I just spent all morning making this christmas card for connectsphere. We have made many flash christmas cards for them in the past although I did just reuse an old one last year. When I uploaded the new one, it was kinda nice to have a little look through the old ones. lol. I had a lot more time in those days. The one I did this morning had to be done to be sent in 3 hours, I was given very short notice.
Happy Christmas 2007!! -This years Not bad for 3 hours work.
The first one -This was the oldest one. :Edit: Arrgh! Apparently it wasn’t. The first one was santa falling down a chimney back in 2002. I wish I could find it! lol. That makes this from 2003. We reused this one for 2006 because it was still so good.
Connectsphere Sleigh -I think this one is the most recent one, 2005.
Santa’s band -Aw although its a nice idea, its so lame to look at! This years may be a little bit quick, but at least its got some style. lol. 2004.

I have lots of plans, I have been painting and drawing and trying to get better for this past year. And hopefully you can see some sort of improvement… I think I can see improvement, but I know I can improve more.. stupid artist mind. So in the next few months I have a few plans in order to try and apply what I have learnt and done. I thought that if I posted them up it might help motivate me to actually do them. And if I don’t do them then you can give me a kick up the arse. lol. Also it helps me get them straight in my head and they are written in stone on here, rather than on scraps of paper all over my studio.

Plan 1-

I have made an eshop for Land of Painted Sky. I really want to get it up within the first 3 months of next year. It will have my paintings, prints, badges, customs and handmade toys ( the first being atomic bunny), and eventually tshirts, maybe one day comics (see plan 2). If theres any suggestions of what you want to buy off me, please let me know.

I also thought I could use it to distribute posters and cd covers of bands that I have designed.

Plan 2-

I have many short stories, some of you may have heard or seen them over the years. Pandora’s heart, the heart keeper, the boy with hair, the butterfly collector. I really want to spend a little while illustrating them all and getting them together into a nice little book.

Plan 3-

And really the first plan that needs to be completed by the end of the month, is to get my portfolio into a decent state where I can post it up on hire an illustrator.com without being embarrassed. Lol.

Other slightly unrelated plans -

Include, a games review website showcasing reviews and webcomics by me and my friends. If you have anything to submit, submit it to me now! Also I am currently concepting for a game, but its top secret.
