Robo Holiday

Another robot illustration done in flash. Yes I am off again. And boy do I need another break, its been a hectic of hectic weeks running around trying to sort my stuff out. Yesterday was rather interesting as I spent an hour designing a theme park ride in an hour in box with no air con. It was quite fun when I got into it but slightly scary !

Holiday this time to sunny Ireland, or actually hopefully nice a cool Ireland, far too hot in Warwick at the moment.

In the mean time here’s a picture of a robot in a field.

World Dancing Record

A few alien creature illustrations done in flash.
Anyway yesterday, what a weird day. It was the Warwick festival and also Big Dance Day, I went off at lunchtime to catch the world record dancing attempt in Warwick Town centre for the most amount of people dancing simultaneously across the country. There were a load of other crazy places doing the same thing all linked up with Tv stuff.

It was quite amusing as I swear everyone had gone nuts, after 10 days of 30+ temperature and no air con I think the heat had started to get to people. They were quite happy to make complete arses of themselves at 12 midday and most people there had dressed up in some seriously odd outfits, there were at least 100 people with their faces painted black. I think this must be because they didn’t want anyone to recognise them, also many people had bought assorted vegatables off the stalls in the market so they could dance with a leek or a califlower.

I did a very bad video with my stills camera so you can see I am not making this up.

Quick test version of a scene I am currently finishing off, just a lunchtime hack around. 3d model of an appartment block with various photoshop bits done afterwards. It was from my minds recollection of a photo I saw somewhere.

I was thinking the other day about work and my ideal job, well most jobs are okay some you even enjoy sometimes, however I actually would like the job of being a frog. It would be pretty amazing to grow from a tadpole and then all you do all day is sit on a lilly pad, when you get a bit bored you could have a quick swim and also people even provide you with ponds for your home.

I’m going to contact the Job Centre Plus today and see if they have any “Frog positions” available at a top company.
