The People of The Book in 2008

This is just a quick post to say that the blog and the site are still going and planned to continue in 2008. Hopefully there will be more activity on the site and on the blog and more things to cover such as exhibitions.

Anyway, a belated happy new year from The People of The Book.

Show

Here's the slideshow as used at the current exhibition at Fairfield Halls.

People of the Book site update

Well, it has been a while but I hope to have the site updated in April. Although it might not look that different, it will have lots more to look at, and more information about the paintings.

Calendar still available!

Although it is almost 2007 you can still get hold of the People of the Book Calendar.

Happy Christmas

A very happy Christmas to all readers of The People of the Book blog.

Revamp by November

I think I'll have to revamp the whole site in October or it won't be ready for ages and ages. It needs a great deal of work doing and it isn't going to get done if I leave it longer.

At this rate

I don't think there will be a site update before the end of October, which is a shame indeed.

Site update: What's coming up

When the next version of the site is up each painting will have a page devoted to it giving comment and background information amongst other things.

When all of that is done I plan to run a series of posts here about each painting as well.

Hopeful that the site will be updated again in 2006

That is the plan, but so far there is very little to update it with. I'd like to have lots of new stuff done in the next month or by the end of October at the lastest, we'll have to wait and see.

And with the texts come ...

Poetry. That's the plan, to include a poem with each painting and accompanying text. At least, with a lot of them. We'll have to see how it works out.

Texts update

The next version of the People of the Book site is going to have text about each painting. Each of the paintings will have their own page with a good deal of information about the painting. The text is being written by a range of writers chosen by the artist.

Of course, there's quite a lot to write. There are 37 paintings, so we need 37 texts written. It is taking time, but I hope it will be worth it in the end.

And of course . . .

Don't forget to check out the calendar!

Next upgrade to the People of the Book site

You may wonder what is going on with the People of Book site?

Well, behind the scenes it is being updated, and should get a make over in a few weeks.

The reason it takes a long time is that there is quite a lot of new material going up too. Of course, all of this needs to be written, and that is what takes the real time.

So, don't worry, there will be more stuff coming about the paintings, how they were made and the inspiration behind them. You just need to be patient.

About the calendar

I thought I'd add a few comments about the new 2007 calendar. When I ordered mine it took just over two weeks to arrive. The site accepts card payment and is very secure indeed. The ordering process is simple and easy to follow. I hope you find it ok.
