Sooo now there’s another online events listing. But I’m pretty sure this one is (or will be soon) better than the other 23423555.

This is a yummy slice of tech history. Back in 2006, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sketched this conceptual, um, sketch of Twitter’s original UI on a notepad.  Snip from the description on Flickr: The 6th year; the idea has finally solidified (thanks to the massively creative environment my employer Odeo provides) and taken a novel form. We’re calling it twttr (though this original re

Mazda will show a new SUV concept car at August's Moscow International Automobile Salon that shows the potential for a smaller brother to the CX-7. Smaller than the Mazda Hakaze concept from two years ago, the concept does not directly preview a production car.

Here’s a hot hatch that’s all torque! The Audi A3 Clubsport Quattro is the latest barnstorming diesel to be unleashed from Audi’s Ingolstadt HQ.

Spent a few days in Winnipeg last week. Depressing place. We lived there over 4 years ago and I haven't visited since. Nothing had changed. If a city could be going through a clinical depression, this would be the best example of it. Sad and with no hope to rise above mediocracy. Garden Corner, Ink on Paper. Speaking of mediocracy, here is a sketch I did no the plane. Nothing much, just a picture to go with a post :)

Many of you have probably never heard of Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz. Although somewhat lesser known than Dr. Joseph Mercola (of mercola.com *fame), the two men are very close together in their wellness philosophies [particularly in pointing out the benefits of a raw food diet]. In their disciplines, their fearlessness and dedication to altruism has distinguished both men as virtually unassailable. In the opinion of many, these men rank as the two most nutritionally advanced health researchers/authors alive today. This is no accident. Both men are fond of speaking their mind and when they lecture or hold workshops, corporate moguls cringe while chips fly like confetti at a tickertape parade. Where truth is at stake, these men seldom exhibit any respect toward corrupt vested interests. *Dr.

Cheers Boston! (fellow travellers at Logan Airport, Boston, USA September 2006) 8" x 10", pen and sepia ink and coloured pencils copyright Katherine Tyrrell Drawing and sketching people is an invaluable way of developing a wide range of artistic skills. I've been drawing people for very many years - family, friends, people in cafes and restaurants, life class models - and other artists.

Ellipse An ellipse creates a circle that is shortened on one axis. They can be handy in a profile, but can also be a little tricky to constrain. There are two methods for creating an ellipse, By Center and By Three Points. Either method uses the same technique for creating them. When you create an ellipse, you pick the first location of the ellipse, pick the location of the primary axis, then pick the location of the secondary axis. Trimming It is sometimes required to trim curves that overlap or need extending. The Trim functions on the Draw toolbar provide the capability of trimming curves. The command trims back the portions of curves that are selected. This can be done by picking curves individually or by dragging the cursor across the curves to remove. The trim options also apply geo

The Changan Automobile Group is poised to reveal this V802 hatchback concept at Auto China 2008 in Beijing next week. Though little is actually known about the concept at this point, it's fair to say that the compact hatch, which resembles a Ford Focus especially when seen from the rear, is near production ready. Check back with us next week for more information and photos as we report live from Auto China 2008.

In most practical landscape art books somewhere there is usually the statement 'always have your sketch book with you' - today, like most, I put my bag (containing sketch pad etc) plus the camera into the car for what really was a day for just exchanging paintings at a few galleries. You never know what's going to attract your attention - for me today it was these daffodil's carpeting the ground in a small wood. Unfortunately a fence blocked any better (?) views but with a small amount of 'artistic licence', removing some of the smaller twigs and some possible replanting a worthwhile painting should be produced.For my sketches, which can be anything from a few quick lines to detailed drawings with some notes added to the side e.g. sun position, some colour indications, possible format vari

Chinese automaker JAC has announced its intentions to unveil a new C-segment concept at the forthcoming Auto China 2008 show in Beijing. Claimed to introduce the evolution of the current production C-segment car, the new ‘C' concept aims to reaffirm the company's brand identity first seen in the Eagle concept from 2006.Built to showcase the Chinese car idiom, the C concept's exterior design is characterized by soft surfaces and contrasted by sharp, tense lines. The brand identity is demonstrated in the treatment of the front bumper, which is said to be reminiscent of a Chinese theatre mask. The front end design is linked by the graphics of the headlamps and grille, while the rear end is optically linked to the body when seen in profile, evolving the typical separation seen on current Chi

The weather was nice yesterday so we all went for a walk; the baby in the stroller, my husband with his nifty new macro lens for his camera, and me with my large sketchbook.  I sketched a couple flowers and a couple trees and a bit of the budding of the trees with a basic graphite pencil while we were out.  Then, when we returned home I added colored details to some of my sketches and explored some variations on the themes, pulling the key points out of my memory.Trying to sketch the two different trees got very complicated.  All those branches going in front of and behind each other and providing fore-shortening challenges when they're coming straight at me.  It's easier when there are masses of leaves on them, but not nearly as interesting.

First Automobile Works of China, also known as FAW, have released concept car sketches for a forthcoming concept set to be unveiled at Auto China 2008 in Beijing. Regardless of the size and segment, four-door sedans are traditionally one of China's best sellers, and FAW is looking to solidify its presence in the segment with this concept. Simply dubbed B-131, the concept has raised some interest and wild speculations ranging from production possibilities to the size of the vehicle. These sketches show a dominating face with massive grille defining the vehicle's character, supported by the headlamp graphics starting from the front and bleeding well over to almost on top of the distinctive front wheelarches. And with excellent body to DLO proportions, great stance and simple, yet

Team Kakashi split up into two groups with Captain Yamato and Sakura forming one group and Naruto with Sai on the other group and the ultimate chase for Sasuke commence. Naruto, exhausted from his previous fight with Orochimaru suddenly falls on the ground. Sai then took Naruto in one corner and decided to take a rest. Outside Orochimaru’s base, Kabuto tried to trick Yamato’s wood bunshin that it is impossible for them to find Sasuke, and that it’s only himself that could lead to Sasuke’s whereabouts. Yamato on the other hand, then comments that he can’t be fooled, but it looks like Kabuto’s just buying some time before he attack Yamato. Going back to Sai and Naruto, the latter finally awakens and Naruto was surprised that Sai actually took care of him. We have then a flashback

This is a simple reason why inking is essential after drawing a sketch.Unfortunately I realized that I could write a post on this after I finished inking so can't really show the "before" and "after" images...butHere are two different characters I drew last week itself. One is just a penciled work, the other is given more detail with ink. Forgive the lack of facial expressions... As you can see, the first one, the eyes are hidden out. And in the second one I drew the eyes, they looked weird, so I covered em up. I really need a LOT of practice with the damn eyes.Penciled:and now, the inked one:Look at it... the inked one looks like a printout! So damn cool.I also noticed quite a lot of smudges in the inked picture... have to remember to keep some cloth near me next time to frequently wash m
