My latest 3D modelling effort inspired by a little pencil sketch I saw of Roger Rabbit. I might try to make it furry.

One of the Big O’s last interviews
As a few of you already know, Roy Orbison is my favourite singer. He’s the guy I sound like when I sing. Well, I just came across this interview he did with David Letterman in the year he passed away. And I’m sharing it with all of you.

My IQ test result
I took an IQ (kinda) test tonight which you can get to by clicking this link.
My result was Visual Mathematician with a score of 133.
It’s only 40 questions. Not sure how accurate it is but it was fun to dooooooo.
Here’s what it said about my result:
Visual Mathematician
Your IQ Score is: 133
You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. These skills combined with your strengths in logic are what make you a Visual Mathematician.
You’re able to understand patterns visually and in numbers. That means your mind can create a mental picture for any problem. In addition to that skill, you possess an intelligence that allows you to apply math to that picture, too. That helps you manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution. You have many skills that are critical to success and problem-solving. Your talents help you understand the “big picture,” which is partly why people may turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. You flourish in environments where tasks are clearly defined, and you are a whiz at improving processes and making things more efficient. Your ability to detect patterns and your skills in math and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone.
Outside of work, Visual Mathematicians tend to do well at strategic activities like chess. It must be that ability to recognize patterns — both as they are and how they develop. Regardless of how you put your mind to use, you’ve got a great set of talents. You will be able to envision a clear path and calculate the risks, and more importantly, the rewards, of anything you take on.

Music and Microphone wallpaper
I created this wallpaper whilst trying to design a backdrop for my karaoke laptop. Something to put up on the screen as I get ready and set to do karaoke. The final version has a big yellow mic instead of the blue one and the words “Welcome to Karaoke With Dave” across the screen. This version is much nicer on the eye.

Particular Grass only.., animated!!
I took my last project, you know, the grass picture, and added a little bit of movement. Only a very little bit. Slightly animated the flies, rotated the camera and the field. I like how it turned out, though.

A new 3D picture from me… Particular Grass
 |
| From 3D Gallery |
I’ve made a new picture with Blender (free 3D software). This one is not ‘really’ an original piece. I did make it from scratch but I followed a tutorial to do it. The flies and the flowers were my own creations, not in the tutorial, and the field wasn’t curved in the tutorial. But the grass itself I needed a lot of help with. Anywho, here it is. I call this piece, Particular Field…

Some karaoke fun with me singing My Way
Last week I went to a karaoke with the intention of entering a competition. It was only a heat leading to a final with a top prize of £500, so no pressure. Anywho, I sung a couple of songs to enter. I Drove All Night and some other song which escapes me right now. Not good enough to win, unfortunately. Still, it was an interesting night with a man who was a cross between Ronnie Corbett and Woody Allen dancing around the whole evening as though he were on speed.
Here’s a couple of videos from the night. One of the aforementioned Frank (the cross breed comedy guy) and one of myself singing My Way, lovingly filmed by my girlfriend, Sarah.
Frank:
Me:
I didn’t sing My Way until after the winner was announced. Who knows, maybe I’d have won it? lol. Oh, well. C’est la vie as they say in England when they’re trying to sound clever.

New Photo Composition: Handy Man
Here’s a little picture I put together yesterday whilst trying to get a decent photograph of one of my close friends. On my first attempt at taking a picture, the bleeder put his hand up in front of his face. “Nice clear shot!” I thought to myself and I asked him to let me take another photo because I had an idea.
So, lo and behold, he did. I took the two photos into photoshop and here, my dear readers, is the result.
Andy the Handy Man.
