The bulb blew in my front room, and the shops were closed. While looking for a suitable structure to hang my now disused festive decorations upon, I saw my BMX and thought it would make an interesting light fitting - pity I can’t cycle on it like that, I’d need quite a long extension cord :-)
Ok, so I haven’t posted anything in ages, so here’s what I’m working on at the moment (outside of work). I’m getting to know Blender - An open source 3d modelling / animation / and game logic programming package. I’ve just got the hang of vertex editing. I’ve still got to texture it, but here’s my first attempt, a kind of all terrain buggy / tank. My cousin’s learning game logic at the same time, so maybe i’ll post a quick game here sometime soon. ‘Till then, maybe check out blender, it’s pretty fun :-)
It’s my flatmate Erin’s birthday today (happy birthday!) and I thought, as usual, all the cards available in the local shops were a little uninspiring.. She’s a bit of a cat lover, so I made this cat and matching card from an old converse shoe box I had lying around. I took the outline of the cat from a photo I found online, then cut out 7 layers (different profiles to include tail, legs ears). The layers are stuck together with double sided tape. Don’t think I’ll be able to find an envelope to fit it though!
It occurred to me recently that I hadn’t been doodling anything for the last year or so. this must be rectified. Also dancing is great. so combine the two. [that doesn’t mean dancing and doodling at the same time, I imagine that would be quite difficult :-) ]
Noticed an annoying pile of boxes and also the lack of christmas decorations in my flat, so thought I’d fix both at once :-)
