Welcome... glad you're here

craigcthomas.com is the website for musician, astrologer, and artist Craig C. Thomas, band Nights on Venus, Craig Thomas Art Services and Excellent Sky Online Gallery. Browsing through the pages on this website, you will find:

Music by Nights on Venus, my current band project which could best be described as 'alternative, ambient, space-surf, electro-pop' instrumentals, and also some of my ongoing solo work on the music pages. I am working on recording a debut album as Nights on Venus which should be out by spring/summer of 2011.

Astrological Services, which includes chart consultations/interpretations (readings) and updates done by me. I have studied astrology for 34 years and have been doing consultations professionally for 27 years (Libra Sun, Taurus Ascendant, Pisces Moon in case you were wondering). Although the astrological services pages are not up on the website right now, they will be soon.

Art Services which include the following:

Original artwork - paintings and photography - by myself through my online virtual gallery. Visit the Art Gallery pages to see available artwork for sale or to view the kind of artwork I do.

Web design. I have worked in the field of Web graphics and design for 11 years plus and designed numerous Web sites, mostly for bands and night clubs, for both Internet and Intranet. From personal home pages to small business pages, I can design a site for you which will meet your needs and be aesthetically pleasing for visitors - an aspect too often overlooked in the Web world.

Teaching and Instruction. I have also taught art courses to classes and individuals for over 20 years, both at the university level at University of North Texas and through private instruction. I have taught classes of up to 35 people in the areas of drawing, figure drawing, and painting and am available to teach drawing and painting to both workshop groups and individuals.
