Woe is me...

So my last post was about the fun I had on the shooting excursion organised by the lovely people at Hinchliffe’s Farm. It is with no small degree of sadness that I post this…

Dozens of firefighters are tackling a huge blaze at an award-winning Netherton farm.

You may remember, last year I produced some scientific videos for The Music Room and Tribal Planet testing the Tribal Planet gig bags. Somehow, however, I uploaded all but the last two to this site and then promptly forgot I’d made them. Almost a year later, I’m putting together a new portfolio of my digital [...]

News, updates and such…

It’s been a quiet few months lately. What with the Christmas hangovers and the declining economy I’ve had a little time to do my own work. The Twisted World of Doctor Wombat is still trundling along, but somewhere between releasing an issue every Tuesday and the current time, it’s mutated into a book which means [...]

The Twisted World of Doctor Wombat

Those of you who have had the (mis)fortune of coming across me in my other interweb guises will have no doubt, at some point, been forced to sit through me talking weird about a webcomic I’ve been threatening to do for some time. The strip is, in case you didn’t guess from the title of [...]

Moooooooortaaaaaaaal Kumquaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

Episode #4 of the Tribal Planet testing series has been (officially) released today and here it is in all it’s silly, silly glory. I am especially proud of this one, I think they’ve come a long way in the last few weeks.

Fruit salad anyone?

Mucking About on the River

Here’s the third episode of the Tribal Planet tests. This one is presented by me on account of The Doctor being unavailable. Enjoy.

var button = document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_link_54′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_icon_54′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_both_54′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_button_54′);
if (button) {
button.onclick = function(e) {
var url = this.href.replace(/share\.php/, ‘sharer.php’);
window.open(url,’sharer’,'toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436′);
return false;
}

if (button.id === ‘facebook_share_button_54′) {
button.onmouseover = function(){
this.style.color=’#fff’;
this.style.borderColor = ‘#295582′;
this.style.backgroundColor = ‘#3b5998′;
}
button.onmouseout = [...]

We’ve Got a Crush on You…

Not quite hot on the heels of the last Tribal Planet video I put together, I’ve been allowed to release this new one that was shot this week (the third episode was shot a week before this one — however that works!). More fun, more mucking about, still no fakery.

Enjoy.

var button = document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_link_53′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_icon_53′) [...]

Testing the Best…

I’ve spent the last week or so working on this video which I’ve produced for, variously, for The Music Room, Tribal Planet, Acoustica and the sheer hell of it. Enjoy.

var button = document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_link_52′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_icon_52′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_both_52′) || document.getElementById(‘facebook_share_button_52′);
if (button) {
button.onclick = function(e) {
var url = this.href.replace(/share\.php/, ‘sharer.php’);
window.open(url,’sharer’,'toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436′);
return false;
}

if (button.id === ‘facebook_share_button_52′) {
button.onmouseover = function(){
this.style.color=’#fff’;
this.style.borderColor [...]

Icons… Shiny shiny icons…

Nice and shiny icons created for my friend Anna for a web project. I never thought making icons could be so much fun, but when you’re limited in how much space you have, and how often you have to swear at the pen tool for going what can only be [...]
