New blog layout!

I've gone into the guts of the html and sorted out a few width and general aesthetic issues (didn't realise you could do that with Blogger!) Wordpress makes you pay to tinker with the code which is a massive saucepan of wank.

Lookin for ideas

Since some of my best work comes from suggestions from friends, I'm asking people for theirs! I'm looking to diversify the pictures I do, but would like to keep to the same sort of style I used for Mr Swann.

So if you've got requests, reply below!

Ok! Going to be working on a scanned in sketch soon

Based on my character "Mr Swann", who's not a very nice man. Will hopefully be uploading it later on tonight.

Quarter of a century!

Yup, I'm 25.

Fun times. I'm still working at an Advertising agency in Shrewsbury making Flash banners and email newsletters, which is dull work, but it pays.

More time for personal projects is needed.

Let's start this shit up again!

RIGHT! I've started writing this blog again, just because it's something to do.

Lots of things have happened since I last posted... My animation won Best Student Film at the 2009 Flip Festival (which was an unexpected surprise!), I met the Brothers McLeod and several other prominent figures in web animation... And I got a job making Flash advertisements in Shrewsbury

It's a good opportunity to refine my Flash skills and also venture more into web-design.

I've made a few nice little animations since then and I but I'll have to ask permission to put them on the site (shouldn't be a problem).

2 days to go

I've gotten a hell of a lot of work done over the last few days, most of which I'm proud of. I can definately get it all done in time, but I'll probably tinker with the animation and sound after I've handed it in. 

Something I'd all but forgotten before the last 2 weeks: I really do enjoy my work when I get into the flow of it. There are few other things that would grip my attention so much I would let my tea go cold. I will definately be animating in After Effects again. I already have some ideas of what I want to do...
