Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

its a banner bonanza!

its taken me a couple of months but i think im finally getting a handle on the orble formatting and have been sprucing up my blogs a bit!

the lovely and talented Cheryl J was kind enough to design the banner you see here on Deep Pencil . . . but then my other blogs felt neglected and i had to whip out the Microsoft Office Publisher program to create something nice for the poor little darlings!

now i have fairly rudimentary banner design skills so rather than the elegance of Cheryls work i think my creations would come under the category of "cute"! lol

And thank you for all the lovely praise of my design, you are a sweetheart

oh well because the business blog is so boring it never reaches the homepage lists . . . and i only started on April 23 . . . if only i had several identities to boost its score! never mind haha

im trying to make it a bit more exciting, it was an existing blog i took over because it was on the inactive list (noone had posted to it since Jan 07) . . . im trying to include more pics and make it more appealing for young people etc but unfortunately business can be a bit dry!

thanks for the chic compliment on Artist Quirk - bowie half-clothed in a frilly dress, you cant go wrong!

i thought you would have set up a professional banner business by now?
