New look for Quit Your Day Job
July 6th, 2008
In case you haven’t been here before let me start off by saying welcome and also you’ve arrived just in time to see the new look.
I felt it was time for a change and I wanted to go back to light colours as opposed to the darker tones of before.
I am working on a series of banners actually and they will periodically be rotated (or be randomly selected if I can get that to work like I did on Pop Culture Heroines). Â The first is everyone’s favourite corporate marshmallow spokesperson Mr Stay Puft.
I intend on doing several different series of illustrations reflecting icons from my life. Â I suppose I’m happy to let you all know that it will be:
- Mr Stay Puft
- Gizmo
- Falkor
I’m hoping to get a chance to do Falkor tonight but there’s a bit to it, first I draw the pencil sketch, scan it in, use a vector tool (Flash in this case) to draw it in the computer, then port it over to Fireworks.
So it’s not a quick process but I really wanted to change the template so I stayed up late working on Mr Stay Puft.
The other cool news is that I was so happy with the ‘Fearless‘ picture that I did you can now buy it as a greeting card.
I’m not going to leave it up there for too long so you may want to get yourself a couple sooner rather than later. Â Of course I’ll be adding more and hopefully have a couple of prints available soon (maybe t-shirts, maybe).
Also I’ve updated the advertising panels on the right, there are three panels you can buy (quite cheaply too) and one of these days we’ll be adding a new poll.
