Shop Product Category Images

July 25th, 2008

I thought I would try and make some category images for the main shop categories for the Ocean Addict site, and here are some of the first ones:

Category Icons for the Ocean Addict shop

I felt vector images better suited the general style of the site, since previous graphics like the SAS Beach Cleanup image looked so good the moment it was planted in the sidebar.

Here is a pencil sketch of Calm Down (from the 80’s cartoon Stoppit and Tidyup) drawn while waiting between support messages for a server yesterday. Very theraputic.

African Sundew Plants

May 18th, 2008

I have experimentally planted some of my African Cape Sundew’s offspring (drosera capensis) down by our garden pond where they seem to have settled in quite nicely with the thousands of flies that hover about around there. I found a broken pot in which to plant them, that I partially buried on its side so that a bit of water would be pooled in it, but also begin draining off if the level gets too high.

Yesterday I was given the interesting task of creating a looping pattern of smarties to be printed off in giant scale and wrapped around the outside of a van. After buying several smarties and taking a few photographs later, I produced this pattern:

Bottled Grass in the Earth Hour Darkness

Some grass had taken seed in with my glass bowl of Cape Sundew (drosera capensis) and rather than unearthing it and killing it, I decided to re-home it in a decorative blue glass bottle, where it has been growing happily ever since.

About Me

I am a web designer/digital artist currently studying BSc Digital Art and Technology in Plymouth University. I have returned for my fourth and final year of the course following my year in an industrial placement with the web design company Neovirtua and my own freelance work.

Puzzle Flash

Based on a couple of puzzles I received a long time ago, this flash generates a random puzzle and then jumbles the pieces up for the player to solve.

Puzzle Flash game mini screenshot The flash actionscript behind this is flexible enough to allow for any size puzzle to be created and jumbled as many times as I like. In addition to this, the difficulty of rotating pieces is also a feature.
