Stay in Wonderland V9 under construction
Hi folks,
This is Stay in Wonderland Graphic Design in its 9th incarnation!
For the first time, SIW will be fully html/css and not a Flash site. As such it will attract many more web surfers and will slowly climb out of the anonymous hole it’s been hiding in for the last ten years when it was just a portfolio presentation.
Content this time might be more illustrative and less 3D/Flash. We shall see!
Stay tuned for more. Progress on this site will be daily for a good few weeks.
