Looks a bit unnaturally empty doesn't it? Well that's because, honestly, there is just too much crap on my desk to model and most of it is useless junk.
So I just modelled the 'key' things that are always sitting on my desk....twas fun!

My Desk
This is roughly what my desk looks like, 3D'd up : )

Hotdogs
More 3D experimenting, this time with a colourful hotdog van!

On a side note, I've had a lot of people contacting me and asking "What program do I use to make my 3D look the way yours does?" or something similar. As happy as I am to answer this question, I feel like I should put my answer to this here to save further repetition and to inform those of you who are wondering:
I work in Maya but my processes are technically quite basic and I'm confident that the type of finish can be achieved in any other 3D program. I'm not using any program specific filters or effects - my models are generally low-poly and are fullbright. This means that all of the colour/design work is in the texture and the light/dark 'shading' you see is actually painted and therefore fake. Basically, I believe that it's more about the creativity than the technicalities; you should be dictating your work, not your tools :)

Shop's up...again!
Okay, I've been back and forth but now I'm back again, with my shop hosted on my own website instead of Etsy. Sooo if you fancy a print, how about heading over to the shop and providing me with a few free ice lollies so I don't sweat to my death in this heat :P

First book cover...hopefully not my last
Even though this is of an older illustration of mine, I was so excited to receive this in the post a few days ago...my first book cover! Unfortunately, the book - an essay on trees and the way we live - is published in Italian so I'm not able to read it but, to make up for that, there is gloss detailing on the cover which is something that morphs me into a kid as if I'm handling those 'touch and feel' books. Sad but true.
On another note, I've also updated my online portfolio if you're interested.
