I sent two December desktop wallpapers into Smashing Magazine this month titled World Harvest and Natural Grid. They’re a little dark and moody.
World Harvest: a graphic novella relates to a side project that I’m working on over the summer (which has slipped by the way a little over the last week). It’s based on a dark future only a few decades further into our current misdirection.
An icon for overweight middle aged bogun-geek web designers. A lego block in a Meccano world. A synergy of tattoos, memories of bare knuckle fist fights, and old episodes of Star Trek. My name is Steven Clark and I'm a highly opinionated web designer with a few good ideas. I'm too old for fist fights.
My photography blog Walk a Mile in my Shoes is back up and running. Due to bandwidth issues it's only one image at a time and not full text in the RSS feed. It's licensed under creative commons , meaning not for commercial use and you need to attribute, otherwise drop me a line via the contact form on this site.
You might also like to check out my links blog over at Nortypig.com to learn more about everything worth mentioning.
Currently I only have a static page for illustrations but if time allows I'd like to start another illustration blog.

Clay Shirky's Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations has been on my bookshelf for the last few months literally screaming to be read. In fact, I'm wondering how I got so sidetracked to have reached the end of the year without having consumed it. The message of the book is an area of my own fascination, the effects that our new technologies have on the way we relate to each other, and how we're now empowered in ways that were historically unheard of (or not even conceived of) not too long ago.
