Time for a quick bit of self pro­mo­tion: I’ve moved my online gal­lery to aliensrobotsoctopodes.tumblr.com – why not take a look?

My gal­lery has always been called Aliens, Robots and Octopodes simply because those are my pre­ferred sub­jects for art. (If you’ve fol­lowed the blog, you’ll have seen evid­ence of the robots and octo­podes, but I don’t think we’ve fea­tured ali­ens – yet!)

The old gal­lery was awk­ward to update, so I’d got­ten out of the habit. I have some affec­tion for it, because I coded it (learn­ing php and javas­cript in the pro­cess) but it couldn’t really com­pete with a pro­fes­sional con­tent man­age­ment sys­tem. Plus, there was no way for people to find it, and no way for any­one to give feedback.

So I’ve moved over to Tumblr – Tumblr, in case it’s new to you, is a micro-blogging plat­form with a focus on  pictures.

One of the fun things is that if people like a par­tic­u­lar image they can ‘re-blog’ – share – it on their Tumblog. And then it can get re-re-blogged – it’s a fun form of feed­back watch­ing image propag­ate across blogs like that. Sometimes it’s sur­pris­ing too: my most pop­u­lar image? Three Wise Men – shown right. I guess it has nerd appeal.

Anyhow, as I said, why not take a look?
