What is Inkthis and how tough was it to get it off the ground?
Inkthis is a design exhibition I started with artist/designer Gurps Kaur in mid 2006 as we were getting frustrated at the lack of design & illustration produced in our city. The first exhibition was limited to 4 weeks before the gallery closed with 1 week setup time so everyone involved spent long booze filled hours into the night creating their works. The end result was amazing and big thanks go out to all involved!

Do you ever get hand cramp?
I have done recently, it’s not nice. I’ve also found working near an open window, where the draft blows across my mouse hand can result in pain. The other day, after a few late nights of messing with Illustrator my elbow began hurting, having been held at a right angle for too long. I tell you, doodling and computering can be a dangerous business!

How do you make you work look so shiny and clean?
Well I don’t think that’s true of a lot of my work, some of it is pretty messy and that’s something I really enjoy. For the stuff that is clean though I guess I just utilise the fact that in digital art it’s very easy to achieve clean edges and perfect textures. If I do use photos for pictures like that I make sure I put in a bit of time retouching them before hand, fixing little bits and bobs that might distract from the overall purpose of the image I’m using. I’m moving away from that sort of stuff right now, using a few more traditional media to give it a rough edge. Whether people will like this or not is another thing, but I’m enjoying it right now. Shinybinary will be Shittybinary for a bit.

This is clearly a trap.
