New in


I've been working on loads of cool new projects of which I will include on here as and when viable. For now I've added a couple of new site layouts, a new logo and some artwork that I've been toying with.

Check out the portfolio section!

Wallpaper
A friend of mine Warren asked mentioned to me that he liked the wallpapers over at Rapidweaver so I took it upon myself as a challenge to try to re-create that look. Hopefully I've got pretty close, anyhow Ive uploaded it so you can download as a wallpaper....should you wish? If there is any demand I may create a tutorial showing how I created this...

Enjoy, click to download ....
