140 Characters Project - Get your own cartoon logo
It's time to announce my new project. 140 CHARACTERS. The idea sprung to mind when I was designing a new logo for my Putty CAD games design business and chatting to people on twitter (which as lots of people know uses 140 characters of text). I thought it would be fun to create 140 cartoon characters to represent peoples businesses and/or sites with logos which can be used for profiles on Twitter/Facebook, Google+ or anywhere they are needed online. as well as creating the logos I'm looking at partnering with merchandise manufacturers and promotions people to allow the logos to be turned into promotional items and/or give-aways for businesses.
If you would like your own cartoon character logo by Ric, they are just £50 gbp (paypal) and will be delivered via email in hi-res .png format for use on PC/Mac and other systems. Once the logo is created you will be free to use it however you like.

These are the first logos as examples to get the ball rolling! If interested you can email Ric direct at: info @ puttycad.co.uk (no spaces)

Creative funding - help me out and get your very own caricature avatar!
So, a couple of days ago my Hard Disk decided to turn up it's toes and I hadn't made a backup for a couple of months! Unfortunately aswell as losing the work I was doing, it's quite an old machine now and to get it back up and running would be nearly half the cost of a new machine. So to get back up and running I'm trying to raise funds to get a replacement laptop that I can use to keep my freelance business running. However everyone who donates will get something in return! From a follow on twitter to caricatures. Please check out the project and see if you can help out!
