Christmas doodles

JohnD — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 11:05:14 +0000

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

Fashion Retouching for Garry Errill Photography and more

JohnD — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 18:19:12 +0000

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!

Old and some very old illustration work I did at college

JohnD — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 11:22:42 +0000

when I mean old – these were done after college, around 1997-98 and some are later when I started plying around with photoshop for the first time, I actually ended up malingering around my old college helping out teach Photoshop

I hope I have improved somewhat, but it is always good to look back, some of the digital work was done later when I was preparing for an interview to do another course in 1998 which I decided would be a waste of time …

Old and some very old photography work from college and after

JohnD — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 11:04:16 +0000

I plugged in my hard drives into my my Mac and I have about 15,000 PSD files and a bazillion jpegs, time for a clearout methinks, I thought I would pull out a couple of images that I produced in college (1994!) which I had scanned in years ago, I had a lot more which I could not immediately locate – they are probably on a corrupted disc somewhere consigned to the mist of time

possibly the best place for them (?)

Photos:

sorry – all the images have gone in twice – whoops ?

Current work ….

JohnD — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:50:07 +0000

have not really posted anything for a while – i have been working on a big catalogue job, basic retouching and pathing round the clothing – the end goal to apply different colour effects to show the different colour options available for each item

i have obviously obscured a lot of the details here as the job has not been completed …
