House of Deadleg – Illustration & Graphic Design by Simon Whittaker

I hope they never make this, but this is my tribute to the King of Daytime TV Detectives, Columbo.

Columbo - The Animated Series

This is a bit of a sneaky peek at something i’ve been working on this week, i’ll post the full & proper thing up sometime later in the week.

Crunchy Frog 3D Product Shot

Frog Mariachi - made for Crunchy Frog packaging but then not required

I’ve been a fan of Adam & Joe since they were on the telly, but I didn’t realise they had a radio show until last year when I discovered podcasts. The weekly download keeps me going into the early hours at work & doubtless annoys the hell out of the people sitting next to me when I start giggling like a loon & spitting coffee everywhere.

As part of my program of teaching myself Flash I decided to try & extend the Podmax illustration I did & to try & make it animated. This then developed into trying to make it fully interactive. The results can be seen below.

There are currently 5 clickable buttons that trigger sound clips & 2 draggable objects. If anyone has any suggestions for sound clips they’d like including as extra buttons then please let me know & i’ll try to include them. When I get chance & learn more Flash/Actionscript I’ll add extra bits & bobs & more sounds, etc.

For now enjoy…

The Adam & Joe Podmax

I’m a big fan of Adam & Joe, & the podcast of their radio show keeps me going well into the early hours at work. This is the original version I made, when for some reason I thought that Joe had blond hair, whereas I believe he’s actually a brunette. I’ve since updated it slightly & i’ll post a sexied up version ASAP.
