\nHello again! I’m very pleased to get back so soon.<\/p>\n
I’ve been reading your comments, some of which I really appreciate. Hopefully I’ll have time to start posting some of them soon. Right now, I’d like to respond to three questions I’ve received:<\/p>\n
Question 1<\/p>\n
Someone asks, “Do you get a lot of spam responses?”<\/p>\n
Answer:<\/p>\n
Definitely. One time, I got 1600 comments in four months; about 1500 were spam. You can cut down on the spam using various features in the blogging platform, such as the blacklist feature.<\/p>\n
Question 2<\/p>\n
Someone asks, “Given that your site loads so quickly, what web host do you use?”<\/p>\n
Answer:<\/p>\n
I use a local web host, rather than a nationally advertised one. I might pay a little more, but so far it’s been worth it:)<\/p>\n
Question 3<\/p>\n
Would you be interested in a link exchange?<\/p>\n
Answer:<\/p>\n
Possibly. I’d never do it unless I visited the other site and liked it. I tend to like creative, artistic sites, but they don’t have to be about art.<\/p>\n
I haven’t been drawing as much these last few months, but my interest in faces, especially in drawing from memory, continues. While much of my drawings have been based on pictures, I do like to recreate people I see spontaneously.<\/p>\n
Tournaments are great places to notice people. There are lots around, in various capacities. Most people’s faces I don’t notice, but every crowd has a memorable one. <\/p>\n
The person depicted below is a first aid attendant\/security guard. He looked absolutely suited to his role. Some people seem to discover their perfect niche in life; I’ve always thought those people are very lucky!<\/p>\n
Thanks, Mr. Security Guard, for the role you played that day.<\/p>\n

I don’t leave the house very often.\u00a0 When I do, it’s often for a function such as a judo tournament.\u00a0 Later, I might draw a person I saw there from memory. Hello again!
