The World of John Richard Hewitt

Artist & Writer



Now

"Now?"

This is not about what I have done, but what I am doing and currently working on. The idea for this page came from nownownow.com and it's another way to say, "Hi" and to get to know someone. The original idea came from Derek Sivers and The /now page movement. It is also a great way to focus because if I add something that I don't actually want to be doing, then I need a rethink.

I am currently at Amanartis Gallery at the Atria Watford, as well as Amanartis at The Chapel, which is literally a converted chapel in a cemetery in Watford. That is my art studio as well as my own gallery within the gallery. Both locations have my early work and more current pieces. Like I have said in posts and in my gallery section here, I am tired of displaying images that get scrolled through, so I actively encourage people to visit the gallery.

I am also actively writing and have quite a few books on Amazon under different pseudonyms. My poetry is under John Richard Hewitt as well as the graphically, irreverent and chilling, though humorous, novella, Edgar. I am currently working on Edgar II.

I am also enjoying the simplicity of handcrafting my website with only HTML. I have had many sites in the past with complex databases, JavaScript and exotic CSS design elements. Then I just couldn't any more and I craved minimalism, in all areas of my life. So the website you see is pure HTML, and I am continuing to add more elements as well as entries to the blogroll etc.
