nicholashartman.com has launched!!! The former inktour.com will now redirect to my shiny new website—a louder and healthier presentation of my work.
Late in 2010, there was a big host server crash and inktour.com was vaporized. I lost the whole thing. It coincidentally came at a good time, since it lit a fire under me to get cracking on what was already something I was itching to improve.
If you are a nerd, continue reading… My previous site (inktour) was foolishly built with Flash. That was back when I had aspirations of phasing my graphic interests towards animation. Needless to say, updating it was a huge pain, and with the boom of smart phones, well, we know the story about Apple and Flash. This new site has a very basic html skin, and is managed by WordPress. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The level, and EASE, with which I can upload new content has metamorphosed the way I approach documenting my new work.
The features that I’m most excited about include: 1.) “Latest Work”—on inktour, I’d post new work and then it’d be buried amidst all the other work and users weren’t able to see the most recent items; 2.) Very large background images—2,500+ pixels wide, so even on a 27″ monitor the images are full-screen; 3.) The aforementioned WordPress CMS—this site is definitely going to be fresher.
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone that helped with this site—you know who you are.
