Home

My name is James Piggott, an artist currently living near Detroit, Michigan. This is my art website, which I've been maintaining and updating for some years now.

On this front page, I'll point out updates to the site, give a little bit of information about myself (though not as thorough as on the "About Me" page), and anything that doesn't quite fit into one of the sections in the menu.

The Gallery is the main section of my site, where you will find all of my artwork, including concept art, storyboards, illustrations, and a ton of sketches.

Info has all of my personel information including my resume, contact information, as well as, information about the college I went to and the artgroup I'm a part of.

Blog is a direct link to my blog, WolfLog.com, which when using the abbreviation of WebBlog (blog), is nicknamed the Flog. I update the blog heavily, so if you are interested in my artwork, check there often.

FAQ

-Are you availible for Freelance work?

-Yes, I am. Contact me by email of phone (email preferred).

-What materials do you use?

-When I sketch I use Ballpoint Pen. For colored things, I use Photoshop and digitally paint with a Wacom Tablet. I will occasionally use traditional medium, but I am far more comfortable on the computer.

-How is this website made?

-I used Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to place everything you see here. Objects around the site were made in Photoshop. I'll occasionally do something in Flash, in case I need a slick animation, but I didn't use any for this version of the site. There are some great resources around the net for CSS and digital artwork, here are some links:

-CSS Zen Garden
-GRC's Pure CSS Menus
-Photoshop Techniques
-Stu Nicholls CSS Play
-thur's 3-column Template
-Pure CSS Image Rollovers
-Tips for Using a 3 Column Blog
-Character Designs Forum
-ConceptArt.org

Of course, I'm just learning how to use CSS, so I've only scratched the surface, and built upon what other coders and artist have done.
