Working for the man…

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

If you are interested in my artwork and have visited the site before (I know I have at least one or two regular visitors), then you may have noticed that I haven’t added any new images to my portfolio for quite some time. There are a number of reasons for this, not least being that [...]

Is there someone else up there we could talk to?

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

This poor blog has been languishing, unloved and untouched, for quite a while now. A lot of things have changed since I last posted, and I’ve finally decided it’s time to pull my finger out and start updating the site again. I realise not many people (if any) actually read this blog, but it’s [...]

My portfolio is complete

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Okay, I think I’ve added all the images and animations that I need to, so I’ve reset all the “view” counters so that they aren’t distorted by my own editing and browsing. I’ve used this opportunity to add new things, and omit some stuff that either isn’t relevant or is similar to other material. It’s [...]

Will you still remember me when you’re famous?

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

This time last year, Stefan at Reality Dreamship commissioned a caricature of fashion model Jordan Paris, which was used in the funky website he designed for her.

This morning, I was chuffed to see Jordan on LK Today, modelling Indian fashions for the lovely Lorraine Kelly. It was great to be able to point at the [...]

Creative Suite 2 is shipping

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

Yesterday I had confirmation from Adobe that my copy of Creative Suite 2 is now on it’s way via UPS.

For some reason though, Adobe sent the confirmation e-mail in PDF format, with no clickable links for the order tracking or support page URL’s. So I had to open up the PDF in Preview, then copy [...]

Something stripy this way comes

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Woot! I’ve had my dispatch notification from Apple. Tiger is on it’s way! With a major OS release like this, I have a tried and tested strategy for upgrading:

I maintain two partitions on my “main” hard-drive (I have another physical hard-drive that I use for all my work files). One partition (called “Boot”) holds the [...]

I got married!

Monday, November 15th, 2004

On Saturday 30th October 2004, I married my lovely wife Elaine. The ceremony at Nuneaton Registry Office went without a hitch, and the reception and party at The Hare and Hounds in Keresley was excellent. The food at the Hare and Hounds was exceptionally good, and everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves enormously. A huge [...]

I’m getting married tomorrow!

Friday, October 29th, 2004

I’m marrying my lovely girlfriend Elaine on Saturday 30th October 2004 at 2pm. After the reception and party at the Hare and Hounds in Keresley, we are off on honeymoon on Sunday. We are going to stay in a log cabin (complete with four poster bed, six foot jacuzzi, wide screen TV and DVD player) [...]
