That’s right… Hotcakes New Media was created and registered this time last year. Since then, I’ve created a number of webpages for fundraising organizations (including Canadian Tire Jumpstart and Jump Rope For Heart), for companies (including Better Farming Magazine, Roco Trains and Cozumel Diving), and more. I’ve also shot an interview about torture for a producer in LA, helped finish the production of Real, and shot a music video. So what did I not do?

I finally managed to get my new portfolio site A7 is and this site synched up automatically. Now, when I post a new work on A7 is, the post should automatically carry over to iMakeArt as well, posted under Art News. The one glitch in the process is that any updates I make to the post at A7 is will NOT be carried over to iMakeArt. So please be sure to check the original post for all the latest news. Otherwise, enjoy the streamlined site.

I’ve set up a new domain and website for posting all my artwork. I needed a centralized place that had a visual impact and an image based navigation system, yet also allowed me to post the artwork’s concept and details. And most importantly, I wanted all that to be RSS trackable, and have comments to boot. The new site is up and running, and I encourage you to view my portfolio at the link above.

Want to see the full t-shirt design? Click the link below.

As you can probably tell, I’ve implemented a slightly new look to the site. It’s not a major change, but it does streamline the site a little bit and make it a little more visually interesting.

I hope you all like the changes. If you notice any issues, please get in touch with me.

I’ve finally gotten around to taking pictures of the house after all the work and design and decorating. The results were pretty astonishing, and I’m loving the house. I love the fact that I was able to design everything from the beginning the way I wanted instead of trying to fit my design around existing items. It gave me the opportunity to push my designs and build a space that was 100% mine. Want some pictures? Of course you do!

Yes, I am finally taking the time to write my “year in review” post. Hey, give me a break. It’s only 2 weeks late.

2008 was certainly a year of change for me; Not that any of the previous 5 years have been stale by any means, but 2008 was a year with large-scale scary decisions and accomplishments. How did I fare this year? Let’s find out.

The dreaded W3C standards; This is a topic I’ve been meaning to write about for a while now. With the official launch of Hotcakes New Media, it’s an issue that is once again at the forefront of my decision making process. What the hell is W3C? Why does it matter? And why does it annoy me so much? Read on.
