Whilst this post is not exactly Flash related, I figure that one of the reasons that “I’m just so into” Flash as a medium is because it empowers me by introducing my inner wannabe artist with the overbearing, enthusiastic geek. It has been quite a long time since I’ve put pen to paper with the specific intention of “drawing something cool” (probably not since I came up with the footloosemoose logo) … and ever since I recently flicked through an art mag with an article on character design I’ve been itching to get my hands dirty.
The images that follow are nothing too fancy - just something I came up with over an hour or two whilst watching TV (yes, I do occasionally step away from the computer!).

If you’ve ever wanted to integrate Flickr images into your Flash project, head on over to Kevin Luck’s website and check out his Flashr API. As it turns out, I’ve wanted to do this for ages - so this weekend I finally decided to venture forth into this land of rainbows and lollypops.

Well - I think we’ve all agreed that I do my best work at 4am. This doesn’t bode well.
As I write this, the previous post about the mb3Digg Engine has received 1729 diggs and the blog post has been viewed 10516 times (even considering this server was “dugg” into oblivion for half of that first day)!
