Quick Fire

August 27, 2005

Just posting a quick hit. I’ve been using Painter to do some work for ‘work’, and for a change it seemed to go ok. I can’t paste the full image as it’s NDA related and it’d give the game away.. but I cropped to some of it to post. I haven’t used Painter for ages, [...]

I’m Not Dead, Just Resting…

August 27, 2005

Ha. I wish. a) I’m snowed under b) I still have to redo all the files I lost for good in the Great Hard Drive Meltdown. c) K2 Beta One needs too much fiddling with to get working on here at the moment. So, watching wallpaper curl would probably be more productive than coming here [...]

Make Your Own

South Park character Go Here Kewl. Oh btw, I know my tag blobs in the side bar aren’t working and I haven’t figured out why yet. They were working last week..

Gallery Upgrade

August 7, 2005

If I have the energy tonight, I’m going to upgrade the sketchbook gallery to Gallery2 RC1. Which probably means reinstalling the embedded hack as well. So things might get weird, break or disappear completely. No change there then.

Breaking the Lead

August 6, 2005

OC playback file I’m a bit crestfallen. My Wacom intuos 3 came with quite a nice array of nibs when I bought it; four standard, one spring loaded and one ‘felt pen’ nib. I fell in love the with the felt pen immediately. It has a really nice natural feel to it, and also makes [...]
