Emmanuel Guibert’s amazing drawing technique


This made me gasp. It’s stunning, and Guibert has drawn the whole Alan’s War using this technique. Think I’ll put it on my Christmas wishlist.

I’m Barack Obama


I did the RTE Electoral Compass to see where I stand in the US political landscape. Based on my answers I practically am Barack Obama, although apparently I’m 5% “more progressive” than him on social issues.
I’m not getting excited about this election. I hate George Bush and I think the McCai/Palin ticket is a terrifying prospect, but I think the messianic part of the Obama act is going to be a huge anti-climax for a lot of people when he turns out to be a fallible, toe-stubbing human being. And I speak from experience as someone who stayed up all night in ‘97 watching the New Labour landslide as if I were watching the Return of the Jedi. Look where that got the world. Thanks Tony.

Thanks Anthony!

I’ve been having some issues with my header art since I put it up there. It was jumping around all over the place depending on browser and computer. I had a look at it in Safari on a MacBook and it was half way off the page, so I decided enough was enough. I contacted Anthony, the designer of the Darkwater theme this blog is based on, and he’d a fix for it by the following evening, for about the price of a fish supper.
Thanks Anthony.

Wedding in Cabra Castle Hotel, Cavan


Here’s another wedding signing board from the wedding of Declan and Anna 2 weeks ago in the Cabra Castle Hotel, Cavan, where I also entertained their guests for the night! I’ll have some pics up from that soon.

Indian Outsourcing?

I got approached by an Indian animation company to see if I needed any work outsourced to them. Manufacturing and tech support outsourcing I can understand, but what does this tell us about India’s economic prowess and hunger for growth, and Indian companies perception of Ireland if they’re canvassing for business from me?
I suppose you can outsource anything to India now.
