| Added another new image to the Bryce gallery | ||
| November 16, 2003 | ||
| Have added a new image to the Bryce gallery, and a new(old) image to the miscellaneous gallery | ||
| November 11, 2003 | ||
| Added another image to the Bryce gallery | ||
| November 3, 2003 | ||
| Have added a new image to the Bryce library. I haven't done any 3D for a while, but got the urge this weekend. It was probably kindled by sorting through the 3D stuff for the two images mentioned below. | ||
| October 19, 2003 | ||
| I've created a new gallery to display images from software that I don't use often enough to warrant creating separate galleries for, and have added an image created in TrueSpace and one done with Realsoft 3D | ||
| October 11, 2003 | ||
| Updated the Xara Gallery, with another image and have also added a "Mini Tute" section for Xara | ||
| October 6, 2003 | ||
| Added another image to the Xara Gallery | ||
| October 5, 2003 - 3D software for the price of a magazine!!! | ||
| The current issue (in the UK) of "Digit" magazine has a full version of Carrara Studio 1.1 on the cover CD. | ||
| October 5, 2003 | ||
| Have added some more images to the Expression gallery. I am using Expression for about 95% of my image making now. It is just so versatile. Of course the biggest advantage of just using one piece of software is that the operation becomes automatic, allowing you to concentrate on the creative process, rather than having to stop midstream, to try and remember the shortcut key for a particular task. | ||
| October 1, 2003 | ||
| Added a couple more images to the Expression gallery and a new image in the Xara gallery. | ||
| September 25, 2003 | ||
| Have recently added four new images to the Expression gallery. | ||
| May 16, 2003 | ||
| Have just spent some time playing with PhotoImpact 6SE (see below) and have added five new images to the PhotoImpact gallery. | ||
| May 14, 2003 | ||
| Attention Australian Visitors The June 2003 edition of Australian PC World has a full copy of PhotoImpact 6SE on the cover CD. There is also a special deal on an upgrade to Version 8. Don't miss this one, it's well worth the price of a magazine. |

| Well, I am getting a bit slack at updating this page, though actually most of my traffic nowadays comes through the gallery index. Anyway during April I added half a dozen new images to the PhotoPaint gallery, a few more to the Expression gallery and I have just added a new one to the PhotoPaint gallery. |
||
| March 28, 2003 | ||
| Added a new image to the PhotoImpact gallery. This one was done for a challenge at the PixelParity Graphics Forum. | ||
| March 26, 2003 | ||
| Have added a couple of new images to the Expression gallery. Although Expression is designed for creating natural media effects, I have discovered that it is also very good at creating illustration style images. I have also added some tutorial links on the Blender page. |

| SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE: I have
received advice that maintenance in the Sprint network will produce
outages at the following time:
* LOCATION: Sydney, Australia |

| I am now starting to offer some of my Expression images printed on various items of merchandise, including T-shirts, mugs, mouse mats, lunch boxes and many more. Click here to see the images currently available. Because each image needs to be tailored for different items it will take a while to get all of the popular images prepared. |
||
| I am preparing the images in the order of popularity (the ones with the most hits will get done first). However, if you would like a certain Expression image on a particular item, send me an e-mail and I will make it available within a day or two. Make sure that you include the name of the image and the item that you require. I will e-mail you back when the item is available. | ||
| Here
are some examples of what is available |
||
| At the moment I am only offering Expression images, as the Expression pages account for over 60% of my total traffic, and the Expression images are relatively easy to produce at the required sizes. This may be expanded to other galleries if there is enough demand. | ||
| February 24, 2003 | ||
| You can now buy posters of selected images from my galleries. I have started off by offering a range from the Expression gallery, as this is the most popular area of my website. You can see what is available on the Expression poster page (The New Zazzle store is now open) | ||
| February 23, 2003 | ||
| Well, finally I have completed the web design section of the site. Now I need to get to work on the web building area, hopefully this one won't take quite so long, though don't hold your breath. | ||
| February 22, 2003 | ||
| Xara has released version 3.1 of Xara Webstyle. Owners of version 3 can get a free upgrade. To check out what's new, click on the Xara Graphics Logo

| I have noticed that some search engines have been sending people to an old archive page, when they ask should I get a graphics tablet? The page that they get sent to really isn't much help. So here is one that is, hopefully. | ||
| February 3, 2003 | ||
| Added another image to the Expression Gallery. This one uses the methods that I describe in my Tree Tutorial. I actually did this one while watching the Simply Painting program on the television. | ||
| February 2, 2003 | ||
| Added a few more images, another set of strokes and a tutorial to the Expression section of the site. Find them all from here | ||

| New Building |
| Maroochydore IT section has moved to the Mooloolooba campus. We have a brand new building with brand new equipment, and of course teething problems, but once everything is sorted out it will be great. |
| Maroochydore ?? |
|
A few people have asked where the heck is Maroochydore? Oh by the way, Mooloolooba is just a few miles up the coast from Maroochydore. |
| Site Revamp |
|
Actually, many of you will have never seen my old site, as it was only intended for students undertaking my multimedia classes at Maroochydore TAFE. However some of my students have persuaded me to make this available more widely. I think that their logic is "Why should we be the only ones to suffer?" So here it is. I hope you enjoy your visit.
