Away With The Fairies

July 22nd, 2009

My dad helped me get a job recently. I’m quite happy about that, as my dreams of owning my own laptop have been getting dusty and need looking after. I’m designing a website for the band Muchuu. They’re a bit full of unicorns and happy-happyness, but I think they’re really good. Hannah loves them.

Dad got me the job through John Mostyn, a friend of his. John manages them and they wanted a website done before they go on Radio One, so they have something for interested people to look at.

Work and The End Of An Era

July 7th, 2009

Recoil logoI’ve recently made friends with the brother of a dude I go skating with occasionally. His name’s Joe (the brother of the dude, the dude’s name is Tim) and he’s in a band called Recoil. They play metal and it’s actually pretty good.

Joe and I were messing around on the computer and I showed him some of my Photoshoppery. He was pretty impressed (and I was flattered) and asked me if I could do a logo-type thing for Recoil. Above is what I came up with. It ended up being an album covery thing, and hopefully (with the approval of Sam the guitarist) it’ll be their demo cover.

Exams!

May 2nd, 2009

No TestsI’ve finally started my GCSE exams. I just want to get them over and done with because after them I get a really long holiday. I can’t wait!

I have just finished my art exam work. I completed two sketchbooks, two sculptures and a canvas painting. The sketchbook work consisted of an artist study, some paintings, some drawings, a collection of pictures I drew in Photoshop and other such pieces. That’s hopefully enough to get me a B grade, which is only worth 40% of my final mark. The other 60% is coursework. I also have sixteen other exams to study for. Oh dear…

My Pressure-Sensitive Birthday

December 3rd, 2008

Birthday Image

Oh yeah, it feels good to be 16. I’m all old, manly and cool. Well, old and manly. Well, old. But the point remains, I’m 16 and it rocks. I’m also sick and can hardly speak, but I comfort myself with the knowledge that I’m now one of those guys that I used to look up to and say “Wow, I wanna be like him! Older and responsible. He has HIS OWN fish and a phone!”.

Speaking about things that are mine, I have the coolest birthday pressie ever. My new Wacom Bamboo pressure-sensitive tablet is amazing. The cartoon above was drawn by me, on Photoshop! It’s so freaking cool! I haven’t used a mouse since. Buy one!

Dear God It’s Back!

November 28th, 2008

As you can see, the blog has been revamped (made a vampire again?) and I’ve started blogging again. I don’t really have a great excuse as to why I haven’t blogged except suddenly receiving 4635 comments linking to rather rude sites (spam perhaps?) and not being bothered to get rid of them.

I haven’t been up to much really, I’ve been playing around with Photoshop CS4 (see some of my stuff here) and I got a girlfriend (Hannah). Actually we’d been going out before I stopped blogging, but I just hadn’t mentioned her. Well, there you go.
