The Animated Spirit is moving to Substack! After writing and posting here for over 15 years — completely non-monetized — I’m now moving to a new platform with the hope of greater and easier readership. Since independently hosted webpages — like this one — are no longer economically or practically viable, I felt it was time for a change. Although I’ve contemplated closing this blog completely, I felt there’s still more to say as an artist speaking to, and in promotion of, art and artists in what is now a rapidly changing technological environment.
And don’t worry; the new site will continue to be free and feature, for the first time, an opportunity to engage and leave comments (an option I’m willingly experimenting with unless bots/trolls begin to ruin the atmosphere). Furthermore, all of the original essays, demos and articles I’ve made here over the years — over 260 of them — are being exported over to the new platform, even as this website will continue to exist for the time being.
I hope that you will migrate over and subscribe over there. Again, it is free and easy — even easier for me, so I hope to post far more regularly. I thank all of you who have come here to visit in the past and hope you’ll continue to frequent it at the new location.
See you there! link: https://animatedspiritblog.substack.com/
