Man what a week! I have been very busy, the wakefield website finally went live! And I had major inspiration regarding some of my canvases and a new website design, and the top secret game that I am working on. So I have been working intensely.

Anyway as promised in my previous post, I have uploaded a few of my works in progress as an incentive to get them finished.

I am sucking at getting things finished at the moment. I suppose thats OK though, because there are times when I can’t even get started! So I am going to use this time to get everything started and then use one of those times when I can’t get started to finish everything off. lol.

Anyway, this blog has proved quite motivational and it helps me keep my mind organised. So I have decided to post up a load of the not finished stuff. That way I can hate looking at it all unfinished and it will motivate me to finish it. ha HA! so expect them to all be uploaded in the next few days. I think I will create a new gallery expecially for works in progress for my gallery, then you can look in the relevent folder to see them when they are completed too!

Anyway, Today I went through my sketchbooks with a digicam and uploaded a load of sketches from my pad. I was a little indiscriminant, so there’s probably some crap.

2008

Things that I have sketched. Some of them were probably from 2007 but I uploaded them 2008! I got a moleskine so I went a bit more nuts than previously

I haven’t posted up anything in a while…. thats coz I’ve been working on lots of different things and not finishing any one thing lol. I also spent a lot of time on the new wakefield website, the new connectsphere website and my eshop, so I’ve been mega busy.

Anyway,

What I’ve been doing in painter… I’ll post up the finished thing when I am happy with it. lol.

This is pretty scary,

As people in our office are aware coz we’ve been shouting about it, certain stock image libraries are suing left right and centre about images on websites, particularly from sxc. So if you aren’t sure you have the rights for any images on your websites, best make sure you have or remove them before the bots hunt you down and charge you £1500 for a teensy thumbnail. It seems to be a big part of their business model, they buy up image gallerys after people have already used them as well and sue them afterwards.

Here are some forum posts about it.

So be aware.

Apparently its not illegal and they are totally within their rights.
