Ok so we’re a little slow of the mark but Happy New Year from us all! We hope everyone had a good year in 2009 (Year of the OX!) but we hope you have an even better year in 2010.
I’ve been thinking about a few things that I would like to achieve in 2010. Whilst these are really specific to OxCreative, they are things that I think most of us could try to embrace:

More blog posts equals more content. More content equals more traffic. More traffic means lots of interaction, followers and good networking! It would be nice to start interacting with those in the community and so we are looking to (more…)

I received some lovely Letraset Tria Markers and so after using them for a couple of weeks here’s what i’ve found.

I had alot of things planned for this weekend; work on OxCreative, get a few odd jobs finished around the house, spend time with my girlfriend and family and work on some new sites. However, as usual, things never seem to go to plan and I woke up around 3-4am saturday morning with intense pain from under my right ribcage and ended up going to see the (more…)

I have eventually got around to getting the website finished, the new site design is live and I am going through checking for bugs/issues and also updating content (the gallery is a bit empty at the moment!). Hopefully by this weekend I will have a good amount of content in the gallery

I decided to make some Apple Iphone wallpapers available for free download – suitable for both the original Iphone and the Iphone 3g.
To save them, right-click and choose “save image as…”

I have recently joined Istockphoto.com to offer royalty-free stock images. They have a great collection of photographers, animators, artists and designers contributing and is definitely worth checking out! I am slowly building up a collection of illustrations that will be made available on Istockphoto shortly.
