather than just words. Here’s a new in-progress shot of a small painting for 100 Drawings, about 7.5 inches by 11, acrylic on paper.

Thanks again for all the support as always, and best wishes to everyone in 2011!

It’s alive…

…and kicking.

So! Finally switched everything over. The old flash-based site that was oh so late 90′s is now dead and buried. This is the new hotness, whether you like it or not. Much easier to update, much easier to maintain. Also fits my obsessive compulsive desire to totally change stuff when the mood strikes. Go CSS! So, as usual, hang out here, look around, lots of shows coming up as well as the birth of my son in late August! Excitement is not really even the right word. I would say totally rad, but that seems lame too. Regardless, big happenings in the next few months. Show info very soon, I promise! Just as soon as we get back from Chicago. Gonna go spend some time in the Windy City, as I’ve never been but Ginger and everyone says I would love it. Will see Josh Clay hopefully when we’re there and talk art stuffs. Not too long though, as again it is our anniversary, which is usually the few moments Ginger doesn’t get bombarded with art crap.

Well, not too much anyway.

Hope you like the new design and banner. I’m still tweaking elements, but would love to know what everyone thinks. I’ll be sending out a newsletter soon to update everyone on the goings on.

Pardon the dust…

…the site’s under a bit of construction.

Yes, I’m finally getting my butt in gear and updating the website. You likey?

Goodbye my dearest out-of-date Flash pain-in-the-ass website. Hello sweet all-in-one WordPress deliciousness. As you can see, I’ve compiled a bunch of work that was all over and am updating this site as the main feedbag for your art hunger. Keep coming back here for now until I figure out how to transfer everything over under the ubiquitous www.ncwinters.com. Fun.
