I was recently introduced to a wonderful wildlife photographer in the U.K. named Tim Neal. Tim sent me a link to his site Photovision Studios. I was so impressed with the quality of Tim's work that I added a link to his site on all wildlife pages on the Artistic Network. If you get a moment, go view his vivid images that really draw you in!

I'm still slowly working on the new Counter-Strike map dedicated to Cringe. I still don't have screen shots.

Traffic keeps rising for the Artistic Network. I was astonished and happy when a member of U.S. Armed Forces joined last week--his name is Shawn Olson! Mr. Olson plans on adding some photos from his tour in Iraq... but he has to wait until I upgrade areas on my site that currently make "Shawn Olson" privileged.

It's been a bum week for my friends in Noise Auction. We had launched their new site only a few days ago... and everything was looking good--they had a couple shows lined up for the week and traffic on their site was up.

But then some idiots robbed their equipment from their practice place. I really hope the people who did it get caught soon... It just further reinforces my pessimism with this world--idiots outnumber artists 100 to 1.

Anyway... I hope to see some new work from members.
