Adopted into Oracle – I always get so jealous of this team.. They get to do what I consider to be the fun stuff and branch out to create unique innovative apps / tools with a great UI. In the last year most of the blogging has been on mobile devices and I believe these guys are really pushing apps to the limit and I’m sure 2011 will be there year to impress us all.

Oh the days, when I had hair and was young..
Now I`m just older grumpier and with less hair and lots of wrinkles imagine when I hit 30!!?

Anyway another photo manipulation a piece of my older work.

Yes its a photo manip not drawn picture scaled down check it out select the thumb to see the original.

I quite like this piece, there is a lot of emotion behind it.

The Zonta; a new Smart based car, made it’s world debut at the 2007 MPH shows. “Unfortunately I couldn’t make it, but I hear it did make quite an impression.”
It currently has 250BHP per tonne power to weight ratio with just a tiny tuned 700cc Smart engine! And whats best is the cost!

For around £13k you can get one of these custom built and painted for you!
Now compare this to the Ariel Atom which costs around £30k+.

This car looks like a beast from the front and look at those gorgeous 17″ wheels; I can`t wait to go and take it out for a test drive!

The only drawback and dislikes are the Smart seats (but I`m sure these can be pulled out and replaced) and unfortunately the rear of the car doesn’t have that smoothed off finish like the Atom, but if you could splice the back end style of the atom with the body of the Zonta this car to me would be perfect!

If I had a choice forget the cost between the Atom and Zonta, I would have to go with the Zonta its bigger, it looks more aggressive.

About 3-4 years ago a friend of mine wrote a vampire, zombie book: “Apocacrypt” at least, I think thats what it was called. After a hard night of clubbing in the center of Amsterdam, drinking floogle and tequilas I managed to get this shot of him.. yes yes the picture on the right is the photo..

As a tribute to his newly finished book, I photoshoped him into a zombie to reflect his idea of a zombie.. However I’m sure the original photo would of been fine

lol.. He’s so going to kill me…

Kris Fosh has to be one of the best illustrators I’ve worked with. [www.Dreamfever.co.uk]
As a webdesigner, I am happy to say my drawing skills aren’t amazing, I’m more of a programmer with good photoshop skills than a designer, even though I do get a lot of compliments for my webdesigns.
