A Quick Update

I just updated the main portfolio section of the site with some new work for a new clothing company (hoof), a Theatre group Phoenix), a Web Development company (Thinking Differently), a lovely magazine (Waitrose Food Illustrated) and some personal bits (For Me.) You may have noticed there has been a change taking place with my work.

For the last couple of months or so I have been doing more simple colour illustrations. The new work has less detail, but hopefuly better concepts and more vibrant colour palettes. (I am currently fascinated with two-three colour images!)

- As they say less is more.

Anyway pop over to the portfolio to have a peek. Feel free to leave a comment here.

A lick of paint...

yay

The sun's finally out, maybe summers here! Nice timing too as I've just finished giving My Broken Shoe a fresh lick of paint... or I guess, pixels. Hopefully it's a bit more friendly in feel, light and airy. Everything is pretty much in the same place so links should work but if you come across any hiccups feel free to drop me a mail or pop a comment in here.

Special thanks to the folks over at Newstoday for the help and feedback on the new design.

But wait that's not all! - I have also uploaded some new work for Sainsbury's Magazine, Sight and Sound and The Big Issue. Point your mice over toward the portfolio section link above to have a peek.

Oh and yep that is my handwriting, good huh? Have an explore, hope you enjoy it.

A Tweak and an Update

As mentioned yesterday I have recently been tweaking the portfolio section and have just uploaded it. I wanted to acheive three main points with the redesign:

•Firstly to improve on the size of the main images. With increased details the image sizes no longer seemed suitable with much detail being lost.
•Secondly to reduce the distracting nature of the thumbnails. I always felt the colours clashed with the image on show.
•Finally I wanted to start out the inconsistency with the two news sections, the front page and this, the blog.

After much head scratching I realised I could conquer the first two points by moving the thumbnails to a seperate page and thus releasing much needed space. I have also widened the whole site a touch. The third point was sorted by removing the front page so that you land directly into the portfolio. Although an abrupt entry to the site I figured as that is what most folks are here for it made sense.

There are further additions that will appear soon, including an archive and some easter eggs. - geeky I know, what can I say?

Anyway, enough explanations have an explore, I hope you like the new version.
