Studio shots.

Lunesse asked what my graphics studio looks like, so I said I'd post a few shots so you can get a feel for it.

This first is from June 2005, outside looking south at my north-facing window.



The studio is in our carriage house, above the garage. It's one room, with a kitchenette (no stove), and a full bath (with clawfoot tub!)

This next one is from April 2006. Yes, we can get a fair amount of snow here at times. Just not like Finland.



This last is inside the studio. An auto-photo. I will post a new one. This from June 2005 is outdated, as it shows my old G4 computer & 17" monitor. I've upgraded (finally!) to a G5 with a 20" Cinema display. Also, remodelled the interior of the studio which I hadn't touched since making the carriage house my office back in 1991. Much overdue…



Will see about grabbing some more shots.

How about some other Flat Earthers: what does your space look like?

my little 'flat earth', messy, but i dont care! to the right of the desk is my trusty powerbooks g4 15" too

arwwwww.

Gee, bassjase. Your studio looks positiively pristine compared to mine!

.

[bassjase]

haha, i didnt want to say anything.... but....!

Im actually based at the back of a warehouse so I can run my digital press (anyone need any printing?) so the windpower (geddit???) that blows through actually blows away any rubbish that is on my desk.

[wadcorp]

haha, i didnt want to say anything.... but....!

As I said, I've redone my studio. Just need to get a current digital shot to show off the difference.

After I clean my desk…

[korky123]

You both have nice digs! Messy or clean, I'm sure a lot of good work is produced from them!

[bassjase]

cant wait to see the new studio pics then! I kinda like looking at things like that!

and as for good work.... well.... you would have to ask my director that! and im SURE he will agree with you... ahem.

[wadcorp]

Okay, bassjase. New studio shots.

Here is the current version of my desktop. Now a G5 computer & new 21" Cinema monitor:




When I turn to my right, I have access to the old G4 computer. That's my Oki color laser printer on the far left, an Oki fax to the far right:




Turning right again shows the back of my studio. This window faces east & I have the glorious view of the neighbor's garage roof:




Yes that is a lava lamp…

Lastly, to the left of my desk is the bookcase I installed on the wall. The door at the far right goes into the bathroom:




There is also a kitchenette with sink, microwave & mini-refrigerator just to the left of the bookcase.

The bath is a full-bath, with a very old claw-foot tub. Heck, you could camp out in this place!

Very nice space Wadcorp. Looks a little more comfy than my cube. I do have a nice view of some trees and a parking lot!

[Retrocanary]

Why do I get the feeling I've stumbled into an estate agents office?

Do they have lava lamps?

I have to wait till this heat wave passes so I don't bring down the eastern coast's power grid when I turn it all on

[bassjase]

now THATS what we're talking about! You had me with the G5!!!! Ok, that sounds suspect, but a very nice studio Wadcorp, and sorry for what I said about it being messy.

I like it a lot!

[SpaceIntruderDetector]

My favorite spot in the whole world. My wife thinks it's an incredible eyesore though.
Had to stich this one together in Paintshop Pro. Room is too small to get back far enough.

[korky123]

Your space is so big that my screen had to resize itself! Do you record music? Produce it? Is any online for us to hear?

I haven't posted anything I've done in quite a long time anywhere. It's just a hobby with me always has been. I never entertained the idea of ever doing anything for money with this stuff. I just experiment and have fun with it ,kind of like being in my own spaceship or something Alot of my stuff is on the harsh side sort of a cross between "Cabaret Voltaire" and "Severed Heads" ( An Austrailian electronic/experimental band from the '80s) . So in other words anything goes. I've recently been going through my "archives" from early 80's to early 90's and cleaning stuff up in the computer from old 4 track tapes and cassettes and will hopefully put together a website of some sort with it on there sometime soon. I'm flattered anyone would be interested in it besides myself, Thanks for asking.!

sort of a cross between "Cabaret Voltaire" and "Severed Heads" ( An Austrailian electronic/experimental band from the '80s)

Gee, if you are really interested I'll try to get something on myspace or somewhere else. Yes, Tom Ellard aka SH is still out there. He did this song "Pilots Hate You" that's really good, the video is pretty good too but he's unfortunately sort of "politicized" himself which kind of leaves a bad after taste with me. Not that I disagree with his core views ncessarily but He's decidely gone left wing these days . I don't care to hear hear one sided arguments as I learned from getting into Cabaret Voltaire there's no such thing as black and white, just present the evidence and let your audience draw thier own conclusions. But, aside from that I think Severed Heads ranks as one of the most original and creative groups to come out of the 80's. I met Tom during the "Rotund for Success" tour back in '89? after the show along with Stephen Jones the video guy. Tom is a genuinely eccentric character just like his music. I asked him some pretty reasonable questions and he seemed interested only in "taking the piss out of me" as the English say. I can remember walking away and saying to myself "what the hell was that all about?!" . I'm sort of returning the favor to him on his posts at youtube

Hi all,
I remembered this old thread and thought that I would share
with you from where I submit my manic drivel.

It's taken a couple of weeks to get used to not be sitting at a desk on an office chair to surf and so on but it's becoming second nature now. That acre of leather is way more comfortable that my office that's for sure.

My family say that since the internet moved into the living room they see more of me which has to be a good thing. I was posting too much anyway.



Cheers all,
Jon

[BeechwoodAve]

Jon-

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice set up!! AND you've got our favorite website up to boot! I'd be carful with that glass of wine, though! Take care of that leather...

Jon: You have a room like that and kids?

They must be locked up in another area of the house, likely a velcro room.

.

[white city]

Yeah, We lock them in the cellar!

Seriously, they have leant to pick up and put away now so at least ONE room in the house is reasonably tidy! You should see THEIR room!

Now that is quite a different matter sometimes

Cheers,
Jon

The quaint english expression is "floordrobe"....! It sums up kids and floors pretty well IMHO!

AND I can't complain about that - a couple of pics of my workshop

[Wireless]

Jon:- Looks like you've got one or two CD's there mate!

And Mark

Jeezz, my God, it made me laugh with your quote of "Dinners' in the microwave, sweetie", I thought the reply might be.....

"Wherez the microwave honey!!!!?"

LOL Nice one - ans - just past the satelite dish, under that old laserjet and mind the barbeque!

[michaelmaclauchlan]

Jon, you've inspired me. I think I'm ready to have my family room/office look like this! Really nice job !

To do this right, I think I need: a big screen (computer /TiVo/HD combo), sound system and wireless keys/mouse, and black leather . Do you use any work surface for your keys/mouse – I think I’d need that.

I notice you have a vid camera – ready for a Skype vid call ?;-) (webcam/firewire connection doesn’t work yet: ‘USB’ only at the moment).
