If you’re going to be doing more than a couple of hours of rotoscoping in your lifetime, buy a graphics tablet. You won’t want to use it exclusively (sometimes a mouse is more precise), but it will be worth it. Get whatever size you can afford. You can always buy a bigger one when you’re a success… I’m sure it’s much harder to be a success with RSI, and a life without that misery is worth at least a couple of hundred quid. Swap between your mouse and pen whenever you begin to feel uncomfortable, and make sure to take a break!

Hey, shameless plug! I’ve started multimedia production company called Super Mega Action Plus. We make cool stuff like videos, websites and other fancy things to make whatever it is you do look as great as it possibly can. Even if you don’t want something made, go have a look at our creations… oh, go on. Thanks!

Hey, Deerhoof are giving away a free download-only album on their Kill Rock Stars site! It might not stay for long, so make haste! If you haven’t heard Deerhoof before, its probably the best way to find out you like them, and then you can go buy the rest of their stuff.

This is very cool: CGPortfolio - Jason Seiler. Next week, I’ll learn to paint like that, please, thanks.

I’ve bought a new domain, based on an idea I have for a future musical project that I’d like to call ‘A Duck Selling Quack‘. So, from this point on, that is my blog address, but with no spaces and with ‘.com’ on the end. You can also use ‘fraserj.co.uk’ if you prefer, but it’ll only bring you here…

Anyway, my music won’t sound like ducks. I just like the name. It’s kinda appropriate of a blog too… Maybe I’ll improve the design at some point soon too!

Keeping with the sharing music thing, I’ve added Jim Fear profiles to Last.fm and iLike, so you can listen to our dulcet tones in Facebook or umm… Last.fm if you like. You may notice we share our Last.fm page with a similarly defunct hardcore band from Denmark. They got the page first, we got the name first! Our music is on there too, tho they seem to be more popular in terms of Last.fm users listening to their music… It’s not a competition.

Below is a handy button to add Jim Fear to your iLike profile in Facebook or not.

Coming soon… [ element ] from Scarborough.

If you can at all possibly help it, DO NOT rotoscope people you like. You will not like them any longer and it’s not their fault.

Thank you.

I had to make a jigsaw puzzle featuring a picture of a phoenix as part of a project we’re working on at the mo. As we couldn’t get a copyright free one, I thought I’d paint one in Photoshop instead. I like painting stuff in Photoshop.
