shameless self promotion

As a freelance designer/artist I have come to appreciate the idea of "branding" oneself.  Here are a few things learned in my brief brainstorming process:

_I wanted my blog to have a vague name...something interesting but not something that would "pigeon hole" it.

_The name has to be completely unique (the hardest part)

_The name has to be versatile...something that can translate into a store name, a production company, a magazine etc. etc.

After a couple days of intense brainstorming, I finally came up with a name:
the hyper manikin


Not sure how focused I want it to be...or what I really want the blog to be about...but I feel like I shouldn't try to force anything...it will evolve naturally.

link on, folks

So I'm too poor [and lazy] to get an official webspace going.... instead I'm using Wordpress. [gloriously free] After exploring different setups and playing with a little hexidecimal color coding, something happens that isn't entirely crappy. [whoo hoo!] There's a lot of space for hosting images and even a happy little widget that lets me link my blog to the Collective. I'll reiterate: free free free free free free ... etc.

It's still waaaaaaaaaay in a scrap phase, since I don't really have images up loaded yet. But the address is http://moorsea.wordpress.com/

I'm thinking of changing the header image too... but at the same time I've always loved the idea of painting rooms. So empty, with all this opportunity. [I took that pic when I painted my apart. back to white] Thoughts?
