Michael Honnor
I’ve designed and built a new website, www.michaelhonnor.com, for this fantastic contemporary British landscape artist, who also happens to be my dad. The idea is that he will upload new work every month or so, keeping it fresher than his old site, which tended to get quickly stale and out of date. For the time being I’ve also included a Flash gallery page, though as the CMS fills up with more art I’ll replace this with some more creative gallery options using categories, chronology and jQuery.
The design builds on the WPESP WordPress portfolio framework, which I’ve adapted to include custom fields for each piece, that he can fill in when he uploads new images. It also uses jQuery for the portfolio carousel on the homepage and an improved version of the TimThumb script to build different image sizes on the fly.
It also includes an Amazon-powered shop, through which visitors can buy his book.

Hi..Ive tried to contact Michael via several of the ‘Michael Honnor’ websites.. with no luck.
I am a landscape painter, and have long been a fan of his work.
Last year I moved from London to Totnes.. and have recently learnt that Michael holds a printmaking class at Dartington. Is it still going? Ifso, is there any chance I can join?
Ive never done any print work, and would relish the chance to learn.
Perhaps you might take the time to reply and let me know? I’d be very grateful..
Yours,
Sarah
Hi Sarah, I’ve forwarded your questions to Michael, who should be in touch. Julius.
