stuff going on in the world...

I've been trying not to post my journal entries to my sketch book blog - but today I have't done any fur or feathers! Really just wanted to mark world events - so am posting my 'flickr' journal page.

a bit of a bird...

A friend of mine told me in no uncertain terms that yesterdays Sparrow didn't look like a Sparrow it looked like a Great Tit.

There's no answer to that, is there!

Artrage - a great little programme...

There is a fab little painting programme out there, very cheaply, called Artrage. I have only just started scratching the surface of what it can do - but the paint effects are truly outstanding and very 'real'. The site is here if you want to have a look at it. For anyone who likes to work digitally for whatever reason, yet doesn't want things to look typically 'flat', then this is a good way to go without having to buy one of the heftier and more expensive programmes available.
