I am making an early start to my new years resolutions, first up will be redesigning this site which I have been meaning to do pretty much since I created it, pretty poor show …

In addition I shall be creating some more showcases of my retouching, design and illustration work so watch this space.

Above is a quick doodle I did over the Xmas break whilst snowed in at my Mums, the oven was bust no no roast turkey, but she did make a valiant effort and we still had turkey albeit in schnitzel form (it is true that everything does taste better wrapped in breadcrumbs) and dauphinoise potatoes – I even brought the leftovers back to London, mmmm

A Flash and XML application that allows Annelize to update all her images and text, this is complemented with a WordPress blog to capture better Search Engine results and I will also add a suitable Iphone version using JQuery

I have done a number of pieces for photographer Garry Errill, and should be planning a new website for him to showcase his work come the new year.

My postings have been somewhat erratic over the last two months as I have been very busy working with Ranald Mackechnie on work for the Football Association, Guinness Book of Records and currently working on updating his website, also some fashion retouching for Doug Hurcombe at Astroman Corps and a chunk of retouching for LuxPhotoDigital for clients like Avon and LSA. Got to squeeze in a couple of websites over the next two weeks and then I am off to Somerset to see my brother and family and then to my Mums to visit the contents of her fridge, who I am afraid will possibly not make it through to 2011 …

Will be giving this blog a facelift when I return, mind you I have been saying that for at least a year. 2011, bring it on!

A whole series of images taken by London Advertising Photographer Ranald Mackechnie, we created a soft focus/overlay effect to create an illustrative effect akin to vintage football cards.

Make-up artist Alison asked me to give this image a bit of extra punch, I have applied a contrast mask to give a bit more tonal depth plus an overall smoothing, colour adjustment and the works.

The image is of Jaime Winstone taken by Anita Steinstad @ Shelter (www.shelter.org.uk)

Glenn Harper is an accomplished photographer, retoucher and CGI modeller who I have known through LuxPhotoDigital Studio for a while and was asked to design a website to showcase his personal photography.

The site uses Flash and XML so Glenn can easily update the number of portfolios and images, and we are currently developing the site to add a Javascript (NonFlash) version for Iphones as well as developing the WordPress Blog to sell some limited editions prints.
