EndFile pixel disk

Received my “pixel disk” today from EndFile

I must say, this is very cool. She has other colours of disk on her site. EndFile also has lots of other digitally inspired art, some for sale, on the site.

￡1200 from ebay. 230,000円 This laptop runs like a dream, HalfLife2 looks stunning on the pure blacks / whites “onyx” style screen in native rez. The only gripes I have at the moment are the placement of some of the keys… the “home” & “end” keys could have been above the arrow keys but instead they are above the numeric keypad, which is annoying for when I’m coding. Another groan is the placement of the trackpad, I only use an external Wacom interface so occasionally I forget to turn the trackpad off and end up clicking all over the shop.

Maybe I should try to convince HP to change this laptop to have a Wacom built in to the area where this trackpad lives? (yeah like they give a shit)

Paper Mario 2 & Mario month

Wicked little project, I printed out some of it on paper and then photographed it in various stages of being screwed up, to be used in the screensaver. The desktop application has a clock and calendar, runs as a windows desktop.

Ordinarily I am not happy with my own illustrations but this one has been re-incarnated over 3 versions to what I consider perfection. Printed twice and once as insane A0 oversize, it ended up being bigger than me physically!! Printed into postcards and a major feature in two of my previous apartments. Available as a poster, contact me for details.
