Web site launch!

My sister Siana and I have finally put together a web site of our art work. I'm really happy with the way the site turned out and can't wait to start designing another. This was the first actual site I've designed since my web design class and it was a lot of fun working on it.

Cool Site for Designers

I often surf the web for sites of other graphic/web design companies, fine artists etc. I just find it helpful and inspiring to see what other artsy folks are up to out there. So I just ran across a great site called Smashing Magazine that really does seem to smash you with all sorts of design info. The address is http://www.smashingmagazine.com/. I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly check it out yet. But from what I've seen so far it seems pretty cool and I thought I would share with anyone else who loves to learn more information on graphic and web design. And the cool thing about this site is that everything is combined into one site which then directs you to other interesting sites. Ok, so there is my shout out for the day. TTYL :)

Art Nouveau

Victor Horta was a Belian architect born in 1861. His style inspired modernists all over Europe and he captured the beauty of Art Nouveau with his beautiful curvilinear designs. His famous staircase design for the Hotel Tassel in 1893 is breathtaking and is seen as the start of the Art Nouveau era. His style is an inspiration to me and his staircase is one of my favorite works of art.
