Memory lane

80th anniversary - a tablecloth with photos from the past. Oh yeah, I made it from scratch.

Greywater Recycling Bin

This was a group project I did together with Jake Roberts, Gibran Farrah and Olivia Comberti. It was entered in RSAs ‘Sandals’-competition 2007/2008, and we won a prize!

The design brief was to design something that could help a small village called Budikote (India). Our contribution was a greywater recycling basin, utilising excess water from various activities which is currently discarded.

The Basin is scalable to work in the home or for the whole village, depending on the time and money available. All the materials used, from the filter components (sand and charcoal) to the outer body (re-used oil drum) can be easily and inexpensively sourced, allowing the village to be self reliant and so removing the need for external funding.

It's dead.

I did some tutorials on how to make blood splatter. Yes, I was bored.

The dog was so angry it gnawed off its own leg.

Some silly comic strip concept I worked on back in 2006/2007. I might add a few to the series later if I feel inspired.

How to get bigger pictures in Blogger

If you're making a blog based on pictures, you might want them to be larger than the sizes that are available when you upload with the built-in Blogger uploader. After searching the internets, I found this blogpost that revealed a neat little trick to get bigger photos without having to manually resize and upload to another image hosting service.

Create a new post and add a picture.
Go to the "Edit HTML"-tab and locate the piece of HTML-code that starts with <img
Find the place in the code that says s400 and change it to s576 (or s800 if you want even bigger pictures).
