Here’s the interview

I’ve also been working on an interesting project with my new neighbours at brand spanking new Goram + Vincent (formerly Digby Digital and Double Art ).  It’s the new My Drinkaware web app which has all sorts of helpful tips and ways of keeping an eye on what you’re drinking, through a very slick and sophisticated web interface.

Along with some other projects I’ve been doing that you can also see in my work area, I thought I’d feature this little mouse that I was asked to illustrate recently.

The first two are sites I worked on with DNA, where I was in charge of the Web Design, Illustrations and XHTML/CSS.  The final site is one that presented a few technical challenges as it involved delivery of client-specific video preview areas amongst other things, but I enjoyed getting my hands dirty in some flow-player coding and my colleagues CMS.

I’ve had my head very firmly down working on lots of interesting projects recently which hasn’t left me much time to think about my own website.  However, I was once told that if you want something done, you should ask a busy person, so I decided to refresh my site anyway!

Rather then create the site from scratch and reconsider my own branding (which can be a lengthy process), I’ve adapted a theme from the guys at Theme Trust called ‘Filtered’ that does exactly what I need for now and means I can go back to concentrating on other people’s sites :]

Any thoughts always appreciated.

These icons were to compliment but at the same time augment an existing style that the client was using, and I’ve enjoyed making them :]

If you like what you see and there’s any illustration projects you know of coming up soon that I might be able to help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch as I’m fond of the odd doodle :]

It’s been a long time coming as it’s a personal project, but The Homeless Button Society’s new website is coming to a inter-web-technology-online-net-space near you soon. Exactly when is up to my lovely wife as it is her business venture, but I couldn’t keep it to myself any longer, so here are a few snippets to keep you busy in the meantime:

It has an easily managed and lovely basket and checkout if you fancy buying something..no more clicks whisking you away before you’re ready, just a few options and an easy way to amend your order as you’re going along.

Some little flourishes of design to keep you interested.

A fresh typography in the logo that I can thank Max at Studio Chirpy for his help on.

And a flickr-fed gallery that updates when flickr does, so only one place to tweak the gallery content.

I’m looking forward to getting this site live…I just hope someone buys something!

Whilst working on my lovely wife’s new shop website (coming very soon now), I came across a mighty helpful Flickr gallery plugin for WordPress unsurprisingly called ‘Flickr Gallery‘ and it’s I’ve used it to bring my Flickr account inline with my website (or vice versa?!)

Anyway, pop on over to have a gander at some of my latest photos.

I also thought, maybe this is the sort of fun I get to have on a daily basis that other people don’t get to see, so anyone who’s remotely curious, I got to draw myself, some pandas and a teddy bear today.

My client runs a tshirt business (www.binky-bristol.com – They specialize in little people clothes), and I thought a process diagram of how they make a tshirt was a good idea.  This then developed into a panda (as they often print animals on tshirts), and then finally I found out that their business is named after a specific teddy (Binky), so he became the star of the show.

As you can see, with such great photos of myself, it was always going to be a winner (heh heh)…although I couldn’t compete with the teddy! But I just thought you might like to see what I’ve been up to.
