Yes, alright. I’ve sold my soul to the devil, and added a few “Link Exchange” entries to my links page. These are links to sites that I have no real interest in, but putting a link on this site means I get a reciprocal link elsewhere, which could increase my traffic and search engine ranking. [...]

I had a really good class at Aikido this week. It’s great to be back training again. I’ve been back on the mat once a week for a few months now, after a break of over two years. When I started again in the summer, I was shocked at how much I’ve forgotten over that [...]

I have recently implemented switchable style sheets on this site. This allows you to choose the the appearance of the site from the alternatives I have made available (there are three different style available at time of writing). Take a look at the styles block on the right hand side of the page, and select [...]

New to the site are the discussion forums. There are public boards where you can post comments and feedback on my illustration, and bug reports if you encounter any problems with the site. These boards are open to all, but will be strictly moderated.

If you register for a free account, then you can join the [...]

A number of visitors to this site have reported that none of the images display correctly; for example, all the thumbnail images are show as broken links.

In every case that I have been able to investigate, the problem has been caused by 3rd party Windows security software like ZoneAlarm and Norton Internet Security. For some [...]

I have just added a new downloads page to the site, where you can get free stuff for your amusement and edification.

So far, there are only a couple of desktop background images (wallpaper if you prefer), and a little print-and-make paper jeep that I designed years ago. Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to add some [...]

I have recently installed IE7, a compliance patch developed by Dean Edwards that takes heroic measures to fix all the holes in the CSS support of Internet Explorer 5 & 6 on Windows. It uses CSS and Javascript to force IE into more compliant behaviour, and reduces the need for ugly style sheet hacks that [...]

Jane Austen begins her most famous novel, Pride and Prejudice, with the following sentence:

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

It would have been more succinct, and far funnier (in my opinion, anyway), if she had started with:

It is a [...]

I have just added a small selection of sketches that I did back in 1997, when Russ and I first started formulating ideas for a childrens book.

I have loads more sketches that I produced at the time, but as the book has yet to make it out of our heads and into the hands of [...]

Because there are now so many images in my portfolio (current count is 160), I have now added a highlights page which contains links to sets of images that I think might be of interest to visitors. There are only 3 sets available at the moment, but I will be adding more when time allows. [...]
