When I was 15 I bought a book that helped steer my growing up. It was the first real opportunity I had to study this new urban artform in any great detail and it inspired me to go out and do it. The whole graffiti and street art movement helped me understand self-expression in art and how to take inspiration from my life experiences. This was when I first considered myself an artist.

After a discussion with a work mate about needing to lose weight and get fit, we seem to be booked up for a bike ride around the Isle of Man TT Mountain Circuit in an attempt to raise a big chunk of money for UNICEF! How the hell did that happen?
Once you’ve gotten over the shock of me doing some exercise, it would be fantastic if you could go and show your support at HelpUsRaise.co.uk

I thought I’d share with you my web design inspiration set on Flickr. It’s a pool of screengrabs of websites that I like. I subscribe to a number of CSS gallery feeds and when I see sites I like I grab them using a Firefox plugin called Fireshot and upload them to my Flickr set for easy reference when I need it. I update it every week or so and I try and keep it ordered by most recently uploaded first.
The image titles are the URLs so you can go off to the site to experience it. If you find it useful you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed for the set.
