With no knowledge of php, I began to work on this site in June of 2001 as a sort of personal goal. It's seven months later I can't believe how much this site has progressed, and I am extremely excited to watch its release. VelocityArt will be open to the public on Thursday, January 3, 2002 @ 7:00pm EST, so be ready to sign up and upload all of your work. I also suggest that you join us on irc in #velocityart on irc.thirt4.com. Thanks to everyone who made VelocityArt possible!
