Here we go, updates!
Since the last post, I've done some more website mockups for Candy Jar, and some book work, but nothing really that I can link or display just yet. I've also done some more book work for Barbara Spencer. But on another note, I'm now working part time at a print shop in Newport. Graphic design and odd jobs for the most part, but it's good fun and looks like it may lead somewhere!
Health wise, things have been a bit dire. Constant cough and aches, and my wisdom tooth extraction had to be cancelled because of those facts. Also had to rip out my room last week. Things are starting to look up though.
When I get chance I'm going to update/rebuild my website, but I've been a bit too busy to even look at it at the moment. It shall be done soon!!!

Oh bother (as Eeyore would say)
Ok, yes, I know. I fail at blogs. I seem to say to myself "right, post an update this week" and then it gets pushed behind other things and before I know it, it's been ages. F A I L.
Anyway. Upadate, yes.
Work at NCH finished quite a while ago now, back in May. I miss being there, as it was a good atmosphere, but things move on and I still keep in touch. I'm currently still working mostly from a netbook...and my pc's when they decide it's a good day to function.
Since mid-May I've been working with a media company in Cardiff, Hubbub. It's good fun and we have space hoppers in the office to keep us amused. It's also right in Cardiff Bay, so I can always nip out and practice my new hobby of power-bocking (yes, I know i'm going to break some part of me on those things, but it's fun!). At Hubbub I do whatever gets put in my to do list really, it ranges a lot and includes animation and websites.
Hubbub is launching a new section of the business soon called Candy Jar. Will link that when possible. The other thing that's just been launced from them is Terry Cooper's work, "Kangazang". You can get an audio book version read by Colin Baker or the original novel from here: www.kangazang.co.uk
Circus has been doing ok also. Numbers were up this term with an average of 13 attendees, we've been involved with SWICA in Cardiff, doing Dragon shows at Raglan and Belle Vue Park, we also did MAS Carnival with them (Yay!). We did stuff t Park Life, the Riverfront Open Day and we're doing Cityfest this week.
Ok...think I'm done ^_^
Oh, don't remember if I mentioned...the book "Running" by Barbara Spencer is available on Amazon, with my cover. Woo! It's also available in selected book shops I believe.

Been forever
Well, it's been forever yes, because my pc is still out of action. Hopefully that will be rectified VERY shortly, as it's annoying. But yes, as i've been using my render pc to work on/netbook i've been forgetting to come on here and only checking my emails at a minimum. Ah well. I shall update on the lots of things soon, circus, art, animation, NCH, life, etc, but for now I shall just post this as I was asked to.
Test piece of work in After Effects:
And this, City Streetz montage made in just over 6 hours, including graphics, and filmed on a basic handycam...woohoo! Lack of equipment for the win!

Running Press Release
Right, here we go, very quick update of life: Things are somewhat busy, office job finishes in May (ARGH!) lots to do and no time. Oh, and BOTH of my pc's are out of action currently. How am I posting this you ask? A netbook...hoorah for the 9 inch screen...
Anyway, just been sent the press release/advance information for Barbara's book "Running". Get it as a PDF here or read below:
Running
A boy. A missing computer scientist. A secret so
dangerous, it must stay hidden from the world.
Barbara Spencer
“Fifteen year old Scott Anderson has a secret so big he daren’t share it even with his best friends. He and his dad are American. If you’re American, you don’t talk about it. If you don’t talk about that, you don’t talk about any of the other secrets that haunt your life – that your dad’s really a computer scientist and people are searching for him.
When Bill Anderson disappears, Scott is determined to find him. He has already lost his mother. She disappeared in the California earthquake, which killed ninety percent of the world’s computer scientists; a tragedy for which America is held responsible. But there’s little for Scott to go on; a scrap of paper left in a printer and a poster pinned to the wall.
Now someone’s looking for Scott, too. Is it the mysterious Frenchman, who pretends to be a radiation expert, or Sean Terry of the American Secret Service, who believes the United States innocent of the crimes leveled against it? Could it be Hilary Stone, the prettiest girl in class, who also claims to work for the American Secret Service? Or is it someone else entirely?
Following the clues, Scott heads north on his dad’s bike. As his pursuers catch up with him, it is Hilary Stone who saves him. Despite not trusting her, he grudgingly allows her to go with him to Scotland, where he believes the answer lies. After all, as Hilary points out; she has the gun.
The annual flower festival at the Keukenhof in Holland plays host to the final scene where, at last, Scott comes face to face with his pursuers, and learns the secret his father has always kept hidden from him.”
About the Author: In 1967, considering herself to be destined for a life of mediocrity, Barbara Spencer hi-tailed it to the West Indies to watch cricket, the precursor to a highly colourful career spanning three continents, in which she was caught up in riots, wars and choosing Miss World. She eventually settled in Somerset, to bring up a family, tap-dance and teach at the local swimming club. Now a hands-on grandmother, her current desire is to disappear in a puff of smoke and find peace and quiet to pursue her writing. Most recently, the launch of her children’s book Scruffy has taken Barbara into primary schools, talking and working with children on story writing.

Many many things
I should have updated a lot sooner, but I have been a bit poorly this week. I still am poorly, I just felt bad for not doing anything for the last 4 days. Oh well!
Newport City Homes work is keeping me very busy currently. I've done a lot of work on a project called City Streetz, this includes logo design; posters; tshirts; postcards; invites; programmes and a few other things. There is also soon to be a DVD. The project starts on the 15th and is a week long, so all the filming will begin relatively soon and then comes the editing and DVD production. I've animated an introduction for it already but haven't posted it on any of my video accounts. It's all useful for the showreel though!
I'm also on logo design for another of their projects this year, football based. Oh, and once the City Streetz project is done with I'm getting a few days experience with Voice Media...a design company in Newport.
What else...I can't remember if I posted information before, but I've had the final cover image shown me by Barbara Spencer (with the text and such added) That is currently being printed so it will be released in May. At least, that's when the press release is. More info on that nearer the time.
Um...I think that's it for work related items at the moment. I've started working on some personal pieces but had to slow them down a bit because of other things like NCH and circus. I'm sure I'll get round to things soon though.

Evil Internets!
Ok, so since Christmas, I have several things I want to update on, some of these things require imagery and currently, this poses an issue. My internet line has been running slower and slower, and now they're running tests and it barely works. So long story short, I'm changing ISP. When I have a decent internet connection I shall update!
