Yep, got me one of those 24 inch imacs complete with utterly legitimate software! (cough cough) The screen is so big that I feel like I’m the captain of the Enterprise every time the starfield wallpaper kicks in. Woah!
To celebrate, I’ve begun tackling the backlog of graphic design projects I’ve been avoiding since my shithouse old PC went wiggy a few months back and became more irritating than it was worth to use. For a start, it was refusing to acknowledge the letters G and H, which made typing a real pain in the arse.
Anyhow, here is my first achievement, the cover of Robert Hood’s forthcoming collection from Altair. You can pre-order it from the Altair site if you want to. The book will be available in October.
Meanwhile, Rob is in Melbourne on a secret mission for Black magazine. Here’s a hint: it involves the king of the zombie makers himself, George Romero.

congrats on the upgrade.. we expect great tentacles from you now.
I’m extending them as we speak!
Holy crap! He’s gonna kill George Romero????
shhhhh…. its supposed to be a surprise.
Kill… then resurrect!You know Rob’s always wanted his very own zombie, and there’d be none cooler than the undead Romero.
damn straight!
Nice!
If you want any advice on software etc, or have any trouble, drop us a line, for I am wise in the ways of Macintoshes.
For starters, consider grabbing Skitch, its a really useful little thing for anyone that works with graphics.
Ta Dave. Actually, I’m quite familiar with Macs as I use one at work. Its having an up to date machine with the software I need on it at home I’m unaccustomed to. I’ve been struggling on for ages cos I was too cheap to cough up the cash. But the prices have come so far down now.
PS. cover looks good. Much better than the Robert Ood version…
yeah. that one sucked.
Hey Cat, the hyperlinks in your entry don’t seem to be working…
bugger… I’ll check it out. Ta.
Letters G and H are quite over-rated :-). Without them we would have the magic of Eorge Romero and Robert Ood … Nice cover too. Any chance you extending those tentacles and strangling my housemate’s mother who is STILL visiting with us? I could deal with the noises in the early morning, the using of all the milk, the comments about my weight, but when she started in on Dr Who tonight, that was the end!!!
Who is sacred. The woman will have to be killed.
I is a-greasing da steps as we talk! The Sontaran Strategy demanded respect! They are an ancient (generally easily defeated) enemy.
ooh! I love Sontarans!
There’s just something special about a creature that looks like a muscular raisin.
isn’t there wot!
