Yes, it’s true I’m afraid. I’ve been slacking in the blog department. But I promise, it’s only because all my creative efforts have been in trying to re-design my online portfolio. You can find it here at: www.kelleyfrisby.com At the time of it’s creation, the website that is, I had this vision of a little girl coloring and painting on the living room floor. While that worked for my index or home page, I wanted my portfolio section to really stand out. So I came up with the brilliant idea of having that same little girl’s drawings framed on the wall.

That little girl being an illustrated version of myself, I thought, “oh, how cute that’ll be…I can shrink down my actual paintings and put them inside the frames, then people can click on them and see the painting at a larger size.” While I was able to get it to work, it wasn’t up to the standard I had anticipated. It loads slowly, quite a few of my pictures are just terribly poor quality (either that or they were scanned and didn’t come out as I’d hoped), etc.

Anyway, to make a long story short, there are aspects of the website that I have never been truly happy with, and because this is supposed to be a reflection of the best work that I can do, I felt a whole new look was in order. So I started brainstorming, and created a whole new look for my site. I have to tell you, I’m so excited about what I’ve been working on so far, that if for whatever reason it doesn’t come out like I’ve envisioned, I’m gonna be all butt-hurt. (Giggles while typing) anyway here’s a little preview of my concept sketches. Believe me, I know they’re not much, but this is the way I work…roughing things out initially with thumbnails and then going crazy designing my characters and their environment. As always, ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
