The Sound of the Washing Machine of Life

I have two friends called Adrian Wilkins and Denise Bryan... They travelled the Silk Road for a year or so and created this kalaidoscopic Cabinet of Curiosities on their website silkthreads.org
It consists of eccentric collections of sounds and photos.

Adrian is the sound artist and I asked him if he could record their washing machine one day, for me to put onto the Washing Machine of Life animation.



So he did a beautiful job, and recorded the whole cycle then picked out the perfet 5 second clip.
Here you go, headphones on and zone out to the Sound of the Washing Machine of Life.

The Washing Machine of Life

I just created a birthday e-card.

I started it last year, playing around with the Twirl Tool in Illustrator. I thought I could make the rainbow letters just swirl into shape. So I exported various stages of 'twirls' as swf files from Illustrator and then into Flash. It turned out ok but not that exciting... I liked the abstract shape created when all the letters were totally lost. After a long time I went back through the files and I found an unfinished one that went quite fast. It had this mesmerising washing machine spinning effect. So I played about a bit with it a little bit more and it turned out like this! The Washing Machine of Life.

I've decided to show characters and designs that I do, as I go along on here and put the t-shirt link on too. So here you go:
