when i was in high school (10 years ago) i started a couple of x-files websites.  the first was a multimedia archive, which was not terribly exciting, and all the actual media is long gone (an old harddrive died on me) .  you know, in retrospect, i really wish i had received one of those Cease And Desist orders from Fox that caused so many other x-files multimedia sites to shut down.  i would proudly display it in a frame on my wall.   but, alas, i was a goody-goody and refused to anger Fox by growing too large or selling ad space.

the second x-files site was a fan art archive. over 100 people submitted over 1000 pieces of all kinds: digital, drawings, paintings, charcoal, mixed media… etc.  well, i’m digging up old projects for the new version of my portfolio (coming soon) and found it hidden away.  i had to upload it again so the world could see The Original X-Files Art Archive, in honor of the second movie coming out (JULY 25th) perhaps?   i’m *still* amazed at the talent, but mostly i’m tickled pink to see what we used to make in Photoshop 5 and try and pass off as “art.”
