Abacus maths book illustrations

Boy playing tennis

Doing lots of small Illustrations (vectors) for Abacus Maths books year 6. They are getting together around 5 or more illustrators to do each book and fill it from start to finish with colourful illustrations. There aim to ‘Get children talking about maths and working together to solve problems’. I think it could do, they seem to be more pictorial than the maths books I learnt with.

‘Great tit’ T-shirt design

Asked to do a T-shirt design on a subject called ‘Great tit’. So came up with a simple design.

My portfolio website was about 5 years old and gathering web dust so i have decided to install WordPress, (the best CMS around), and do myself a nice new re-design. I think this is long overdue and am looking forward to using WordPress again, since 2.1, and having a blog .

I have designed and worked with lots of CMS’s including EasySite, ContentCurator, CMS Made Simple (not so simple), Joomla etc… but the new WordPress was for me. Also a real time saver is the new (WordPress 2.7) ‘auto upgrade’ button which tells you if an upgrade is ready, downloads and installs it automatically! I have used it already to upgrade to version 2.71. It installed in about 2 seconds. Get to upgrade by going to – Tools – Upgrade – ‘Re-install Automatically’.
