Welcome back! First of all, an apology to all of you who wore the pad on your index finger down from refreshing natelaffan.com on the eve of September 26th. I was not expecting the largest work rush I’ve ever faced, and I certainly didn’t expect it would coincide with the promised launch of this thing. Couldn’t be helped. This is the first step towards recovery, the next is responding to any one of the many emails I just ignored to stay afloat. Time! All I need is time!
I’m not finished with all of the things I hoped to have ready for the launch, but if this doesn’t go live in September, something horrible will happen to me. (Don’t mess with your birthday month; it’s a useful bit of superstition that has kept me going thusfar.) What _has_ made it through is as follows:
1. QUARTER PAST – QP is the new photo album, and it has been re-coded from the ground up. There might be some little tweaks down the road, but it should be a lot faster than the old one. And prettier.
2. RESTLESS – This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. A box a week. No rules. I’m not going to art school this year, so Restless will have to suffice. I’ve started it off with 2 slides.
3. A Year in Five – This is samples from all five of the sketchbooks I kept while I was twenty-four.
4. Me. At Flickr – This may seem repetitive, but the flickr is account is solely for iPhone photos.
5. The Rest – Everything else has been on here at one point or another, but I’ve cleaned it up and shuffled things around so that they’re all up-to-date and work properly.
Apart from that, It’s all the same. I’ll start posting “strange links”:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUensqImzXM soon enough.

Regarding the background. Already the obvious question has been posed, so let me clarify. Yes, that’s blood. Yes, mine. NO, I didn’t slice myself up for the website. I bled on a sketchbook last November and my blood color happens to match the hex hue I used in the title, so I thought it fitting.

gross. and why will you not watch horror films again?

after so many refreshes, cache clears and restless hours in studio I finally have something to waste my hours exploring!! Thank god! I like the new look. One thing I found.. when I am looking at the new photo album area safari crashes when I exit from the albums back to the main page. I’m using safari on an XP machine on work when it does this… not sure about how it works on my mac. so good to have this back though!
