I've been keeping up with some drawing by keeping a pad of paper under my keyboard and drawing tablet on my desk. seems to work. quite happy with these drawings. feel like they could be on the desk one day, and the desk for sale. was originally going to be just a place to write things so i dint forget them, ended up drawing all over it. good

pressing issue

2010-09-04T10:11:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time comin' but finally got to the closing stages of making my press. It all started with seeing a woodworking vice an thinkin' "I bet I could use that to make a press". Well. turns out, yes, I could indeed. Will hopefully be reaping the rewards of it anytime soon.

long time no post, desktop

2010-02-13T02:29:00.000-08:00

For a while now I've been trying to modify my desktop and folder views on xp. But recently found a fix for it. its called styler and used in combination with style xp ive come up with this:

I've changed all my desktop icons (the essential ones anyway) and my cursors, flattened the colour of everything and tried to simplify the colour schemes.

please check out Dave Prossers most recent animation work. Its called clockwork, about a small mining town. Really great work and I'm not just saying that because we share the same initials. Make sure you have sound though! For further reading on miners and the north I would highly reccommend reading GB84 by David Peace. I'm not reccommending that either because of the initials thing.

portraits

2009-01-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

Series of portraits based on friends and colleagues. I usually produce these images by attempting not to look at the page. Final image is of mr. shadbolt. I think that this drawing once coloured lacked some of the character of the original, as I worked away some of the linework during colouring.
