ffffound.com (closed beta. Sorry, no invites left) is really very lovely. This: del.icio.us crossed with Clipmarks crossed with Flickr. It’s social bookmarking for images. It’s also a lot simpler than del.icio.us. As nice as that simplicity is, there’s a big part of me that really wants it to support tagging. I’ll try to share inspirational […]

Anthony Gormley – Blind Light
Anthony Gormley (the talented British sculptor who created the Angel of the North) had an exhibition in London at the moment called ‘Blind Light’. Although it’s presented by the Hayward gallery, the exhibition is by no means confined there. In fact, according to the Southbank Centre website, it “features sculptural casts of the artist’s body […]
Me and my avatar, morphed
Ian noticed Sqirlz Morph recently (via some rather fun composite Hot-or-Not images). I immediately started hacking with Sqirlz Morph myself, and found it to be much faster and more more powerful than any morphing tool I’d tried before. Of course, the first thing I did was to morph my real face with that of my […]
IBM 1401, A User’s Manual
From the ridiculous to the sublime… My brother recently got back from the Iceland Airwaves music festival. I’m a big fan of the Reykjavik scene (and really like Sigur Rós, Amiina, múm, …) so it was great to be introduced to yet another great Icelandic artist. Jóhann Jóhannsson is an Icelandic composer and founder of […]
Real, or rendering?
My brother, Sam Reynolds, is a stunningly good graphic artist who specialises in 3D, though he’s also annoying good with Photoshop and v-jaying with vvvv. His job has even involved designing skate parks in 3D Studio Max. He recently emailed me some renders he’s been working on. Would you believe that this is not a […]
Who wants to be a millionaire?
My latest LEGO creation. Chris taunts another contestant with a cheque…. but we don’t want to give you that.
Strategic Pursuer – LEGO image rendered using POV-Ray
Made the model in MLCad. (Find instructions for the set at peeron). Converted to POV-Ray using Lars C. Hassing’s L3P. Rending time: 4 hours.
Arty stuff: Inkscape, Dia and Artrage
Inkscape is a free SVG editor for Linux and Windows (an article about it was linked from Slashdot today) which spun off from Sodipodi. Dia is another related project; designed to be more of a diagramming tool (a bit like Visio). Dia (like Sodipodi) requires GTK. ArtRage is more of a realistic painting simulator than […]
San Francisco, Day 3
Another foggy day in San Francisco. By the end of it I will have spent an hour misleading an art gallery. First though, I decide to head to Alcatraz. I feel that the weather should perfectly suit the mood of the setting. I am excited about visiting the Rock. The concierge at the Hilton dashes […]
