Finally I have a new website. It's only taken me a year or so to get around to doing it but I found the time and it's gone live today:

I'll be using the blog there instead of the journal on deviantArt to keep my mumblings and bumblings in one place in the future. Do stop on by the website and keep up to date on what's happening with me via. the blog there. Of course, I'll still be uploading my work to deviantArt, you don't get rid of me that easily!

Show these deviations some love please. This is a small selection of some of my recent favs!

I released a blank template for my first paper toy a couple of days ago, called Bertie and I'm really keen for others to produce some custom skins for it. I've started the ball rolling with my Bertie 'Rainy Day' custom, and I have another one in the pipeline that I'm working on, but it would be great if other artists could bring their own styles to the template so if you're interested, please download the template and get cracking!

I've also started working on a new web site to replace the simple page I currently have at moopf.com as I desperately need to do something with that site, and bring things together in a more coherent manner.

Anyway, that's it for this update. More soon, I hope.

Nothing much to say really, just wanted to update my journal with a new selection of favs, this time some older ones that I still love.

I'm still beavering away on ideas for a children's book but my real work keeps getting in the way (been working all today on the day to day, "normal" stuff.) Also keep looking at the long amoeba piece that still needs finishing for our front room. I'm determined to get around to that sometime soon.

By the way for all of you that are on Twitter, please feel free to follow me at moopf @ twitter. Only recently started using it and I can now see the attraction

Bye!

Welcome to my new dA journal layout. It's taken me a few days to get it finished - I knew what I wanted but twisting the CSS to allow it was an exercise in frustration. So, what exactly does this layout do that I'm so excited about...

See that header at the top. Reload the page a few times (leave 5 seconds or so between reloads otherwise you won't see what's going on.) Now, if you're in IE7 or above, Firefox 2 or above or in Chrome etc. you should see different header images when you reload. Neat, huh! Nothing amazing I know, but stretch your browser window - you'll see that the main part of the header always stays in the middle, whilst the background stays in place. Now that took some working out - I'm a stickler for wanting things centered! IE6 users will always get the same header because that browser doesn't recognise PNG transparency unfortunately so that gets a design that doesn't need it.

Oh there's something else at the bottom of my journal as well - the "Random Doodle-oodle-Lings" box. Again, reload the page and you'll get a different doodle. I'll be adding doodles on a regular basis, and more headers, but after spending days on this already I need a break!

There are a few tweaks and CSS cleanups I need to make and if you see a header where the background doesn't appear to go with the foreground do let me know what browser you're in. Pulling in two random images that go together as a pair was a head scratcher and it may go wrong once in a while!

Show these deviations some love please, they're ones I've found recently and I think they're great.
