It is for Hitachi Hard drives. The idea is that all operating systems can use the drives fine apart from Windows 32bit. That needs a little help. This is what I came up with.

And here are the character designs.

Some days I feel a deep kinship with windows 32.

I have visibly joined Mo Choy Design ltd.
Visibly? Well, Mo is my wife and I have been a director of her company since about 2004 though purely as an ‘on paper’ and back seat driver sort of director. Recently we have actually been able to work together on some web design and really enjoying it. So when it came to building her new site it seemed natural to include me as the ‘digital bloke’. I will still be doing my own Illustration and animation but Mo Choy Design seems to be a more appropriate place for the web design and interactive work.

Publishing has come over all digital so why shouldn’t we!

Time to get out the mops, Mr Sheen and the pitch forks and have a go at all that detritus that has built up over the past year. Not that I am a big fan of that sort of thing. It’s my junk and I have an emotional (and in some cases literal) attachment to it.
This year I have been forced into it, in my digital world at least.
My web hosting has been upgraded resulting in SqueakyCards.com losing all the customizations and some pretty challenging times with Squeaky Pictures and this very blog. The technical issued are sorted now but I took the opportunity to add some new work to the Portfolio and do a little interior decoration here. I’m not quite finished yet. SqueakyCards is still default and I am still having a devil of a time  finding  just the right place for the digital scatter cushions!

The Rhinos’ horn is not an aphrodisiac. Messing with it is dangerous and annoys the Rhino. Click to find out why.
