What’s New?
The Printshop Interface has been
redone.
There is a
new index page for the animated
GIFs.
A new interface design
was added to the galleries.
The pace of
changes will be accelerating in 2004.
What’s Old but New?
I’ve
dug-up a large box of full-color postcards I did back in 1991. Several of the
designs went on to be published as CD covers, book covers and in magazines. I
sold thousands of them and then put them away. I am now offering them for sale at bargain prices here.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
