That was the working title and one of the first suggestions for the name of my new website but a more reasonable approach was taken and here we are basically back at the beginning.

In the past three years I have built and closed two fine websites aimed at web development and graphic design. This was primarily because I chose names with the word Sask in them, SaskMedia and then Saskanet. I have come to realize that either God hates me or I just should lay off the Sask web names. Both those names, by the way, are close enough to other established companies or organizations to cause me enough legal grief that I would be paying till the cows come home, and in my vegetarian world they are one nasty group of party animals, so they never come home early. In the end it was time to stop using website names with Sask anywhere in them.

The next step was easy, most people know I am the person behind those sites, and since I came here to Saskatchewan, and Regina in particular, to slow down a little and live better, which was recently driven home in a big way, the solution was to use my own domain stevengauci.com. The slow down part means I will be doing far less web development only about 30 hours a week instead of 65 and I will be doing all the things I personally like to do.

I have always considered myself an artiste, musical and otherwise. In the mid-80s I was working with sculpture, photography, music and paint, then came the graphics arts movement, computers and websites. I am returning to sculpture, painting and now 3D illustration, photography and music. My new website will have those finished items for sale to the public alongside the web development and graphic design projects I undertake for clients.

This new website carries my name and will be just as irreverent and eclectic as  I am an artist, hence this blog and my new found passion for sugar-free lemon tarts.
