Website Coming V Soon: Quick Update and Proof!

www.simonfitzmaurice.com has had a little floating placeholder for quite a while now, so I'm actively learning dreamweaver as we speak (found a book in a charity shop for just 50p!).

Here is a shot of my homepage. All the type is from my own hand, scanned from sketchbooks then arranged in Illustrator:

Some of the main decisions are being made right now. All the links and functions are working, I just need to edit my content and decide on my general presentation. Experimented with side-scrolling pages rather than vertical scrolling, but some of the images just don't work that way (portrait camera shots that can't be cut down).

Relocation to Harrogate & Father's Day

Busy week. Just moved to Harrogate, N. Yorkshire after finishing my course in Bath, so lots of packing, travelling and settling in. It was father's day last week end, so I made him a little card, and found an excuse to try using some colouring pencils again (not a comfortable medium for me, but good for recording and capturing with quick sketches).

The theme is nuts, from all over the world (he loves nuts, always talks about how good they are for you). Lovely shapes, but difficult textures to capture.
