• The New York Times — Hand Codes Website - "It?s our preference to use a text editor, like HomeSite, TextPad or TextMate, to ?hand code? everything, rather than to use a wysiwyg HTML and CSS authoring program, like Dreamweaver. We just find it yields better and faster results." - Correct!

From the Dorset Art Weeks website:

“Expect a spectacular fusion of contemporary art and performance from Weymouth Arts Network; a group of young emerging artists who are keen to display their fresh vision in various mediums including graphic art and design, sound and video installations, textile art work, sculpture as well as site specific performance art.

Located in the hub of Hope Square, within The Brewers Quay this exhibition promises to delight art lovers and novices alike with a wealth of talent complimentarily placed within the industrial workings of the old brewery. Industrial engine enthusiasts will also enjoy viewing the old engine room, which is kept in perfect working order to this day.

Weymouth Arts Network has been meeting together and exhibiting since 2006 and the group are eager to demonstrate that contemporary art does not have to be limited to larger city areas. They have been working on a number of new and exciting pieces since the successful run at St Peters Church on Portland in July 2007, which saw over 650 visitors from all over the South West in just under two weeks.

All visitors will have a chance to meet with the artists throughout the exhibition to discuss the work and methods and materials used within their process.

Due the nature of our contemporary practice some of the work on display will be unavailable for sale however most pieces will be available to buy at affordable prices. Commissions welcome.”

This book is finally out to buy, after something like three years. My comic, “Great and Small” is in it. The book is subtitled “Drunk on laughter”, for some reason, though my story is about animals getting killed and isn’t really funny. Drunk, maybe. Full contributors list:

Chuck and Steve Rowles, Dan McMahn, David Recine, Dawn M. Griffin, Gigi, Reed Hawker, David Davis, Jenny Lui, Rebecca Long, Neil Purcell, Nathan Castle, Greg Morris, Amanda Hardy, and Shane “inkmonkey” Woodis
