http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion Something new every Monday, Wednesday and Friday... Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:58:51 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Some more bits and pieces in a sketch-book clear-out.. some are just 5 minute things from the last Dr Sketchy Belfast I was at.. (you can guess which ones..) http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2009/07/30/something/ Actually should have posted these back in April, as they are from the Belfast Dr Sketchy event back at the start of the month. Anyways, these are some of the better little 5 minute things that I scribbled down, before the next event in May: [gallery link="file" orderby="post_name"] Also, here's a ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2009/04/30/dr-sketchy-strikes-again/ Terrified by security concerns?  Be glad you weren't at Steve Willison's talk - XSS, injection attacks and CSRF reared their heads again.  I rack my brains over how this would affect the cadre of sites. On the upside, most of the talks so far have been incredibly empowering... wish there was ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2009/03/06/fowa-in-dublin/ With friend-wise permission, some sketches wot I did recently: http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2009/02/17/character-study-can-i-use-that-term/ So, yes, it's been a while.  I'm just posting up a brain-dump of most of the bits and pieces that I've doodled or drawn over the past month or so - you can take a look, and see if you are reminded or amused by any of it.  I've started ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2008/09/14/enter-stage-left/ Been slacking heavily for the past couple of weeks, but in between doodling stuff that's just horrifyingly bad, I did do some of the following.. :)  They're a bit smudged unfortunately, due to my over-zealous pencilling, and having lay in my sketchbook for a while before scanning. http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2008/07/29/been-kinda-lazy/ So here's one of Monday's drawings... on Tuesday :)  I'm on a mission to prove that Facebook is generally a bad idea if you don't want someone to pick at it, find your image, and proceed to turn it into something sketchy... I decided to keep the male-female ratio of photo ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2008/07/15/catch-up/ I've realised that I need to invest in some larger pencils, given the amount of shading I seem to do :)  On the other hand, I really want to make some of these ideas more "finished"; in painted or animated form.  An hour isn't really enough to do this, so ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2008/07/14/downtime/ This one is based on a darkly comic short story written by John Clerkin - it's an excellent vignette about a disgruntled gardener for a future corporation.  I'm trying to convince him to have a stab at doing a graphic version - the only problem is that the story would ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2008/07/09/mark-as-urgent/ Spent much of yesterday fiddling with other non-drawing things (well, if you exclude Flash), but I woke up this morning at about 5:30, flicked up Facebook to notice a few old housemates had changed their profile pics, and started drawing.  A cookie if you can guess who this is... as ... http://www.blitter.co.uk/draftexclusion/2008/07/08/time-is-short/
