My first graphics tablet - Wacom

I have bought my first graphics tablet, about time too.

Graghics Guru Gareth of Doodledoo recommended the Wacom Intous3, which looks fab, but in that I am still on a super tight budget, I opted for it's baby sister, the Wacom Bamboo Pen from Amazon, £39.00.

This is the smallest and probably most basic, but as a starter, on a student budget it will do for now.

Delivery due within a week so fingers crossed.  I'll give it a whirl and see how I get on.

Super Bowland talent, and my Jammy job!

How amazing is my job? I spent the day listening to rolling stones, guns n roses, fleetwood mac, elvis and more, whilst painting rock posters. All in the name of year 8 musical research and scenic mastery! 

Here are a few examples of the posters that will be used in the stage dressing for Bowland's "Schools will rock you" the school show version of "We will rock you!"

Web Authoring - Year 1

This was our final assignment of Year 1 and I put a great deal of work into it.  I am gutted that year 1's marks do not count towards our final degree, but then it is easier to get higher marks in the first year!

Here we had to design and author a website for our portfolio.

It is not live but I will try and load the .swf file if blogger allows in.

Here are some stills.




Final Mark: 83 = First

Cute Border Collie Puppy


After a workout and dinner, and TV with my hubby, what better way to spend the evening than putting 'cute puppies' in the google images search bar?
