Website Updates

I’ve been working on the office parts of my job for the last couple weeks, which is why I haven’t really been posting anything here on the blog. I have a whole list of things I want to draw, but I can’t start on it until I get through the neglected administrative tasks. So, anyway, I’ve been spending time updating my mailing lists and updating things here on the website,

But now I think I’m done with the website, and I thought I’d share and ask for feedback. Please take a look around and let me know if anything needs changing. (Especially if you find a typo!)

I completely changed the portfolio section based partly on advice I received at a recent portfolio review. I came up with a “Top 10” selection of images, then linked to additional, targeted portfolios in text links under that main portfolio. (Also accessible through the menu bar.) I did it that way because it I was really putting way too many images on my portfolio page. I mean, I love sharing all my work because I figure you never know what sort of images a client might be looking for. But it was just too much for one page. Anyway, this new way I still get to share all my best work for people who are interested in it all, but I’m not overwhelming art directors who just want a summary of my work. It also lets me point specific art directors to particular targeted portfolios if I think that will fit better with what they’re looking for. Or, that’s the intent anyway. I’ll see how it works when I start sending out my promo emails on, probably, Friday

I also drastically slashed my super-wordy Intro page to just the bare bones. And I added some new graphics that I thought were fun.

I’d love it if you’d go take a look at both pages and let me know what you think.

Oh, and here’s one thing I did make today. A drawing of the wacom stylus that I use with my cintiq.

Site’s Finished!

I think I finally got the website finished like I want it. New logo, new theme, same me. Take a look around and let me know what you think.

Updated Portfolio on Website

I spent the day updating my portfolio on my website.  Anybody want to take a peek and let me know what they think?  I love getting constructive criticism.  (well, not really, but I appreciate it because I know it’s good for me)  Here’s the link.

Gosh, has it really been that long?

I went and updated my website today.  I added a few images to my online portfolio.  Nothing big.  When I added a note to the “What’s New” page for what I changed, I realized it’s been MONTHS since I touched the website at all.  Like, six months.  Geez.  I need to do better than that.  Not that I haven’t been doing stuff, but nothing’s gone on the website.  So, anyway, I fixed that today at least.  🙂

Website Officially DONE!

Officially DONE with the website. All the code works. All the links are as they should be. I’ll still periodically add, edit, and remove content, of course, but the site itself is done!

If you want to take a look, it’s here:  http://www.karenbjones.com

Now I can get back to writing and illustration work.

Sneak Preview of My New Website Design

I’m redesigning my website.  Here’s a mock-up of what it will look like.  Click on the image for the full-sized version.  Next I have to convert it into HTML, CSS Stylesheets, and PHP in order to implement it.  🙂
