Screenshots of some of the different layouts and color schemes, and of course the different flash site headers will be published here soon, so stay tuned for more sneak previews!

I have updated my site with my new 76 digital remix theme for WordPress.

The new theme is built on a model I have created for a highly configurable, versatile set of premium themes which I will be releasing this summer. The premium themes will each come in three different versions – Editorial, Media and Ultimate (which combines the features of both editorial and media versions). The themes features will include:

I will also release a free 'light' version of the theme set, so watch this space!

Here are a few of my favourite animations by Len Lye made for the G.P.O in the 1930's. His style of hand colouring and printing onto the actual film itself is still mimicked (digitaly) in adverts today. Remember these films were made before colour film existed.

TRADE TATTOO (1937)

A COLOUR BOX (1935)

RAINBOW DANCE (1936)

It also has options for 12hr and 24hr clock.
