Its great that you and Ryan took the > trouble to make that. Oh, don't thank me, thank him. I think it was my idea to create the video, but I don't really remember now. I did make suggestions here and there, e.g. the "Nosferatu/Total eclipse of the heart" segment springs to mind. But he created it and put it all together, and, of course, it's magnificent. I couldn't imagine the site without it.

I first came up with that 4 years ago, and that was originally on the opening page of the website. The website itself was 4 years in the making. I began work on it as part of an internet design module I did in a course about 5 years ago now. Of course, I chose Jim and it developed from there. Last year, I was finally happy with it, because of Zoltar's brilliant contributions. > How could that collage be turned into a poster? I want a > framed poster of that collage on my living room wall. Yes, I would like that too. I would also like to print it on coffee coasters, so everybody would look at the album covers and wonder "What do all these albums have in common?" I would keep them guessing for a while. > Maybe you and Ryan should produce art work for sale on the > internet. Are there any plans for starting the forum > section? Not since the Rockman had a big turnaround ;-) this year. I see no need for it. I tried doing it before but I realized that everybody will end up congregating here at some point. Anyway, I recommend your site to everyone. I > notice that you are very close to the 15,000 visitors > mark. > Thank you. 15,000 is good, but compare it to the 40,000 the Batman site has received. Jim should have the same amount but he is more famous for his work, unfortunately. I've linked it on the front page for Batman and everything. | |
