woo it’s finally finished! went live today! my skin of bbc 1xtra’s xtra bass 2005 is online now!
have a nose around here to see it in action and stuff! woo! respect to the other artists too. jon black of magnet has done a superb job of the other spectrum of dnb.
In other recent developments, i submitted some tshirt designs to the magnificent hospital records yesterday at their request, so hopefully i will be able to report news of trickartt hospital tshirts very soon! i’m also trying to make myself a one-off tshirt that reads ‘i am the internet’. and in further tshirt news i did a design for john b which you should hopefully be seeing a lot of in the near future, especially around wmc… tshirt madness in trickartt world!
on a totally off-topic note, condolences to tarzan and congratulations to it’s successor rolldabeats, a new bigger, better and all round more pleasant ultimate drum and bass database.
i’m thinking of overhauling my website in favour of something non-flash based, but i will archive the old site for nostalgic purposes. also my portfolio is kinda disorganised and not entirely how i want it any more, so that’s on my hitlist. in the mean time i might do a real cheesey typical graphic designer’s website with 45° pinstripes and all that sort of jazz (will you play us some yazz flute mister burgundy?) cos for some reason i’m itching for a non-flash based webdesign project. as usual my mind has moved on, but you heard it here first, whatever i was about to type!
oh and if anyone wants to teach me css and / or php, or even better make a php backend for my blog out of the goodness of their heart or for a skills trade, email me at my new address ricky@trickartt.com (i only just found out i can have @trickartt.com email addresses). i should learn to do things properly.
i just stumbled across this while doing some googlewhacks and i’m in hysterics about it. i have no idea why i find it so funny, or why i didn’t expect to find something like this when searching for salami machine!
i know it’s been a long time since an update, but i’ve had a hectic winter with all sorts of stuff going on, so when it comes to writing something here i have to really want to do it, as it’s all html-based. so if there’s any developers out there that might like to build me a nice php backend for my blog out of the goodness of their hearts, mail me, or just save this page and get to work and surprise me when it’s done.. cos this is all there is to my blog. just one html document. ghetto, huh?
so yeah. chrimbo treated me well, but i’ll spare you the details. been getting all sorts of stuff done lately, as you can see in my portfolio.. including proper work and even more stupid illustrations cos i know you love all that wierd stuff. but the biggest thing i’ve done recently is:<
so today i made my first trickartt tee. bad company style!
i’m yet to perfect my techniques but it went really well for the first tshirt i’ve ever printed. means propa ones are another step closer 😀 la-de-da photoshopped pic 😀
just found this in my iphoto, thought it was worth posting…
An experiment i’ve been working on today, with type and an old line drawing / wallpaper of mine… thought it was kinda crazy. inspired by ni9e. certainly an idea to develop on…
ok so we have some hotdog firsts. again, to those that recieved some, post pix, and for those that want some email (don’t aim, i’ll lose your addy) me a postal address and expect some at some unknown future date. thankyou to my good sir flea for the first, and my man korbs for the second…

it’s blurry, but you can see what’s going on ;o)
Also occuring of late, saturday was the launch night for leetradio, on which i played. it was an honour to have the first cockup of the station, damn trial of nicecast adding mad noise… got it sorted swiftly tho and broadcast was good, until i started doing bad thigns with 80s music for the last half hour. and i’m quite pleased i finished with ‘who killed bambi’ by the sex pistols. hohum, next week i aim to have my mic sorted so i can be a bit more free with my slection. doesn’t mean i won’t be mixing tho :D. so don’t forget you can check my mixing spectaculars every saturday 8-10pm gmt on leetradio.com.
And also moving and shaking in the world of trickartt is tshirts. i aim to print up some prototypes (don’t worry if they do turn out good (i don’t see why not tho ;D) pics will be posted somewhere on this site) within the next week of my first deisgns, which means sellage to you guys isn’t far off. as usual, feel free to contact me to express an interest or a suggestion or whatever 😀
The next piece of trickartt work to grace your stores / shelves / bodies should be nu:electro sleeves, which are so hawt right now, and the music’s damn good too. if you’re lucky there’s some promos of ELC003 & 004 at beta store but you don’t want them. cos you want my superhot artwork. which you’ll also be able to buy in advance from the beta store.
Also forthcoming are prospects of trickartt critical tshirts, which would be a very very limited run. then also on the horizon is the pi recordings art (see portfolio), which i’m really looking forward to seeing printed ( i was thinking how great my logo would look as a picture disc the other day actually hint hint sir linus :P), and the dogsonacid sisterlabel ‘under construction’ [see finished logo] artwork. which is gonna be big!
i’m off to update my portfolio a little bit now. and if you haven’t checked already, i put a very 1970s but still sexy trickartt november wallpaper up for your downloading pleasure on sunday too. ttfn.
so i’ve been working on this really dull project on the tube for college, but i’m finally making progress, and the canvas (after the forst one collapsing and me messing up the second one) is looking good at 3rd time lucky. you can see my original drawing here, but it’s kinda wide.
