Giving thanks & goodbye Troquevision.com!
Alas, Thanksgiving is here, and though I am in a current state of busy-ness, I have to remember all the good things I’m thankful for.
For starters, I have a wonderful honey with whom I share a beautiful home in a very social neighborhood in Oakland. We have a house full of fur - er, critters who in their own unique ways, provide us with much entertainment.
Creative Path Studio was launched as a direct manifestation of my intention and desire to live an authentic and purpose-filled life. I’m still in the process of defining my purpose but I am getting closer.
Additionally, I’ve officially registered Creative Path Studio as a business in Alameda County. So far, the main focus of the business has been freelance design but I see myself branching out at some point.
Design design design!
I’ve been a bit negligent of my blog because of two freelance design projects that had deadlines this week. It was a bit of a challenge but I got them done. Well, I should clarify that they’re almost done.
One of the projects is Brock Art Studio, the website of my friend & artist, Jeff Brock.
This is a CSS-based table-less design, which may mean absolutely nothing to most people out there, but for web designers, CSS is THE standard for design.
Overall, I am happy with the site, but more importantly, so is Jeff. It’s a work in progress… (of course)
Jeff also happens to be married to one of my favorite people, Star Liana York, a Santa Fe based sculptor with whom I worked for when I lived in New Mexico. She is one of the most talented, nicest, down-to-earth people one could ever meet.
And yes, I also designed Star’s website. Star’s site happened to bring me the other project I’ve been working on, a site for a gallery using the same backend Masterpiece database that Star’s site uses.
The Gallery at Hawthorne contacted me through my link on Star’s website. After talking about their needs and wants for the project, I gave them an estimate, and well, the rest is history.
Again, this was a table-less design. Go CSS!!
Goodbye Troquevision.com!
It is the end of an era. This week, I let my troquevision.com hosting account expire. It was a good site, one that I used to experiment and learn about website design and development. As it was, the site was really just a web album for familly and friends to peruse through. Regardless, it was a fun place to explore.
