The Way Out West - A Blog about Pembrokeshire life, as written by an idiot

We hit Freshwater West this morning for a surf and stumbled upon this little number. They're filming a small part of the new Harry Potter film in the dunes on the beach. Apparently its costing £750,000 to make and film on this set. It will be in the film for 5 minutes! (its Dobby’s house, who’s dead apparently). Heres a bit more about it

I've got a crazy mate who's half flash developer half sculptor. In his day job he works for Julian Oppie, in his spare time he makes tornados!

I havent been out taking pictures, for the sake of taking pictures for a long time. A little bored when i got home this evening i went for a spin on my bike and snapped a few of the area. This was one of the better ones of Lampter Velfrey Church. The colours are nice, but the framing is crap!

This looks like something out of a computer game, but it could be a reality. These massive floating cities hold up to 50,000 people and could be a solution for 'climate refugees'. People whos homes have been flooded due to melting polar ice. more info here

In a changing world were sustainability is becoming so important, some clever bods in Snowdonia are making paper out of sheep poo! There also a reindeer poo paper available! Well done indeed. Check out their website.

Stratacut is a form of stop frame animation that uses a series of paper sheets with cutouts. Its mind blowingly time consuming, but looks cool...Stratacut animation

I've wanted to design some t-shirts for ages. Tonight seemed like a good time to have a crack as I’m knackered from last nights beers and surfing today. I came up with the 'brand' SouthWest as well, that’s the part of Wales i live in. I drew the font myself using doctored curved boxes. The designs above are to reflect the sports I like to get involved in, top one is biking, 2nd is surfing and the bottom one is a more abstract design of a abseil rope setup, the texture is meant to reflect the ropes weave.
