As the title says. Not been round much since September 2010. So I thought I would update my journal here.

Lets see........... I left Minuteman Press Northampton around then, as I was un-happy being treated like a wally.

I then tried going it alone for a while doing freelance design and print. It worked till Christmas that year, but it was not working out.

I then got a job in Field & Trek as a store supervisor, as I was not a fan of the design industry at this point. I really really liked this job. Nice staff and nice customers. Just a shame the boss didn't know what they hell they where doing and I then had to take over a do two people job so that the crap didn't hit the fan. I would be still there, if the company that owned it didn't decide to pull the plug on it and made us redundant. Customers and staff where gutted. After Field & Trek I got a transfer to Sports Direct as a shoe supervisor. Sports Direct owned Field & Trek, and still do. It was just our store that closed. Anyway..... Sport Direct have nice staff, but the company run them into the ground and I hated the it. It was the opposite to Field & Trek, and made me ill. So that lasted only 3 months.

It was January 2012. I joined my girlfriend in her Childminding business, and I have been here ever since.

I have also got married on the 28th May this year. So Mr & Mrs Kelly now :D

I also have a squirrel, which I found as a baby while working at Field & Trek. Plus I have three rabbits and a hamster. It seems the wife's love of animals is rubbing off on me. Oh yeah..... I have a cat too, but he's more the wife's than mine. He bloody hates me!

It only been in the last couple of weeks that I have found the time to do a vector illustration for a friend. Plus at the same time, I decided to make a new website and logo under a new name. As I have been thinking about selling my own t-shirts, with my own designs on them. I have been doing it on and off for other companies, that I have not been able to show on here for years. So I thought I would do it myself. So Joke Art is going, and Flat Four Design is being made. Links below:

The name came around after my love for old air cooled VW's, and as there is a flat four engine at their very heart. It seemed the best choice. As most my designs will be of air cooled VW's, and then into more modern cars at a later date. Not just VW's either

Thanks to people that still view my work, as I am at over 68,000 views :D
