Dear Ed,
I am a visual artist with many years experience in
media and art and communications here in nyc, so use
my tips on your site if you wish.
First a couple of tips for you on web building. The
italic test doesn't work well, it breaks down and
gives the eyes great trouble reading it on different
platform computers. It would serve you better if you
did not use italics text, and used straight letters,
cause on laptops, with small screens it can't be
read....hardly at all, it pixilates terribly, also on
my mac.
In my view, use a "few" less pictures, so the viewer
can figure out what you are saying more concisely. And
get to the meat of what you want to say. I got
diverted and confused, a little. But it is your site,
do what you wish, just thought I would pass that
along.
Yes, you can use my toons if you give me a link and
credit, and do not alter the images and take out my
signature in the image. I enjoyed your letter a great
deal and hear you, as others who are writing me at a
rampant pace in the last week.
Just go to my site, http://www.rayberry.com/toons and
click -hold down- on image with mouse, download image
to disk, they are named clearly, and then you can
upload it to your website easily from your hardrive.
I created a statement page yesterday, you may want
some text from it for your link if you choose.

Let me know when you get some toons up and write me
anytime here ED. Great success to you as well.
