Herve - Together

This is a rather clever and totally surreal video for the song. It reminds me of Art of Noise's videos and the brilliant yet simple animations of Terry Gillian on Monty Python's Flying Circus. In that objects, people, animals are all animated from still images or composited over live footage.  I happened to notice the video when it was shown during a VJ set on Saturday night ( I think that's short for Video Jockey? ) I thought I'd share it....... enjoy!

Colin's 40th

As a special surprise gift for my Brother-In-Law's 40th Birthday, I had an idea to get the old pencil out and draw a caricature of him. Now Colin, by trade runs a successful business making celebration cakes and selling delicious Belgian chocolates and other delectable indulgent treats.
So the natural way to produce the picture was to find a photograph, draw out an image and then using Photoshop paint it.
I was quite pleased with the result and judging by the reaction from him and everyone in attendance on Saturday evening were as well!

This could the first of many fingers crossed!
