G-Rated

Even if you're not currently shopping for original artwork, I hope you'll continue to visit here from time to time if for no other reason, perhaps entertainment value. I'm sure this blog will be at least amusing. Not like my anonymous blog. For almost a year I had an anonymous blog, full of racy stories with lurid details. I had a decent-sized readership, especially when things got juicy. I stopped posting in it a couple months ago, altogether. Not because it wasn't fun. With Blogs, there is an unwritten ettique. No matter how interesting your blog is, as a rule, no one will read it, unless you read someone else's, and comment. Still not a problem, really. Being relatively anti-social, but still enjoying interesting and intelligent people, this was a good substitution for real-world friends. Why did I give it up? I am a very slow reader, and writer. It would take me an hour+ to make my post, and then much longer to read and comment on all my blog- friend's posts. Once I committed to daily painting, I just didn't have the time anymore. Aside from all that, It's somewhat of a let-down that one can't be truly anonymous on the Internet. I was romanced by the notion that I could reveal anything in my blog without fear, but the truth is that anything anyone posts on the Internet leaves an easily traceable trail to your front door. Word to the wise.
