THIS PICTURE LOOKS DOUCHEY TO ME

It was the splash page around here lately, actually for several years. Well, my wife said I looked hot in it. But context is king, you know, and stretched hugely across a vanity site, it looks like I’m hyping a startup for an IPA which is really coffee, or vice-versa.

Alas, there have been many competing priorities in life, and still are, above updating websites nobody’s looking at. But at long last, I now scoot the picture over here to “About”. Huzzah.

Though honestly, who am I to debate taste? Look at these screencaps I discovered of the mw.com index page from even-older days of old.

~2002-5: pictured at a not-quite-riot against the Iraq War

2000-2001: Maximalist Crazytown Version. Damn, that version was fun. For the record, all the stuff was real. I had indeed written a whole parody of The Onion.

1999: The beta version. Writing my own html to support bad pictures and dumb jokes. But you know, I guess the “masturbation journal” was a prescient satire of blogging, before blogging.



SO YES, THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN AROUND AWHILE

And who is behind it? This being the “About” page and all. Well I wrote this bio for a recent project:

Marc Wilson is a cartoonist and writer/monologist whose animated shorts have played in festivals including Slamdance and Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted. He founded the spoken-word two-man rock band Amusia; has written a couple of books including Platitudes for a Life in Hell; and has written for and performed in various theater troupes and festivals, and in informative talks like the Odd Salon lecture series.

All that being so, Marc mainly works a database job or two, and assists enthusiastically in the growth and development of a four-year-old human. He lives in San Francisco.

He can be written-to at marcbenjaminwilson at gmail, which is a silly styling unlikely to foil a bot, but aren’t I supposed to try?
