Illustration Friday 012607 : Red

No hidden meanings, just something most of us see every week... (Does anyone know why blogger's compression adds artifacts to blocks of solid color? Any way of avoiding it?)

Illustration Friday 011907 : Superhero

Look, behind that desk - it's an ex-librarian - it's a media developer - it's... DIGITAL DIVA! Able to negotiate new software in a single bound! Faster than a speeding laser printer!

Actually, my estimation of my own abilities isn't that obnoxiously high, but this is an idea that I would have had to flesh out for a class assignment if I'd carried on with my course last year. ("Place yourself as a superhero within a 3D environment.") No regrets that I didn't finish the course (Foundation degree in Multimedia), as I've learned far more in my job than I did in class.

Anyway, the source for this illustration is one of the few photos taken of me that I actually like. (It was taken 15 years ago, but hey, who's counting?)

Illustration Friday 0105007 : Buzz
