Does Asda stock ImagineFX?

Posted inBooks, ReflectionsNo Comments
Some Asdas do, but most don't. I would say you're better off trying WHSmiths. Chances are, if you have an Asda near you then you also have a WHSmiths near you too. (This was in response to one of our more popular search queries: Does Asda stock ImagineFX?)

2014 creativity targets

Posted inBooks, Creativity, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I think the targets should be the same as last year, but this time I should stick to them. Daily Draw more. Even if it's just a silly little doodle, or a sketch on a scrap of receipt paper at work. Pick up a pencil, pen or stylus at least once a day and imagine something new or recreate what…

So, here we are with the questions and answers. I endeavoured to be as brutally honest as I could be and I gave each question a lot of thought. I ended up spraying my thought process on to the page as I was typing, and I did repeat myself a little, so be warned!

WARNING!!! VERY LONG POST!!!

Lady Luck is always smiling on me

There's the obvious things, like having two fully functional arms, two fully functional legs and a brain that works. I don't have any disfigurements, rashes or massive facial moles. I'm not socially disfunctional (while at the same time, I'm not exactly a social buttefly, but a happy medium), and I'm not completely unattractive. Then there's the less obvious things. Money…
