Two Years On - How I’m Enjoying Life at Existem
Well it crept up on me like a metaphorical Ninja, but I’ve now been working at Existem for (just) over two years.
In that time I’ve worked on many different projects, met loads of interesting people and taken part in two HUGE events in the form of a4uexpo and a4uawards, and it’s fair to say I think the best is still to come.
On a personal level I feel my work has improved hugely since I have been here and I hope that it’s something that keeps constantly improving as we move forward.
Over the past year or so (mainly due to my first computer going to silicone heaven, taking the first 8 months work with it), I’ve kept quite a large catalogue of stock illustrations, icons, photoshop brushes and wordpress stuff and I thought now would be a fitting time to pass on some of these things.
You can download all this stuff as a zip file here (careful, it’s quite large at 300MB)
Everything provided has either been made by me or found from open source sites online.
I hope you find it helpful

Filming those Mistresses!
Its been hard to stop the girls in the Office (especially Claire!) talking about Mistresses on BBC and all the shenanigans going on!
But we did all have a gander when they used the office next door as a base for filming.
Chris especially liked the actresses using our window as a Mirror!
Here are a few shots we took a couple of Months back…
