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.

Venice Watercolour

Ok another girly Venice watercolour painting for GW as he has complained that there’s too many people pictures, some people its like they haven’t got anything better to do than argue with their wife over sandwich flavours.

I went on a trip a week ago with some trainers to Amsterdam (that is trainers as in people who train not trainers as in my shoes, I was obviously wearing shoes). To cut a long story long they started on about these psychometric testing tests they did on the people they had trained. It was the Myers-Briggs test they were on about. So I got back and looked up the test and there’s various flavours online and will match your test to a 4 letter combination.

Its kind of freaky as I have done 3 now completely different tests and have came out with the same result from completely different questions.

and this is the result “The classic temperament of an INTJ is Promethean, or Phlegmatic, for whom a basic driving force is the search for competence or excellence.”

Which itself is actually amazing, how did they know about the phlegm I had last week ?!?!? Or maybe it was just a touch of catarrh caused by my horse allergy.
