Keep trying
That’s the only way things seem to get done. By really trying. Putting as much effort in as possible, until the time comes that either inspiration sets in, or another way becomes obvious, or for some reason the problem just disappears in some way.
I think the worst thing is if one gives up, no matter how tempting. [...]
London Rain
There are some things in life that are really lovely… Rain in London is one of them I think.

The Cloud of Conclusion
Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is to write, sometimes the hardest. One thing I have noticed about myself over the last few years, is my predisposition to write when I want to design. I think either it helps me get into the groove or it kickstarts my creative side.
It seems that the process is [...]
Happy Christmas from Blue Eye
It’s been a good year here at Blue Eye HQ.
Lot’s of change, most notably in this website. I had been planning to start a blog for a long time, but never either got round to it, or figured out a good way to go forward with the idea… But at last it’s here. :)
Thanks to [...]
How to be a better designer in 5 steps…
There are all sorts of blogs and tutorials out there to help designers with certain techniques or to achieve a particular effect in Photoshop etc, but there aren’t too many on the practicalities of being a designer. I have decided to list a few that have either come to me naturally as demanded or were [...]
One Fast Mousetrap!
I’m sitting in my kitchen thinking about the year that has gone by… I try to count up the goals I had set for myself last year and how many I actually completed. Fortunately, this blog was one that I did manage to complete - even though it was in the latter part of the [...]
Productive design day & Image Update!
I have been wanting to write a meaty blog post only to have the dreaded blank screen in my head, let alone having one on my computer. Actually I have had only one phrase buzzing through my mind today: “Sleep is the enemy.”
I like the succinctness of it… Of course the phrase itself is ridiculous. [...]
Image update!
It’s really very nice when an image runs as smoothly as this. A very stark contrast to when the day is hectic, the image can run smoothly. Obviously - days don’t always run that way, but when they do, work actually becomes therapeutic. :) Part of a collection I’m working on.
The set as a whole? Most definitely Work in Progress. :)
Pencils help design
To my mind, the pencil is still the best connection from the brain to the real world. Pens are good and all, but the pencil is where it’s really at. I’ve always been a fan, and now, unless the situation absolutely demands the use of a pen, the trusty .5 HB is the weapon of [...]
Tune of the Day!
If you only listen to one tune today, make it: Steppin’ By Reel People. the bridge chords are like a warm hug…. Or something.
Really like it lots.
