Self Portraiture


I was pretty starving when I got back to halls from uni today, so I stuck my head in the cupboard. My hot cross buns were warm! Like body temperature warm! Scary stuff. Besides that, I have been bringing my self portrait project to a close today, pretty much have all my final pieces sorted now, ready for the crit tomorrow. I tried to go a bit 'jasper goodall', didn't really like the simplistic style I had started with - needed to jazz it up. I took some of my straightforward vector portraits and added some background crazyness. We were limited to black and one other colour, so for each individual piece I chose a different colour to add a bit of variation. Meh! I think it turned out alright in the end, after a lot of faffing around in the early stages trying to work out what I was going to portray.

New website

I have recently put the finishing touches to my new css website. After learning quite a lot of css in a uni workshop, I realised how retarded my old website was. I redesigned it, in an attempt to simplify the design and make it a bit easier on the eye. Also, the html validates! Which my old site definitely didn't do. I didn't even consider web standards! I have kept the old html and flash sites available to view, I quite like to keep old junk hanging around the place. At some point I hope to redesign the flash site as well...but I'll need to get Flash before that can happen. Using css makes it a whole lot easier to update the site without tearing my hair out so updates should be fairly regular. I have just finished another uni project, based within illustration. I will aim to put some of the work from that onto the site fairly shortly. More info in the form of a blog entry on that to come!
