Sponsored links added to Delicious RSS feeds

If you follow my link feed (I’ll include this post in there too), you may have noticed some adverts coming down that stream.

This is a new development, announced just the other day by the new owners of bookmarking site, Delicious. They will be inserting ads from now on in all their RSS feeds to help pay for overheads.

I’m not keen on unsolicited ads so will be moving it over to Pinboard as soon as I can. No further action required on your part.

I am still in bed with the Englandshire Winter Virus, so please bear with, it might take me a few days to sort it out.

In the meantime look at these amazing animations by the mysterious Volvulent.

Mission Statement 08/02/2016

Hello.

My name is Paul Greer I work at BDH Design and Direction in Bristol making computer animation for the television and other formats. I live in the West of England. I am married with three children.

In my spare time (distant laughter) I draw, write and play with animation.

I started this blog nearly ten years ago as a mixture of a scrapbook of internet things, a log of my professional work, and an archive of my more personal art and drawings.

My main interests are animation and investigating different ways of telling stories with pictures. I also like to post about music, tech, film, friends, politics and comics.

This is a very exciting time with regards to story telling and the ways those stories are disseminated so I would like to connect with people who have a similar interest in radiant experiments with media, and who might like share what we can offer to that project.

As well as this I would like to use this blog as a research station and personal feedback loop to reinforce and encourage my creative life, hopefully providing a resource and point of encouragement to readers as well.

Here is a gallery of the some of work I have been part of or have been fortunate enough to make myself.
