Been far to long again my blogging seems to be getting more and more sparce these days but im taking today/tonight to get an update out there. Last time l spoke about direction and ideas evolution of an idea, thats coming together now slowly but surely im getting things to look how l want them too and more how l think they should look. l suppose this has alot to do with.

A) time

B) experience

C) trends

Dont know why l listed them like that but they all link together, im pretty new to the industry and was just feeling it out with the first incarnation of this site, not a test so much as what l thought it needed to be at the time. Then experience through time comes around and you learn things become more synced and tuned into what the industry is doing and now heres C) the trends and how they are changing.

It sounds simple almost rudimentary. how could you not adapt to this quicker but a change of a website isn't the sort of move you do on a whim and it comes with a series of reservations, its like redecorating nobody goes into that half hearted its a huge job and its your house its kind of the same value l have on the site its like a house and a complete renovation isnt a easy.

Im still not sure this is the right look and feel for the site but im going to give you a glimpse of whats the come and feel and direction the site might be heading in the not to distant future. l took some time to look through old sketches doddles ideas and notes l made when first dreaming up the website, what l wanted people to think and feel when they first viewed it. l still have a lot of those ideas and want that vibe for the site the colour the animation and made factory vibe and l think that can be integrated into the new site. Hopefully with better implementation l mean look at what your reading this on this viewing panel is quite literally a school boy error so all that needs changing. That 's what brought on the whole redesign and new look idea. Time matures a person and l think we would all agree 18 onwards you mature like mad your tastes and trends are at their peak of volatility. So the new look feels more grown up more refined but at the same time keeping the handmade and hand drawn feel it had before. l'm just trying to figure out how the colour comes in.

l guess you can get distracted by everything and everyone else around you and when you start to focus more on what others are doing and take your mind away from where your trying to get to you lose track of everything that matters. Things can perplex you and annoy you, even alter you perception of things. l see people pass up, take for granted even ruin mad opportunities just laid in front of them to focus on trivial pursuits, things of lesser value in terms of the values you hold even cross people in the process. But l suppose what you have to remember is if you dont do it no one is going to do it for you, moves dont appear in front of you, you make them, anything your handed you don't truly appreciate l dont think and thats another point when things turn, usually for the worse. Really you should just focus on you, only stop to view others too learn and further yourself and not get embroiled or involved in their idea or whatever their doing, theres a world of experience and inspiration out there take advantage of it. Move your focus and remember whatever your setting out to achieve or ascertain uphill struggles are the best thats where stories and memories come from. A scene or doing something to be involved in a scene isn't really developing or innovating its just replicating. Creativity is the key you can borrow other peoples or you can try kindle your own either done in the right way is good and it pays off anything else is just posturing. just kill it softly.

Anyways MAESTRO TIME maaaaaan old habit die hard and this one isn't going anywhere! Still one of the freshest most hard working individuals out there. Maestro is a genuine innovator and creative hub its a lot of envy and hate him for but we all should just give it up for him. Before we get the videos maestro dropped a sweater and boy did it go fast it was in limited quantities 80 in total 40 sweaters and 40 hoods, l stayed up till 5am to ordered and the small sold out in under a minute l didnt even get my card number in and it was sold out...PAR.

This is a genuinely interesting and possibly the first stylus for the Ipad and Iphone that might work properly the oStylus the fact your plam doesnt make contact with the screen means you can maintain full mobility and a stable control over the stylus. Using the Adobe programme on the ipad you can see just how well it works

Iphone cases are the worst and find one that wont do more damage to the phone than leaving it without is impossible, but this looks good its not he only one l have seen of interest but check it out it combines a wallet which is something that l thought would be a great idea. l lose my wallet more than my phone put the two together you should get some kind of balance right? Or just lose both more often...
