Welcome!
The Graphics Workshop is the personal and professional website of Paige Howarth. It contains a portfolio of the artist's work, including personal and professional graphic design print pieces, paintings, drawings, and flash animations. You will also find the Sign Shoppe, which provides information on my part-time signmaking enterprise, located in Middletown, Connecticut. Ordering information, samples of signage and signcraft resources are all provided. Please also visit my blog. I frequently update it with interesting tidbits and computer graphics tutorials.

For anyone interested out there, use SimplePie for RSS feed parsing. I tried almost a dozen scripts, and this one is tops for simplicity.
Next up is somehow centering this page and repositioning these text boxes (they are absolutely positioned now). [update: done!] And FINALLY, getting some cool flash effects in the middle and bottom divs. (At last, a battle fought in MY territory!)

Golden AutoThe second post in my car exterior-themed series is this: a Porsche covered in gold leaf. A gold-plated car would be cool, but gold leafing is an old world craft I enjoy practicing and reading about. Gold leaf is only a few microns thick, so a little goes a long way. ...
