Rays

Spotted some nice rays of light this morning and took a couple of snaps -

Amazing aurora timelapse

Don’t you just wish every now and then you could magic yourself to a different place for a while ;-) When I watched this video this morning I almost was somewhere else for a while. It’s certainly worth watching full screen. Amazing work by Terje Sorgjerd it must be said.

A page from the book

A little bit more on the airship theme, after this one it’s a more serious bit of watercolour work on the agenda ;-) So, following on from this piece I wondered how the airship would work if it were included into a children’s book, the only way to find out was to rough up a page from the book :-)

The Good Ship Steorra

Found in a drawer recently, the a somewhat crumpled leaflet advertising flights to the stars on board the Steorra.


Mainly completed in Photoshop though the airship is watercolour :-)

Grumble…. mutter….

Today I bought a toaster, amazing I know. No I’m not about to start posting about every kitchen product I buy, but I will grumble and mutter a bit about this one (and in fact most electrical products you buy these days). My grumble is this….

Do you think the manufacturers sit down at design meetings and say to themselves, “let’s make a nice clean, shiny product, then stick labels on it. So when the customer gets it home they spend 10 minutes covering it in finger prints and scratches trying to remove the label.” I believe this label said “please do not lick the electrical contacts whilst standing in a bath of petrol,” or something equally mind numbingly obvious ;-)

So thanks Russell Hobbs, you make a toaster with a R.R.P. of £59.99 and it looks a right old mess once covered in finger prints and label remnants, I just hope it makes nice toast.
