Can I say what a visual treat it was to open the site up this morning and see all those pieces by Hob on the front page. (A marvellous antidote to the irritations I am already feeling at work despite it only being 9 o'clock.) They work really well on the screen - all luminous.

Aye.... I heartily concur. I too should be working, but these are MUCH more interesting. Lovely stuff.

Peace

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. It's much appreciated :)

It occurred to me that unless you've seen Morris's or Beckensall's illustrations, even with the fancy photography techniques that've been developed recently, it can still sometimes be tricky to discern the actual motifs in the carvings. I may have gone a bit OTT with the colour in some of them, but hey, if I can't get away with being a bit psychedelic on tma, where could I?

Thanks again you nice people, I'm back to toil over a hot graphics tablet again.

I've just had it pointed out to me that the thumbnails on tma aren't showing up in Internet explorer for some of those rok art pictures, and that the same ones have a peculiar shadow on them in Firefox, though the images themselves are OK.

Anybody out there using a browser that shows the thumbs properly? I suspect I've made some freaky error with my file formats here.
