Updated “Artwork” page
I finally got off my butt and fixed up the “Artwork” page so that it actually displays… my “artwork”! I had used an old plugin that just never worked, so I replaced it with actual links to the images on DeviantArt.com. I kind of got pretentious calling it “art”, I’ve never considered myself an “artist”, I’m just a “painter”. To me, an artist creates new things of beauty, whereas a painter recreates what he sees using paint. And I’m okay with that. I’d love to be able to create beauty using paint, but I don’t have the skills, nor the time to develop them, and so here are a few of the things that I’ve done down through the years.

Well, you did it, you hacked me
Don’t know who, or how, but congratulations, you got in. Thank you for not defacing my page, I guess you did it for the lulz, not because you have anything personal against me (how could you, I don’t even know you!). I presume you left some backdoor in somewhere, since WordPress isn’t the most perfectly secure site, so you’ll probably get back in, but I’m not going to make it easy for you.
If anything does happen to this site, or anyone reading sees something they didn’t expect (or seems out of character for those who DO know me), understand that someone probably got in, in order to mess with me. I’ll be watching for the next go-around.
