Is this summer?

This was taken from my bedroom in July. JULY!!!!!!!! It looks like autumn. Has the weather gone mad? Last year was roasting, now we are all swimming in the shit infested flood waters. This is not good, people have lost their homes, belongings and some have lost their lives. It's so horrible and people might be able to cope a little better if the next month or so was roasting hot and dried all the water away and cheered up. But it has fore casted more of the same Luckily I live on a hill as you can see from the photo so my house is ok but the town was well flooded in June. now it's the south and lower midlands turn for floods.

My pets

Hands off, mister, thats my turtle.

I eat turtle for breakfast

My cat loves macs too.

She also likes modems as well. She finds them very comfy.

New Website on the way

New website along the way.
I feel really happy about this one because I feel my visual realisation skills are finally up to my ideas.
I feel I am producing more honest and more truthful work because I have stopped being so heavily influenced by aesthetics of other designers and look more for things around me in my life and historical art & design.

I have taken advice from various other designers and visual people with regards to my website design. I have made it all about my work and the actual design elements of my site are very minimal. This is because a portfolio site should be simple and quick to navigate, accessible, content focused and function over form. In my opinion anyway. I have lots of plans for the websites future and will let it grow and evolve. I am going to attempt to learn basic javascript, hahaha that should be hard work.

I don't know exactly when it'll be completed because I want to finish some current projects first.

I need to post more.

This is the start of more regular posts. I feel an urge to update more because maybe more people will view it, but mostly for it be a tool or an asset to me. To force myself to search for more historical and contemperay art and design references and other things in life that my inform me creatively.
A big part of my degree is written theroy and I didn't realise this until the end of my first year (the acedemic year just passed) and I looked at all my grades and I didn't do very well on the written and theroy side of things. haha oh well, you learn from mistakes.

So with this in mind I can use this blog to write about art and design and with practise, improve my skills. Also I like to talk about updates and things to do with my website as well because I am shifting towards different ideas and projects that will use my web space as part of the projects I have planned.
