Well the Loeries were awesome, I had a fantastic time (as usual). I also made some awesome contacts and had some crazy parties. If you're on facebook, check the photos out here:

Aah so I finally managed to get the video player uploaded onto Flashden. I'm pretty happy with the result, check it out:
Video player on Flashden

Started on the Sub urban website, I'm working on a lot of modeling in ZBrush this time round. So at the moment I'm just brushing up on the ZBrush. I think the website will be ten times better than the last considering that I know have a drawing tablet (Wacom Intuos 3 9 x 12 inch). Its going to be a really cool website.

If anyone is into ZBrush or digital arts, I recommened Gnomonology I think they probably have some of the best tutorials around for beginnings all the way to advance levels. Its really good to have atleast one of these titles on hand for referencing while you're getting a job done

Anyways keep well

Crazy weekend! went to watch District 9 on Friday night, very cool movie. The gore in the movie is way more intense than I initially thought it would be which is quite insane. Anyways after that had some drinks with friends. Got up early on Saturday morning to watch South Africa destroy New Zealand and win the Tri-Nations. Then went to a braai at a mates place and finally out for the night partying. I got home at like 4am and still managed to play basketball hah. You know you had a crazy weekend when you're stiff all over not from just basketball but from going nuts in a club.

Flashden:
I got the DXD portfolio website update complete and up I also managed to finish the video player component which I'll be uploading in the next few days.

Other work:
Basically I've got Flash Republics website to put together, Sub urbans website which I'm currently busy with now, A friend of yours website which I'm waiting for response on from LA, Flash Republic visuals for next month, another potentially awesome and well paying website job in November and finally a potential job for Adidas FIFA 2010 involving a lot of 3d work

This all means that I'm on point to get things complete before the Loerie awards which are only 9 days away. So some tought work for a week to go and then its a col party and relaxing time in Cape Town.

Hi, so I've managed to upload another component to FlashDen, The Dynamic XML Driven portfolio website. While it looks the same as the BXD Portfolio website I uploaded last month its actually got way more functionality and userability features. Its like taking an old car and putting a Ferrari engine in the bonet similar appearance but way more power. Read the description for more information

Check it out when you have a moment:

Apart from that I've managed to get a lot of other work done but still far behind what I'm suppose to have done by September, at the moment Sub urbans website has been sidelined until the company handling the new Sub urban branding can complete the new Sub urban brand. So we'll be pushing to get an extension on this cause we need well over one month to get it up and running.

Since I've managed to get that other component complete I'm now continuing with one I've been meaning to finish for awhile now. A Video player component and after that an MP3 Player component, I'm 90% done with the video player and about 50% done with the mp3 player. So I think I'm on track to getting things done before the Loerie awards in September.

Whats news

I've added some shots of the work I've been busy with this year, I'm really enjoying things at the moment. Apart from the usual grind (that means work to ill informed ;p) I've got some awesome holidays coming up! 5 days at the Loeries in Cape Town in September! Skiing trip to Italy in January 2010! 2 weeks in Mozambique, Tanzania, Serengeti, Malawi, Zambia and Botswana in October and September 2010!

Almost have all the capital together to get the first (of many) passive income ventures up and running which is really cool. The hard work is all finally paying off.

I have a list of things I need to get done before Loeries:

  • Rockstar wordpress designer book (finished this 2 days ago, awesome read!)

  • Thematic (Another cool resource Brad found to make using Wordpress easier)

  • Personal portfolio and blog (I managed to get the functionality done and a temporary design in place)

  • Actionscript 3 (moving through this slowly)

  • Flashden Video player component

  • Sub urban website 09



So yeah theres a lot to get done but its all pretty straight forward and I can get through all of it in the amount of time I have before the Loeries

The Flashden work is also pretty awesome, after uploading the BXD Portfolio website I can see Flashden as been a valuable revenue stream and I'd recommend it to any Flash developers and designers

Anyways hope you like the new work I've put up

Later!
