(I haven't gone yet... I just wanted to say...)
Way back in 2005 Mother Advertising asked me to do some ... and I gag even just typing the word... 'Bling' graphics for Selfridges Christmas retail and window display. By Autumn 2005 b-b-b-b....bling was, to my mind, already well over, done with and dead, and I was shocked that Mother would want to be doing it. But Mother occasionally come to me for stuff and I try to oblige because in-between the requests for b-b-b-for...b....ling there are some nice jobs to pick up.
Anyway, like I say the style was old hat 3 years ago, but do you know, ever since I did that Selfridges stuff I still get asked to do a bit of, of... b-b-b-b...b-b-ling, about once a week on average.
Just today I got an email from someone saying we'd love to put some of your b-b-b-b-b.....some of your...b...ling on our book cover.
I just wonder whether anyone else gets stuck doing one kind of thing over and over and over again long after it really should not be a style choice on anyone's moodboard any longer?
I always turns it down but I very bearly became "The King of B-b...of B... of b lin...g" back in 2005.

Hey, I pay the bills okay, my point is, why the fuck are people STILL asking for this kind of crap. Admittedly its partly my fault for still having it on my website, but that's cuz I haven't found time to do my website since 1904. But really... fuck. I despair. I can;t believe I was asked is all.
- lots of advancements since 1904... you know they have websites on computers now?734

Hi, need help with a gold gradient. I'm nearly there with my current one - but it still needs perfecting. Are there any good tutorials you could recommend?

I've actually just finished a demi-blingish project. It was quite fun to do - doing the 3d-esque letters reminded me of doing crappy gradients for bitmaps fonts back in the Amiga days.
