Meta: What This Website Is For

A Note From Steve:

I'm having a little trouble getting across the purpose of this website... This website isn't the archive. It's the blog reporting on the progress of the archive. When I post a movie or drawing here, it isn't just a "funny cartoon", it represents an aspect of the progress of the archive, or an important bit of information that needs to be more widely known. One cartoon on the website might represent hundreds of cartoons in the archive itself.

The A-HAA! Blog isn't just a "cool website to look at stuff". I need the active participation of the artists out there in the "blogosphere". Underneath each post is a comments link. That's there for you to comment on what you've learned and to show how you're applying it to your own work. Share your thoughts and sketches related to the post. Discuss the importance of what you see with others. Analyze what you're seeing and figure out what makes it work so well.

Also, the past posts in this blog are maintained here for you to dig into and continue to use. I've posted links in the header to the MEDIA, BIOGRAPHY, FILMOGRAPHY, VOLUNTEER and META posts. Click on those and see how they work. Just because a post is a couple of weeks old, it doesn't mean that it isn't still relevant.

The purpose of this archive is to exchange ideas, and to spark inspiration. That requires YOUR active participation.

Thanks
