Hi there I'm Ian.
I love exploring and the thrill of the hunt for hard to find things. The journey gets muddled sometimes, and I often 'squirrel out' on getting to the destination, but I'll post a pile of interesting nuggets on here that you may find intreguing. My favourite thing to do is take two 'off main' clicks to find the coolest stuff, seemingly at random.
If it's technology related, I'll be all over it. I think my biggest tech regret is when I threw away the computer with 10 bitcoin I was gifted in 2007. *sigh.* I'll make up for it some day.
Having played D&D since 1979, I'll be posting things occasionally for my Fantasy Campaign Setting, "The World of Caudor"
I'll be re-developing this site after I had a really long hiatus while healing from some mental health issues, and this oughtta help.
For now, sit back, relax, and check back often as this all progresses.
"The Devil is in the details."
Summary
I'm a dual UK/Canadian citizen and a creative with over 27 years of mixed media techniques for both print and digital. I really dig branding, but I love free-form illustration and cartography too. I drive professionally because it's really enjoyable. I'm a highly technical designer/developer who creates new and engaging experiences as often as possible. Details, and the little things that delight are what I'm all about. I once spent three hours fixing a three pixel issue on a website, because who'e going to care if I don't... so I do.
