• Find and Replace SQL for Uploading a Local Wordpress Site

  I’m always forgetting processes like this, which are occasional for me. So this is a note of the SQL query I use to get local wordpress site up and running online:

• New Scaffolding Platform Internal Extension!

  Just had this platform inserted into my live/work space. Pretty jolly, huh? Great chap called Marcus sold me the tubes, and as we delivered them together I realised it was going to be a pretty tough job erecting the structure. He agreed to help and it was done inside an hour. Neat. And less dangerous [...]

• Anatomy Jam #1: Spineflower

  A while ago I began to think of re-presenting familiar natural structures, as either other structures equally familiar, or as chimera- recombinations of separately recognisable forms. I’ve been enjoying the resulting patterns somewhat, and want to pursue the method. For these Anatomy Jams I’ve been using images I scanned from De humani corporis fabrica, the [...]

• All On Red Management: does my Copyright matter?

  Oh look! My work has been used without my permission! So… I met the director of All on Red Management last year for a coffee, and discussed the development of a website and logo for his management company. Things seemed to go well, we agreed to go ahead. I looked forward to a straightforward, enjoyable [...]

• The Amazing Chimneys of Leeds

  I’ve always loved the ramshackle ornament of Leeds’ Victorian terraces, the perceptible if slight dissonance between intention and realisation.

  Also I enjoy variant focal depths on reflected objects. So you probably shouldn’t listen to me. Instead, try putting a piece of paper between the above two images, and move your head closer to the screen so [...]

• The j in jQuery Stands for Joshua is an idiot

  So a few days ago, I promised a technical guide to my integration of jQuery animations into this wordpress theme. I’ve never done a techy post before, because I know about as much as a part-trained shrew (and that’s just how I like it). But this technique seemed so easy (and powerful) when Jonathan Lister [...]

• Blog like it’s 1864! With JQuery.

  Things look a little different around here, no? In explaining my experimental new wordpress theme, I’m going to relate a little history, mull a few mental processes, and hopefully in my next post elucidate a few of the techniques I learnt.
  So in May last year I constructed a new portfolio for my work. This went [...]

• Notes on Notes

  My notes tend to look like this. When I’m lucky enough to have made them at all. More often they simply don’t exist, and gradually the half-formed experiences, revelations, ambitions and remembrances I live cease to exist also. At least in my conscious mind.
  So this is a note to myself; a note to remind me [...]

• Burning Temple

  I did this like ages ago. It’s lost. Do you like it?

• Interrobang!

  Published in Notion Magazine (issue 36) – an article on magazine typography… I recommend you look at magCulture for more stuff about magazine design…

  Forgive my ruthless universalising: when it comes to a word, you can speak it or you can write it. But every time a word is used, it is subject to an infinity [...]

• Scan Glitch

  I made these semi-accidentally by scanning photographs for Johnny Flynn’s website, and moving them around slightly. It’s a technique I’d like to experiment with more deliberately- I’d like to find out what motion and timing has what visual effect, and choose images or combinations of images I think would work.
  I’d like to try scanning a [...]

• New Portfolio Site

  Well. This is, I hope, the solution to an issue which has been bugging me a little. Not a lot, you understand, because I’m really not the type to care, but a little is enough to merit measured attention, I’m sure you agree. The problem was that I became uncomfortable using this blog as a [...]

• Vanessa Caswill

  In 2007 I put this site together for a friend, the brilliant director Vanessa Caswill. I thought I would put it up here because I really like the site and her films. You can watch a couple of them on TVBomb if you have Joost. Enough shameless pluggery, sir. I bought the book, which I [...]

• Mothhands

  I made this a while ago, by dipping my hands in paint etc. It’s actually huge, but it only exists on computers. I need a big printer. Hands up anybody with a big printer… I’ll give you a special apple for the use of it. Oh- it was preparatory work for an album cover which [...]
