Massive Website Update!

Hey my dearest friends and fishes! I have finally taken the time to go over my website and make the changes I've been wanting to implement for the last few years... Yes years...

I've moved a few things around, but the important stuff has essentially stayed put but with a little extra polishing.

The biggest problem I've been facing is how to best showcase my work. Finding a nice way to display my mermaid tail creations is a real challenge given the lengthy vertical dimensions that mermaid tails typically have. I feel like I am trailblazing and getting a little lost in the woods on the way...

That said I think I've landed in a nice middle ground for now and hopefully from here I can explore new ways as creativity strikes (any time now please).

Above is snippet of what my updated portfolio page now looks like.

WOW COURTNEY YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO SHARE FULL DESIGNS ONLINE ANYMORE?! WHAT GIVES?!

Rein the seahorses in folks and let me explain...

I give up. I accept defeat. The internet IS WHAT IT IS and I am thoroughly exhausted from trying so hard to keep people from ripping me off so I'm raising the white flag.

Thieves are still finding ways to steal from me regardless of the immense efforts I've made and I'm tired of hiding in my studio. So here we are. Here's my work. Tens of thousands of hours of my life (I've been honing my digital design skills for over 20 years now) invested into my art and people are just going to do what they do.

As much as it hurts me to have my work ripped off, it hurts me more NOT to share.

My fully realized mermaid tail creations and other works will still be available exclusively to the Patreon Pod for purchase but I will again be sharing my artwork and creations here and on my other social platforms.

Please don't make me regret this...

I've updated a lot of the wording and added a lot more context to my website so, if you have any interest, take a look around and see what has changed.

My goal is to put a much greater emphasis on celebrating the body of work I have created over the last 18 years and honoring the journey it took to get me here.

I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to my Patreon Pod for being the reason I haven't given up yet and for always being there with ideas, suggestions, and support. You fishes mean the world to me!

That's all for now and I look forward to catching up with you all again soon!

Happy Swimming!
