Hello world!

I've just joined Twitter - follow me at benthompson70 if you fancy it! Just become a full member of Harrogate B4B too. Been busy working at York for a few days which was very nice, and will be out that way again shortly for a meeting for some potential new business with a new client. V excited about that!

In the meantime, here are a couple of pix for your viewing pleasure. One from the recent holiday at Eweleaze Farm in Dorset (that's me in the middle!) and another of a recent project I did for the Regional Food Group (cover shot of the Food and Drink Alliance brochure).

Its been a busy couple of weeks for Howabout Creative Solutions since we returned from our holiday 'darn sarf' with an interesting and challenging mix of work including advertising, publication design, exhibition design and a chunky interactive pdf. I've been working on location in Leeds at Savvy, on location in York at Red, as well as burning the midnight oil on a plethora of other projects back home in Harrogate - long may it continue!

The BforB breakfast meetings in Harrogate continue to be interesting and informative (I have already made contact with one or two web designers and have met some wonderful people), and I am pleased to say I have been invited to join as a full member - an opportunity I am more than happy to accept.

Despite all these long hours, and multiple projects to juggle, there has still been time to fill the Harrogate air with some good old noise pollution, this time featuring The Stooges, Rolling Stones, Quantic and those Howabout favourite's, Mudhoney. Oh, and talking of music, I thought the recent BBC programme 'The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E Smith' made for some excellent viewing. Subtitles would have come in useful here and there, but there you go...
