Interesting. There's a spam link in the header. Checked on IA - in late 2017 the site expired, was gone briefly, and then was restored, with the author's picture removed and the spam added. Some of the pictures won't load either.

Almost seems... intentional? Something somewhere noticed a defunct site, grabbed the domain, and restored it from the Wayback Machine, warts and all. Slip in a link to "free uk slots" and bingo, you've got a little bit of passive income.

I think you're right, a more-generic author-name domain that used to exist is not active anymore either.


Wow, I remember this, pretty sure this dates back to... Like 2002 or something.

That said, I think this is a scammy rehost of someone who took over the domain.

There's a dodgy gambling link, missing content (404s, 1x1 pixel placeholders), and the artist's old general domain is also being held by a squatter.
