I’ve met Cookie a few times in the Owl and Pussycat. He’s a great designer / illustrator that’s worked at glue and Poke who’s looking for work again.
He’s just got back from walking 3,000 miles for charity; so if you like his work and want to team up, drop him a line: cookie {at} made-in-england.org.

I’ve just watched the re-run of Charlie Brooker’s excellent Dead Set on E4. No long list of cast and crew at the end, just a URL.
I’ve seen this done once before… Chris Morris’ Jam.

We just used some in a pitch and the client was blown away.
Until recently you needed to spend a good amount of money to get the most out of AR.
That’s just changed.
Using only a webcam and the latest version of Papervision / FLARToolkit library, Digital Pictures have taken their character from the desktop to the desk.
It’s offers a new and exciting way to interact with flash content. The possibilities are wide open.

Having messed around with AR for the last 3 months I’ve gotta say that getting this working in Flash is a mightily impressive achievement.

Yeah, he was gracious and all, but where was the smugness? Where was the payback? Where was the twattishness?
