Introducing The 1WebDiva.com Blog: An Exploration Of Creativity And Unique Web

Well, it had to happen. The only thing that never changes is the fact that things change all the time! I have become [finally!] an ardent blogger. After a decade of publishing online… for OTHER people… I am now publishing for me. My lifelong love of all-things art is now going online, rapidly.

Here is my personal invitation to visit my new blog. I’ve spent a lifetime in career and personal goals with what kind of has become to be known as “branding.” And yes, I guess that is what it is. But, it is simply focusing in on what makes you and/or your work UNIQUE. Custom. Handmade, hand built. Personalized and personal. What is truly YOU? This is what makes your mark in the world.

I am an admitted Photoshopaholic. It took a band of angels and an affidavit from God to drag me into the computer world in 1989. But God is a smart cookie. Once He got me to go INTO the Macintosh store in Denver… it took all of 20 minutes on a Mac, and Photoshop, to show this artist (we are so smug, aren’t we?) an entire World and History of ART … in a digital world. Real art. Handmade. Hand built. ART. Presented as if by magic, on what back then and even now, looks exactly like a television!

I was immediately engulfed in that magic. Type type here, and up HERE… ART. I have become so immersed over the years since 1989 that I took it into Education and became one of the first rung of online teachers… teaching ART to others. I built some of the earliest University Art courses. You might say: I was convinced.

Well… back to my 1WebDiva.com blog. If you take a small journey through the blog, you will find that every page “header” is a unique piece of artwork, geared to the theme or topic of the page. I wanted to impart both the page message, as well as the overall message that each piece of your online presence can speak to your reader in an illustration as well as text. Tying it all together with the look and feel of the blog, each piece is titled in gold on black, with rugged stone-like borders. This is a play of a modern tone of “Grunge” with my preferred style of realistic, photographic imagery. Most of the headers also contain small elements of previous artworks… yes, handmade, hand built, mixed-media works.

Enough chat. Here is a small gallery of these works. But again, please visit my blog! I would love to have you leave comments, or questions [which I WILL answer!] or suggestions [which I will ponder seriously, and most likely comment back].
