Watching Big Brother Watching You
Last weekend my work sent me to the new Big Brother house to take some preview photos that we could stitch into a Photosynth. Now, I haven't watched BB for years, but knowing that this is the final series, I was seriously curious to see what it's like to be in there. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it felt. I could live in a house like that provided that, y'know, it wasn't on TV and everything. Oh, and I could redecorate.
I could certainly see how easy it is to forget about the outside world in there. Well, forget it the wrong word. But I can see how unreal or unconsequential the outside world must feel when in there. I imagine the boos and jeers some housemates get when they're evicted come as quite a shock.
Anyway, here are the Photosynths. And if you don't know what a Photosynth is, it's one of these things below.
Walkthrough
Console Towers
A short while back a colleague and I entered a gaming webcomic contest over at The Escapist. We didn't win and probably with good reason. However, I am pleased with the artwork, so here for you is the first (and only) four strips Console Towers.
Random video test
Sometimes I have an idea for a project. I set up some test shots, only to remember that there is only 24 hours in the day, and many of those hours have to spent of such things as work... eating... sleeping... y'know. The usual rubbish.
Which means I end up with random stuff like this. Clearly a project that would be a little dated if I actually went ahead with it.
Anyway. Enjoy this random test shot.

iPhoneography
Just a few random photos from my iPhone. I thought I should put them somewhere.
‘Shopping with Post-it Notes*
I made this video a couple of weeks back for MSN UK. Before the Lib Dems' position got, y'know, interesting. Anyway, it was a fun little challenge.

Vector-based book covers
As part of their Inspiration series, Vector Tuts+ has a selected over fifty great vector-based book covers. I love looking at stuff like this in bulk, it really helps you get an idea of what themes are used often, and how they are sometimes subverted. Here are some of my favourites.
