I know this isn’t really art news, but I wanted to make sure this was prominent enough to get noticed. And I’m tired of seeing the same post on the main page all the time.

In case you didn’t know, I have a number of sites and blogs I maintain, each with different purposes. Lately I’ve been so busy building the business that I haven’t had time to update this site much, but I have been posting other items all over the place. Here’s a list of where to find me:

iMakeArt – A more general purpose site about me and my conceptual art

A7is – My portfolio site for more commercial works

Ottawa Video Production (and more) Blog – The official Hotcakes blog where I talk about business related announcements and articles

In addition to those sites, there’s also the Hotcakes twitter account @HotcakesOttawa that gets updated several times a day and the Hotcakes Facebook Fan page for major announcements.

So there you have it. Now you can follow me everywhere I digitally go.

The design creates a sense of wonderment about what is real and what isn’t, and makes us wonder if we really are alone. The artwork is deliberately dark, sketchy and “grungy” at the bottom to mirror the dark graveyard and subject matter, but gradually becomes cleaner, softer and more open at the top, to give a sense of hope.
