Not only that, but he gave me a sterling endorsement, I almost don’t recognise myself.

Oh, and I speak fluent ‘Geek’ apparently. I didn’t  know whether to be proud or vaguely embarrased (quite chuffed really).  I always thought I was one of the ‘cool’ kids (and cool girls didn’t go out with geeky boys).  But as my friend Ian aka zilla774 says, ‘its cool to be an internet geek.’

Lorrie Whittington on the importance of art — The ARTISTScenter.

Interview for The ARTISTS Center

Entitled ‘Lorrie Whittington talks about business and art’.
The lovely Bill has posted the second part of my interview, and it reads rather well. Comments and feedback are always appreciated.

I was naturally thrilled and jumped at the chance. He sent me quite an impressive list of questions for an interview, which would be spaced out over the period of January 2010. I got to work, and despite one or two delays due to acts of God, illness and such like,  I finished my interview yesteray and submitted it to him. He wrote back promptly, telling me how pleased he was, and that not only did he intend to feature the article, but that he would like me to be a guest writer for the blog, and that appropriate posts from my own blog would feed to the site.

It was quite a challenge, and the questions Bill sent me were pretty thorough and covered a lot of ground, but I really enjoyed it, despite that writing about oneself can be quite a daunting task. Here is Part I of my interview. Also on the site is a nifty video of my work spliced to some pretty funky music.

Thanks Bill for such a great opporunity for some fantastic exposure, and a very flattering introduction to the interview. Bless you.

If you do go and have a read, please do leave a comment, as it’s so appreciated by both Bill Weaver (who puts so much work into the site) and I.
