But I Can’t Do That

In designing the skin for this website, I wanted to achieve a painted look with the intent of using Painter to do it. I was told, “Why don’t you go get some acryllics and actually paint it?” My response was “But I can’t paint.” “Then how do you expect to do it on the computer?”

The more I think about it, the more I realize that it is what we believe ourselves incapable of doing that truly binds us to the ordinary. In trying to break out of that box, we find something totally different and new and it is only through that process that something original is developed.

It feels funny to think that I am in the process of painting a website. We’ll see how it turns out!
