When I had the vision that was realized in the final form of Digital Outsider it was simple enough, though the simplicity in formulation would turn out to be very misleading, my ideas was to use webpage construction methods to build a completely virtual exhibit of a unique and original virtual collection of virtual artworks, that is, art that exists entirely, natively within the digital display format of a webpage...

I was faced with a host of problems in two areas of which I was entirely ignorant, namely website design and digital imaging... the project was hard to explain and justify to others, especially in the first few years when digital imaging was not yet widely considered legitimate artwork and a great deal off my time interacting with online communities was spent defending using the word art in relation to my images...
