Royal Fail

So its now under a week (6 days) til my birthday and as I get home from work first, I have to sort the mail thats arrived / shake any boxes not addressed to me and see if I can guess if theres a present in there for me. So anyway today, I get home and have the usual riff raff, plus a package addressed to me which is coincidentally the present for my mum which is also on my birthday too, how cute, yes I’m aware of it.
Amongst the junk is the postmans trademark slip for when you have to pick up a packet, thinking theres something else to pick up I read it, INSTEAD is a scrawled apology explaining how the postman mis read our clear number eight for the two digit number ten and thus, posted nextdoor OUR mail! How does this happen in this day and age! I’m pretty sure a seven year old is competent enough to do their job, providing they can read estranged surnames and reach the postbox.
Thus concludes todays highlight! Enjoy!


Red Dead Redemption

Buy Red Dead Redemption, being a virtual cowboy is as good as being a real cowboy, but without the sand in your hair or the horse crap on your shoes!


A While Ago. . .

Finishing up with university is a time consuming job I’ll tell you that, but with being ‘home home’ within a week, I’ll be back on board in no time!

Stay tuned!


Italia.

Having had a seven day break travelling Italy including Venice, Bologne (and its book fair) and Modena, I am finally home and this time, home home for the Easter break. Fingers crossed theres some Easter eggs for me on the weekend. So I’m back at work because you can’t survive in this day and age without cash, and although that puts a dampener on things I know I’ll appreciate the numbers when its time to purchase an automobile in the near future.

Outstanding – 1000 words left on one Illustrator study.

-Italy sketches, found here, combined with some computer jiggery-pokery.

Quick P.S – Check out the Facebook page, link below, or here if your lazy, for a change to chime in with your two cents, or pennies or whatever lowest form of currency you use. There could even be competitions and PRIZES if theres enough interest, so tell all your friends, tell your family, anything with a consciousness and lets do something!


Animation is fun.

So for Design for Screen I’ve been introduced to Flash and I’ve taken like a duck to water. 5 weeks ago I was a Flash novice and now I’m pushing my knowledge further every day.

Hope fully I’ll try to get some of the testers and finals up here to show you guys.


Snow Day

Well, its finally happened. Its snowed in Glastonbury. Now if your not familiar with the place. It never snows, it snows in a perfect circle around the borders of Glastonbury. Funny how it always seems to snow wherever you are not.

Well not today!

Today I woke up for another day at work, but no, the world is blanketed in snow! Yeah I can’t make it in today, so its a relaxing day getting snowed in!

Hope all is well.


Back To The Norm

Well Christmas is over, that was fun wasn’t it, I got lots of books and some clothes that don’t fit. How was your haul?

Well its back to normal here, gotta keep to schedule and not let all you guys down.

Hope you all had a great Christmas, New Years on its way!


Merry Christmas Etc

It’s that time of year. No not Christmas, but I’m busy all the time! Working hard all day and then university work in the evening takes its toll. Don’t worry though, I won’t forget to post regularly.

Hope you all have great Christmases and New Years!


The Door is Open

After much deliberation with FTP servers and mac compatible software I have finally found the solution. Snapshotsmiles is up and running permanently now!
So with anything new its straight to a routine, expect posts same time same place and for any newbies out there, thats Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Welcome to the party!
