Halfords 'Santa'

Finally, my first proper post on this blog. I've just completed a short CG job for Halfords' Christmas campaign: Father Christmas riding a bike to Halfords to collect presents for all the family! Agency M&C Saatchi must have had their finest minds developing that concept all year! Sarcasm aside, it's turned out to be a nice job, despite a particularly punishing budget and schedule. The 10 seconds of 3D animation will be cut together with product shots illustrating various promotions in the run up to Christmas.

Blog!

I've now managed to get blogging functionality working on my site. Basically I'm using Blogger to handle the blogging backend, and a neat little PHP parser called SimplePie to take the RSS feed from Blogger and embed it into the front page. Now I can make quick updates from anywhere, finally bringing my site out of the static HTML era. The next step is to get the portfolio working dynamically, which will involve me learning more PHP, so it could be a while.

Site update

I have neglected this site quite a lot due to the amount of work I've been doing recently and it seems a few pages are broken. I am working on a complete overhaul of this site and that includes a new portfolio section which will hopefully be up and running soon. I also have a new blog-based front page which should allow me to post updates more often. I intend to post new work up here fairly regularly, but knowing me it is unlikely to be that often... we shall see.
