experimenting with websites

so here is my latest creation, it is a cut away diagram of the spaceshuttle from punks in space created using dreamweaver, it is a bit glitchy and slow to load but im pretty chuffed with it!

oh and also, i have somewhat revamped the website. the shop is taking a little longer than i had hoped to get up and running, but there will be t-shirts for sale soon!

onwards and upwards

right mateys, whats going on? well for a start i have finished the piece for the forbidden arts exhibition mentioned last time. I dont think I made it quite clear what the exhibit was to be in the last post though, this is because I didnt know then. So, let me tell you now. It is a colaborative project involving telly-visions, a project spearheaded by Nancy, the owner of many empty tellys. everyone was given one of the aforementioned TVs, which are without their internal workings, as a sort of miniature exhibition space. here is my offering
looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done!
oh, also i have been directed to another blog that mentions my comic, Hurray!

and before i forget , those t-shirts should be ready soon too!

increases the size of my head

every couple of months, I am almost ashamed to admit, i go through the ritual of searching for myself on the internet. It may seem like a gratuitous ego tripping vanity party for my big fat head, but it is more a chance to find out things about myself that i didnt know, research. Research into a subject i should be an expert on. Every so often i find something completely new, sometimes i find people have written bad things about me, and sometimes good. And sometimes i find things that cheer me right up on a cold autumn morning, that make me feel like i am not completely wasting my time sitting every day drawing little comics, like this i stumbled across on comicimpact.com which is a great website devoted to all things comic! so thank you Rob Andrews for your encoraging words, if i wore a hat, today i would be wearing it on an angle and whistling a jaunty little tune. I think maybe its time to begin the next series of Punks in Space and its going to be bigger and better than ever.



To the website!

flies you look cool but are horrible and a nuisance

Another possible tshirt design? or maybe a sticker, im not sure. Flys are quite horrible, they start off as eggs, become maggots, then Pupa, before becoming actual flies. Like horrible buttterflies realy, i suppose they are related, i dont think butterflies vomit on their food though. fascinating creatures. fascinating but horrible.
flies, they get around.

bored?

ok, as is always the way, i found this while busy and got completely sidetracked, ive spent the last half hour entranced by these machines. They are made by a man named Arthur Ganson and are incredible! so if you have a couple of hours free i would reccomend you check them out. I am fascinated by clockwork and gears and it is always a delight to see someone using gearing systems, some simple and others painfuly complex, to create such beutiful, almost organic, movement.
