Once upon a midnight dreary ...

... the Iconfactory came rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Or maybe they contacted me by email in the middle of the day. Whatever the case may have been, they were entreating me to create a few animations to accompany the several existing animations featuring the tiny Iconfactory factory.

When the Iconfactory site received a complete overhaul last year the question was asked, "Shall we continue to feature our rotating factory animations?". Quoth somebody in charge, "Nevermore."

One can, however, still have a peek at my various variations on the factory by looking here. And the cleverer among you have probably guessed that my clumsy references to Poe mean that I also created a few animations of a Halloweeny flavor: Behold the hairy, scary Werefactory! Gasp at the carnage which awaits an unsuspecting Mealfactory! Shudder at the untimely, unceremonious demise of the Deadfactory! And last, but not beastly least, hide the children from the tummy-churning pixellated gore that's in store for those who dare cast their stare in the direction of the Fleshfactory! Easy, stomach.

portrait of the artist as a young man

I recently overheard a conversation in which someone roughly the same age as myself disparaged the hairstyles, clothing, cinema, et cetera of the 1970s. I was, needless to say, utterly aghast! But I will, you can rest assured, keep on truckin'.

noob on board

When a gang of gamers, coders, hackers, modders, phreaks, and other assorted l33ts wants a tshirt design incorporating its skull-wearing-horn-rimmed-glasses mascot, 1980s pixelled Pac-ishness is apparently not the direction to push it. Oops. See it here 'cause you won't be seeing it on 100% cotton.

peacemaker dunny

A friend, frequent visitor of this blog o' mine, and multi-disciplined creative furnace requested I personalize a dunny for him. I did and he took the little tattood fellow on a video journey. This selection, one of several, is my favorite!

wireless fidelity

Technical illustrations aren't exactly the stuff that excitement is made of, but an illustration dealing with the posibility of free WiFi access from anyplace - be it in an apartment, inside a parked car, up a tree, or at the bottom of a dumpster - does give a guy a small thrill. Unfortunately, some people took a bigger bureaucratic bite than they could chew.
