I got this site — my new Studio Diary — online last night, sometime after midnight, once the last bits of code were behaving. It felt good to see it live, sitting quietly in its own corner of the internet.
I realised as I was finishing up that this domain, michaelnobbs.com, has been mine for more than twenty-two years now — first registered back in October 2003. It’s strange and rather comforting to think that this quiet corner has been here all that time, patiently waiting through the different versions of my work and life.
This new version of the site feels like a gentle return as well as small beginning. I hope it can become a gentle record of my days in the studio (or in bed!) — drawings, reflections, fragments of reading — gathered slowly, without pressure. A place where the pace of making can stay close to the pace of living.
In its own quiet way, this site feels like another form of drawing — another way of showing that I exist, that I’m still here, paying attention.
