New theme goodness

I installed a lovely new wordpress theme today, and got rid of the links to sketchbooks and stuff for the time being, so I put them in this post.

Holy cow, a new post

Well, I realize it’s been an awful long time since I posted, but I’m sitting here waiting for my huge vat of curry to cook so I can go to bed, and thought I’d finally post a little more of the processing code tennis, which has had enough of tennis and gone inside for a lie down.

Processing Code Tennis

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:34:29 +0000

So, I’ve started playing code tennis with John Pett. It was all his idea, and although it’s taking a while (imagine slow mo tennis played in space) as we are both reasonably busy people, so far we have this basic image to show from it! It’s a relatively crud model of the solar system that has the barest nod to reality.

Check the sketch here

PS. OOps! Looks like I left my next return of serve vaguely hidden in there. Meh.

I had to make a mega cute logo for a client, and to counterbalance it and get the sickly taste out of my mind, I made a spoooooky version for halloween.

Tumblr account

So, I got myself a Tumblr account while I wait for my Dropular invite to arrive, so’s I can just bung crap out there that I haven’t done myself that I think is fancy pants.

So, my friends and neighbours are in a excellent band called Another Rhythm Jesus, and they asked me to make a poster for them, and gave me free range! Wheeeeee!

Some Processing…

I was put in touch with John Pett by my brother, Tom. John has a lot of lovely stuff on his site, and is interested in Processing. It rekindled my love of the little program, so I thought I’d start posting sketches, starting with this one (click the image to run the applet):

I Love Raid

Well, I re-installed everything on my macbook, and trawling through my backups, I found a picture I drew when I was hunting ants in an apartment in Spain. I was obsessed for the whole fortnight.

A long time since I last posted…

…so I thought I’d do a little colour sketch of a sketchbook scan. Hrmpf!

Spoonflower Fabric

Well, aaaages ago, Amy and I designed some fabric to be printed by Spoonflower that Amy was going to make into lovely quilts for our baby, Evie. Here some piccies, from design to realization! Woot.

The only fly in the ointment was our glorious government charging us AS MUCH AGAIN AS THE FABRIC COST IN IMPORT DUTY. Thanks guys.
