John here again. I forgot to mention this earlier on the blog about user names in the Social forum, but unfortunately you will have to register again to post messages. While we wanted to give everyone who registered in the Gallery easy access to the forum, we just can't at the moment since we encrypted your passwords for your protection. Since we can't see what the passwords are, we couldn't add them to the forum. Sorry for the inconvenience and we will try to work out something better in the near future. For the time being, you can always use your gallery name and password (provided you know them) to register with the forum and then set the "Auto Login" checkbox and be done with it. Again, sorry for the pain in the wotsit... - John

Hey this is John here. I'm Ash's web guy and I'm writing on his behalf to announce some long awaited updates and features to the site. First off, you can now post comments on blog entries and read them online. This has been a highly requested feature and we are happy to have it out the door to you. Also added is a new FeedBurner feed so you can subscribe to the blog with your favorite feed/RSS reader like Google Reader or Netvibes. Look for the orange RSS logo at the top of the blog to subscribe. And the best addition to the site is the opening of the Social! Finally you have a place to post and share with Ash and other fans of his work and the bands he shoots. We hope you enjoy these new features to the site and find them useful. And just to let you know, we are hard at work to get the Sales section going since so many of you have asked about buying Ash's great work. Ash will be offering prints of his work and T-shirts (which look awesome by the way) for sale on the site. We'll post again when we have a more specific date when it will be available. My team and I are also working on some more fun stuff to add to the site since the Rocker's Jigsaw Puzzle has worked out so well. We have some cool ideas coming up to give you more reason to spend some time here with this crazy-ass Brit we love (but not in the way that Marcus Henderson loves animal statuary)!

Thank you all for helping us make AshNewell.com a smashing success! We couldn't have done it without you, and of course Ash's amazing talent!

More shots have been added to the gallery. The new stuff covers many bands like blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah. I have also added more publication and advertising shots and updated the Ash and Friends gallery. Go take a look and rate away.

The new gallery viewer is coming along. Also, the quote viewer is looking sweet. I hope to have the whole thing ready for prime time before the end of the month. The site will also get live on the sales side so you can buy the images you like. We may also be adding T-shirts to the product offerings and a customizable screen saver.

Welcome to my new home on the web!
