Another update to what I am doing with the Mclaren Blueprint. This time I am toying with the idea of making it like a technical drawing. I am still looking at doing the camera one which shows where cameras are usually located in racing games but I seem to have hit a dead end with that one at the moment.
This one was done very quickly using the raw ‘blueprint’ outline I got from the internet, if I took this one forward, I would go round the car in Illustrator as per my others:
Small update on the Mclaren, it is still a work in progress, and the idea is coming along nicely albeit a bit clunky…
Meanwhile the Mclaren I posted up last time is now my iMac desktop wallpaper.
A quick something that I have done, in preparation for another idea I am working on and have had for a while. Coincidentally, this has become another contender to be put on canvas…

The second in my series of Helveti…

In the midst of finishing off some university work and whilst I still had the sewing machine out, I decided to make a case for my Wacom Bamboo. I had been wanting one for a while and only just got around to making it as I found I had some spare denim left over from the project last semester. It just so happened I made one at the same time as someone else made one (here)… but luckily their one was different, so good job.
I might upload a pattern so you can easily make one if I get around to doing that and perfecting the one I made, but that might be a while off yet.
Started work on a WRC Polo as requested by Mr Lynch on the impending announcement that VW are to enter the WRC. Time so far has only been just over an hour working on it.
It seems that whenever I switch on my computer, I open IOGraph to make some images. They don’t disappoint.
This one was created in about half the time of the last one I posted, but I was actually doing some work this time.
The other day I stumbled across a piece of software which, unashamedly, is giving me some quite geeky fun. Called IOGraph, it tracks the movements of the computer mouse or trackpad and turns it into ‘modern art’ in a style not too dissimilar to artist, Jackson Pollock.
You can have it running in the background and a few hours later, when you have finished what you are doing on the computer, you will find a unique image that is based on where your mouse is on the screen. The programme which gives you a live preview of what it is doing or creating, shows lines for movements, and if you have the mouse stationary, a dot appears, the longer the mouse is stationary results in a larger dot.
I’ve noticed from using it that there are some areas of my iMac screen that I very rarely use, such as the bottom left hand side of the screen, or in fact, the left hand side of the screen in general.

Below is the mouse trackings for almost 4 hours and it is wonderful.
Just a quick something I’ve knocked up and in the progress of doing amongst sorting out the minimal amount of work we have this term. A lovely Volvo in S60 form. Based on a photo I took last week, and no joke, that is the actual number plate that I saw on that car.
In a push to get all the fun things done on my to do list before university work becomes just a bit too much, I managed to get the Audi Quattro I was working on finished, and in good time too. It took a bit longer than the Escort, but this one was much more detailed.
