2/2/2008: Vague Plans

Well, rather oddly and not unpleasantly, the Spores have been receiving a fair few emails from people wanting to buy Spore Art.  So I'm getting to work now to see what I can do about creating some kind of Spore Shop, filled with lovely SporeThings...Probably prints, shirts and a few original pieces, paintings and drawings and the like. Maybe more, who knows,  I'm currently at the conceptual stage of getting my act together on this...

There's a  few more updates in several galleries, I'm slowly getting up and running again and will be making the site prettier soon.

 

19/1/2008: Getting there...

Haha! I've procured a secret supply of FreeTime™ and have been using it wisely! Added two new Daily Spores, along with two new SporeComics; Joy and Fight.

With this unexpected increase in time I get to actually do stuff I've even managed to start posting on b3ta.com again, so there's probably a few new thingies in the b3ta gallery.

 

4/12/2007: Two new things!

OK, so I've now got a new hard drive, monitor and scanner and am able to do stuff again. So I've made a new Daily Spore and a new DporeComic :)

New monitor shows up how crap the old one was as all the contrast/brightness settings for most of the pics on my site are a bit fuckulated... oh well!

Hello again though, it's been a fun 2 and a half years with not much internewt, but now I am back...ish :)

 

20/7/2005: A New Release!

I'm rather happy, mostly due to the birth of my son, Braelen, who arrived here quite happily on the 13th of this month. Which rocks mightily.

So I'm now kinda busy looking after the recovering Zoobie, my daughter Jaz and little Brae all at once. The Spores (and my amazing sister) will  be helping too, of course, in their fine frondular doomy style.

My new project, The Queue has gained some popularity, with thanks to b3ta for their newsletter entry. I'm receiving quite a number of Spore Name requests, so bear with me if it takes me a little while to manifest your Spore.

 

21/4/2005: Groodlunk

The joys of fate, my computer is dead so I'm offline for a while, designing greeting cards and implementing ideas. And getting annoyed with Seagate customer services, as my hard disk was two weeks old when it exploded on me.

So nug and buh to it all, I shall return when I have a functional poooooter!

 

24/1/2005: Ka-Porp!

The lovely people at Spice have made the Spores a rather groovy T-Shirt Shop. Feel free to buy SporeShirts™ and evolve into something new.

Added some more pics to various galleries and have been preparing some groovy things for the Near Future™. My scanner is my friend.

The Dailyish Spore™ is kinda up and running again, I am also working on a method of squeezing several more hours into a day, around forty or so would probably give me enough time to get things done.

With legs like those you should have been a tree.

 

3/1/2005: The Waiting Is Over

Finally, it's 2005! I've been waiting for 2005 for aages! It's the year Transformers The Movie was set in, so it has to be a good one.

It is The Future, Now!

Finished a short doodly story entitled Spatula. It's in with the Spore Comics™

Updated the Sporepaper section, added more pics/short anims to the main galleries, began to work through the backlog of crap I've got to finish on the site. Soon most things will be working and The SporeFish may reply!

 

1/12/2004: The Newest Update Yet!.

Nug.

Short update, added several pics to various galleries, and am attempting to find time to get a good deal more photographs scanned and online - as there's lotsa nice images lurking that I'd like to get online.

That was a rather lengthy sentence, I'm sure that this one will be slightly shorter...

Will also be updating the site with buttons and the like sporadically throughout the next while. 

Working on restarting The Daily Spore™, will probably save it until January (again!) Vague?  I can do vague.

 

12/9/2004: Reanimation.

Well, this has been fun -recently  lost my other grandmother, shortly after her hip replacement op (which went well incidentally).

Strange days, this year. On the bright side, I'm singing in a band and am vaguely able to get online to update stuff now. There's loads of Random waiting to be scanned/uploaded, shouldn't be too long before there be fresh yumples and caraplaps for all...

 

31/5/2004: Noddy is chewing my brain.

I've been battling a rather unexpected *whap* of depression and general fuckulance, but am now happily returning to semi-functional status :) 

Lots of things ready to scan and a new tune complete. Grabbify it  here.

Spore T-Shirts and RandomThings™ are on their way. Additional - new tune here

 

 10/5/2004: your fridge is restocked, please jump now.

I've bought a new fridge, had a birthday and discovered a lovely pub, but am vaguely online again now.

Daily Spores are being prepared, as there is a rather large deluge due to frondulate rather soonish, due to copious offline sketching. The Rift has been soothed somewhat, but the Spores are adapting well.

 

15/3/2004: a slight fluctuation in productivity

I've been a little distracted from The Daily Spore™ and other bits by an unexpected death in the family. My lovely gran has gone adventuring in the unknown and shall be missed.

Nevertheless, the Spores are semi-functional and shall slowly return to normalish service over the next while. Also, I've resurrected www.esoteria.co.uk, which shall soon host my more serious hallucinogenic artwork, photography and writings - allowing Spore Temple to contain Spores and Spores alone. Apart from the Fronds, Other Things™ and random animations for b3ta.

 

9/2/2004: fwipping madly at the curtains

More bits working now. Added the first installment of  the History of the Spores™, am in the process of scanning illustrations and photography and finalizing the music section. The Daily Spore™ is going well and I've recovered a load of Sporacular files I needed from one of my other PCs, so there'll be a big update soon. Also, grab my remix of I Love Horses here and the first selection of Sporepapers is online.

follow the fronds, release the spores

 

23/1/2004: More stuff up now.

A fair few more things are working, added the Spore Log, new pics and anims are being added daily to several galleries.. Sorted out an email form. Lots more Things Of Good™ on the way, (FAQ, actual site graphics, wallpapers, screensavers, decent anims, music, feedback page and random goodies) and The Daily Spore is going well, as in I'm actually getting enough time to draw 'em.

 

7/1/2004: The Daily Spore Is Born

The Daily Spore™ is up and running. A brand new doodly Spore Pic each and every day. I'll mostly draw these by hand and scan them if I get the time, if not I'll splurge something out in a painty prog.

Some galleries working now, filling slowly. They'll be sortified soonish and more flash stuff will emerge as soon as it's rescued from the dead computer festering next to me. fwip fwip fwip™

Some writing up now, more soon, and music too...

Fwip On™,
