Rough Magic

All the plays are over now! On most nights were at full capacity and others we were well over 40 seats (of 80 seats)! It’s a relief in that I can finally now sleep in most days, but it’s also kinda sad ’cause I wont get to work with them all for awhile now. I […]


Building a portfolio website

For those of you that don’t know (probably everyone!) I’m enrolled on course called Flying Start, which is a training scheme for local artists and workshop delivery. Most of the advice we get is on promoting ourselves and, aside from word of mouth, I think one of the best marketing materials is a regularly updated […]


Twelfth Night

21|400
Tomorrow sees me going to the dress rehearsal for a rendition of Twelfth Night by Somesuch Theatre Company directed by Annabel Smith. Here’s some more info:

Trash

VJing

I need to get more done on my vjing work. So far I’ve done very little of it, and even less djing. I’ve been messing around with Pure Data, Xaos and Processing in an attempt to get some live processed images, and I’m now taking a peek at Ben Neal’s Phlumx software, but what I […]


Insectoid

Some of you devoted readers may know that I work occasionally with an art group call a.a.s. Group. I met them last summer on an art project called Destination Geodecity (watch a video of it here) and since then I’ve worked with them on their Insectoid project and, more recently, the performance at the Crowd […]


Open Source software in design

Seems like I’ve started a rather interesting discussion over at the Computer Arts Forum about the use of Open Source software in design.
I think that the general consensus is that Open Source software apps such as Inkscape, GIMP and Blender will never replace their industry standard counterparts because there’s nothing wrong with these products in […]
