Checking Out - Ending 2016 with some pictures of clouds

At the end of the year I usually round things off with a bunch of photo studies of landscapes, cloudscapes, wide open spaces in general. It's incredibly relaxing as there are no big decisions to be made about theme, colour palette or composition - I just put together a collection of reference photos and work through them.

I worked on these four at a time, switching between them when I find myself treading water and noodling around instead of making real changes and refinements. These are my favourite four out of eight.

Checking In - June 2016

Earlier this year I made the decision to leave adigi, the digital agency I'd be working for over the past 3 years to focus on my own work and related commissions. While I was technically working on commissions and my own practice at the same time in reality the agency work always took precedence. I learned a huge amount about design practice and theory working for adigi and I've been itching to incorporate those skills in to my own work.

I finished working at adigi in a regular capacity back in March although I'm still in contact with them and have done work there since. Mostly though I've been doing pixel art work for videogames, some of which I can hopefully share on here soon.

Ironically considering my previous line of work this website has been in a half finished, un-indexed state floating in Limbo for the past couple of months but I thought I'd kick off the blog here with a sneak preview of a personal project I've been working on.

More to follow shortly!
