Hi Everyone!

As I don't have much time to visit here too often anymore, I have set up a Facebook Page which I am able to update quickly! So head on over to www.facebook.com/pages/Artwork… and like my page!

While you're there you'll probably notice the latest posts mention an upcoming product for Vue!
It's in the works at the moment and it'll be about a month before I can make it available because I need to make sure it works perfectly for all of you!


So head on over and check it out and let us know what you think.

Well it's been some time since my last journal update.

I just took a trip into the city (Brisbane, Australia) where the worst flood since '74 is taking place. Thankfully i'm safe where I am, high enough and on solid ground too.
The flood is expected to blast past the '74 record of 4.5m but won't reach there until thursday afternoon. Monsoon-like rain has been continuous since christmas. The Wivenhoe Dam which was built after the floods in 74 and supposed to mitigate another disaster is now of no use as the rain continues to fall.

My thoughts go out to all those in the low areas and I hope they all stay safe.

For those of you overseas wondering just how bad this is. Check this out:

That will show you what it's currently like.

Siggraph is over! It's my last day in LA and I'm very happy to be heading home. It was an intense week of 8am-8pm days on the E-On exhibit. It was fantastic to get access to the Exhibit at all times too! Met all the big guns back stage when no one else was around.
It is impossible to say how it has effected my career but it's sure to show in the next few months. I was lucky enough to meet up with two legends from Dreamworks Animation, a senior cinematic designer from Blizzard, people from Weta Digital and MPC (Motion Picture Company)... Among the hot shots there were others from the film industry who are less known.

In the coming months I will be commencing webinars for E-On Software and CGSchool. They will first be 1 hour training sessions using Vue and then expanding to 3 hour sessions later on.
Come October I have work offers ramping up considerably so it should be a very interesting time. I don't want to spoil the surprises now though but once I have something confirmed I'll post the info up!

Siggraph next year is in Vancouver, Canada and i'm keen to go! Next time, however, I'm definitely not going alone! I have had a couple of really quiet days here and I don't want any of that in Canada, I've been told the place is just a fantastic place and I wouldn't dare go without my girl! So watch out Canada! We're on the way.

In a completely unrelated topic, I've realised that you can tell a lot from a single frame of life. I have a photo of my girlfriend and suspended just a split moment before kissing and the more I look at it the more I realise it's not just two people entwined. A single shot like that can show who people are romantically. I'll post the picture up in a moment. I'm sure no one has bothered to read this far anyway


So long for now!
