The Dictionary Project Interview
I’m interviewed by Lisa O’Neill for the fabulous Dictionary Project. Read the interview here.
Excerpt:
What can language contain? What can it not ever contain?
Language can contain almost everything, the beginning, the end, the inevitable ruin of a world, the collapse and betrayal of truth, the compacted pain of life and death, but in words, only in words. It can not contain the same permanence of time that film offers, for example. Or the power given to a viewer in the prolonged gaze of a slow-moving herd of cows.

Evolution of a Website
On a whim, decided to redo my website this week. Looks like maybe this is turning into an annual habit?
Anyways, welcome to the new site…
My site started out in 2010 like this:
This one was designed by my brother Eugene, and was centered around my first book KEROTAKIS, utilizing a lot of the art from the book and its aesthetic style.
I redid it in 2011 to go for a more neutral but also more user-friendly design:
This time around, wanted an impactful theme but still simple and UX friendly, so instead of designing a website from scratch, utilized the premium theme PUNCH! since it already had a lot of my needs:
Anyways, take a look around and stay awhile!
